The rage for colored embroidery. has
penetrated to the region of cloaks and
garments for street wear. The en-
broidery is executed in varied oolors,
or In all shades of one color; such. for
instance, as purple, amber of red, and
isnfrequently mixed with fine jet. or

cry. The work is beautifully done,
and the garments very. expensiyes but
they are not effective in the street.

THE HAIR ,ffs
A new method of wearing the hair
promises to achieve quite a vogue, and
avoids the use of the chignon. 1t is
accomplished by simply braiding the
hair, and then takingit outand suffer
ing it to fall in frizzled or thickly
waved mass, tied at the top with rib
bon or velvet the bow and ends of
which fall among the m asses. It is
very effective, particularly for ladies
whose hair is rather short . II -
