times these vests are covered with tut e
or French Grape the same color as the

The prevailing fashion of diversity is
visible in some of the lace-covered
parasols. Some OF them have two of
the cores covered with shirred-fgured
piece net, while the rest have fr.lls of
lace put on very full.
Clasps are in a variety of design.
Horses and dogs heads, carved of

heads, en- profile, in high relief, are
some of the many sorts shown.

The fashionable style of hairdressing

The hair is raised from the nape of the
neck and forms large curl on either
side of the head into which comb with
gold, silver Or jet balls is set sideways
or straight, according to fancy.
Fan overdresses pla ted to the belt at
the top are the favorite styles for light
woolens and summer silks. These are
in different lengths. sometimes extend
ing to the bottom of the dress. Others
are short and edged with lace. while
the underskirts have lace frills headed
with wide beaded galloon. The back
draperes are full and straight.
Tr innings were never in greater va
riety than now. Lace, galloon, tinsel
and beads are used in every imaginable
combination. In beads the entire gamut
is represented, from the dull lead of
those so like gun-shot as to be mistaken
for it, to the sheen of iridescent beads,
gold, silver steel and copper contrib
uting their share to the general bril-
liancy. Medieval and Oriental designs
are especially adapted to bead embro d.
erv. and it is a matter for congratula-
ton that beaded flowers are giving
way to conventionaliZed forms. that
are so effective in this STYLE of adorn-
ment. Clasps have come into SO gen
eral use that buttons seem to have lost
somewhat of their prestige, and those
now employed are of unique design. -
