TRIMMINGS.
Embroidery in bands and insertion is
now the "rage," indeed, the taste tor
embroidery Is seen in every line; dresses,
msntels and even gloves are decorated
with it. For evening dress, bands and
insertions of cause needle work IN single
AS well as vsrlsgsted colors are selected.
French lsces and white silk laces studded
with small pearl beads are used to cor
spond with the piostron, when that is so
ornamented. Heavy antique laces, such
as Duchesse, Honiton, Irish Point and
others of heavy meshes, are preferred to
the most delicate patterns we have been
accustomed to admire.
The new fringes are elegant-but they
are expensive. The prices range from
$3.50 to Sc per yard, these, in cOujunc-
ton with their accompaniment the deli
cate psssementeries, rich in ornamental
work and dotted with suspended MILAN

bined with other colors, as rose-red tss-
sells and beige Colored grasses.
NEW BoNNETs AND hats.

spring openings, is the favorite. This
chip is seen in white, black, beige, gray
and the other fancy shades, and consld
ering the frsilty Of the material, is well
made, being double Sewed. Many rough
straws, also fine Belgian strsws and Tus-
can bralds, are selected. The Marie
Stuart, that caught the fancy st first
with its becoming pointed coronet, the
modest cottage and the stylish srched
brim are the most popular. These are
without fsce-trimming, the inside Of the
front being lined with dark velvet or
satin, and the brim edged with row
Of gold braid or that gaudy rainbow
braid, with its msny-colored tInsel
threads. Handsome hats for visiting and
dressy occasions are richly trimmed with
scsrfs 0f Duchesse or finest TorchOn lace,
or with ribbons Of satin and watered rib
bon combined. GauZes with rough
threads of plush, velvet and satin, tulle
sparkling with silver and gold stars, or
dotted with bright jeweled little bugs,
are among the trimming novelties Gid
ed ornaments, such as pins, large balls,
even gilded fllets, for the fronts, of bon
nets, are imported. Dead gold is most
admired.
A large number of the latest bonnets
received are Of biege-coored chip snd
trimmed throughout with the same shade,
having waLered biego ribbon strings,
satin or gros grain loops, ostrich tips and
darker brown velvet tor n bsndcnu or
fllet IN front and for facing the brlm and
curtain. Some new chip bonnets are
merely brims and curtain bands, fall
wresths of flowers with fringe and leaves
filing up the space.
