popular trimming. though this Is so easily
done that already 1t has become too common

winter, but there Is o new woollcn fringe
that takes precedence Of It. Largo vulcan
ite buttons are profuse1y used on cioaks Of
the delicate tints, While novelties, In the
shape Of o1ydizea ailyer and bronze arc re-
served for the safious shades OF gray
