METAL TRIMMINGS.
'Tis scarce to be believed how fashionable
''metar' of different kinds is at present. We
have bonnets all crusted over with gilt, silver
or steel, or again we find alternations Of
metal braids with varieties Of straw. Metal
additions in the way of trimming are largely
used, as for example, rows of large gilt beads,
gilt bands and curiousIy devised gilt orna-
IRents in great variety. Metal is employed
on costumes likewise. Dress fabrics are
interviewer Herewith; braidiHgs or bands
are wholly or partially composed of gilt or
silver, and ribbons placed in band like fashion
show borderings Of metal Again we see
what may be called metallic effects" Over
superb costumes of Oriental fabric, seems to
have fallen shower of gold or silver, but it
is in seeming only since in truth there Is no
thread Of metal anywhere. Rainbow jet on
dark silks Is also conspicuous in many colOred
raaiations
OUTDOOR GAR4ESrz

and fchus that ever were; so coquettish, 50
pretty. OF black silk or cashmere. they are
trimmed with lace or fringe, and the mora

scarf is very graceful and stylish wrap in
the form of scarf, caught by boarnous
plat at the back, and tied loosely in 'front.'
Then We have cut away jackets Of light
msssic cloth, either black, gray or brown,

mantilla is graceful design, and in dolmans
the Regina is distinguished model. Gar
ments made in silk are trimmed with rain
bow jet, and additional finish is given by
lace or fringe.
cosrUNEEcoLoRED EMBROIDERY
Cool wash costumes are of percsle stamped
in bourrette patterns combined with solid
eolored percale. showing overskirt, cut away
jacket and vest. Knife plaitings are used in
trimming, or again the underskirt IS finished
with BIAS ruffIe and white or colored en-
broideTy ornament the overskirt and jacket.
On white costumes, pretty effects are pro-
duced by scarlet or blue embroidery Color
ed embroidery IS indeed quite feature in
spring fashions, fer We see it furthermore on
sacques, aprons, pstticoass, and even night
dresses, to say nothing of collars, ties and
handerchiefs. Stylish handkerehiefs are now
also stamped with colored borders woven in
scallops. But the most coquettish intermix-
lures Ooear in breakfast caps, which are
extremely fashionable even for young ladies.
