jet are introduced. Fringes for mantillas
have very deep netted heading glisten-
ing with jet. For heading laminee and
other fringes is a narrow moss trimming.
Elegant black embroidery is imported for
applying on black silk dresses. This is
worked upon foundation, which is after
ward cut away leaving the embroidery
as though worked upon the dress.
Silk muslin, elaborately embroidered
in white, makes an effective garniture for
evening dresses. Exquisite dresses of
white Swiss fairly covered with Breton
lace, are almost indispensable at watering
places. 1t is also used on lawns, muslins,
etc. Ribbon bows mingle prettily with
it.
Buttons play an important part in the
ornamentation of dresses. and are unus-
ually unique in design. Very handsome
tortoise-shell buttons are decorated with
fincly-traced design in gold. Black jet
is relieved with small japanese scene
painted in colors. just at present there
seems to be fancy for oblong buttons.
These are usually of very brilliant pearl,
and are very handsome. Black buttons,
with an oblong pearl center, have much
the same effect on dark dress.
MILLINERY.
The shapes seen now do not differ very
materially from those shown earlier.
From the many shapes first shown have
been selected few which meet the popu-
lar fancy. The large, broad-trimmed hats
which initiate the styles of the first En-
pire, are so universally becoming that
they embrace the paramount styles. Be
fore the hats are trimmed they look very
much alike, but each milliner devises
fancy ways of curling the brm here,
catching it up there and dropping it in
another place, so that the shape is scarce
ly recognizable. Individual fancy is the
only law governing the arrangement OF
the brim. Earlier in the season the IA
vorite facing was shirred satin, now the
preference is given to satin laid in plaits,
which are deepened at the crown to fit
the brim. Some imported hats have per-
fectly plain facings Of satin. A hat just
imported from a celebrated Paris mil
liner is of white Leghorn in the First
Empire shape. The outside is destitute
of any trimming save large bow of pale

blue satin strings tie under the chin.
The felther bow alluded to is one of the
novelties of the season. 1t is made Of
ostrich feathers on ribbon wire, three or
one hon the fna3hers an the lower tier
heinz timed with tinv white class heads
To make the cross piece both TIPS and
case must be turned under, and are usu-
ally glued to a bit of paper.
Large shapes have not displaced others,
for there are those who prefer close cot
tage bonnets, aad these shapes are both
pretty and stylish. Flowers and feathers
are both worn freely.
To some Young ladies' bonnet strings
are both unbecoming and uncomfortable,
and for such Fashion has kindly provi-
ded hats which require no such append
ace. One of these has a broad fiat crown,
and an abruutlv rolling brim, which ad-
mits of no face trimming but shirring
of satin. Around the crown is loosely
twisted a scarf of Pekin grenadine or
Persian silk with a knot at the side, and
the breast of some tropical bird. Breasts
were so much worn in the winter that
they fell for while into disfayor, but
seem to be again revived for this style of
hat. Young ladies of sixteen and seven
teen who are not considered old enough
for bonucts fancy a shane which is some
times called the "Sailor" If has vnry
wide rolling brim and a l,roo so,,,ra
crown. The usual .r,mring Consists Of
scarf knot. oJ ooroia,siy ornnnJ tho
