quarters or melOn-shape, corded with
gold and finished with silken tasseI.
SMALL checked silks are made up in
many fanciful styles, and always in COM
blnation with other fabrics, plain nner-
ve1lleus being the usual choice. A skirt
OF dark royal blue and white checked
silk is covered with wide plated
| fiounces, each headed with a narrow
plating of royal blue ssurah. The cor

of ribbon has been added. Upon some
|, of the most fashionable costumes are
used ribbons by the dozen yards upon
the skirt alone; and corsages and wraps
are frequently covered with loops Of rib
bon, mingled with waves of lace.
