Rubber and horn for bracelets are like
ly to be dethroned by white kid, hand
painted and mounted with strips of gold.
Light-colored cloths are preferred for

ing by having darker plush or velvet

A recent importation of cisele velvet
has the design of dark Burgundy red

duchessse satin ground.
Cordurette is the name of the new

The fashion of shirring is increasing in
favor. The fronts of dresses, tabliers,
and the fronts of basques are entirely
shirred. The fashion is particularly et-
fective with satin, on account of its CLOS
sy luster.
Black Brussels net beaded with jet in
foliage designs and in stripes, also in pas
sementerie patterns, is largely imported
for trimming black silk dresses, while
for evening dresses the same designs are
repeated on white net with white jet
and iridescent opal beads.
Some persons do not know the differ
ence between cisele and brocaded velvet
As there is a great difference between
the two, il may be worth while to ex-
, plain that in the cisele the figure is
formed in the pile and stands out in relief
3 from the satin background. In the bro
cade, on the contrary, the velvet pile is
in the ground and the figures are satin.
