The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1886-09-29

A novel bonnet is made of gray vel
vet, of the shade resembling an cic-
plants fur; the crown is covered with
silver braid, gradually shading off to tic
same coloring as the velvet; the front
stands up very high, and, IS decorated
with large bunch Of pink azaLeas,
strings Of tulle the same shade IS The
| flowers.
A stylish bonnet is made of black
beaded tulic, with vcry high coronct;
in front nigh bow OF red velvet, with 4
large bunch Of rcd and black cherries
and foliage falling over it; beaded tuLlc
strings, fastened with handsome lctpln.
Steel, gold and black beads are fash
ionable in fringes as well as embroidery;
gold beads especially arc Ill favor for
dresses and small vestments. One OF
these, of gray cloth, has the collar COW
cred with fringe Of fine gold beads;
and the whole OF the plastron IS covered
with gold-bead fringe. Bead embroidery
is used for everything, the plain and
colored beads both being used, tie effect
in many and in fact most cases berg
gorgeous Passcmenterie corselst is are
to be feature Of the coming season;
these are exqnsitcly beautiful, and cor
respondingly extrayagant in price. Rib
bons form an important part III trim-
ming; bows are used upon everything,
and an entire trimming six inches vide
is made to edge evening and dinner cos
tunes, formed OF very narrow ribbon,
like a bobbin, loop upon loop, making a
thick mass. Rosettes are made OF the
same ribbon, to correspond.
DRESS TRrM1SGs.
Bands of etamine, embroidered III
cross-stitch with silk, are employed IN
trimming matinee and morning dresses
made of surah and forlard; revers col
lars and cuffs are embroidered to CORE
spond with the bands and form very
pl city trimming. Lace OF all kinds IS
extensively used for trimming. Lace
embroidered with gold bullion IS very
elegant to trim dinner and evening
dresses of black lace, silk or satin. Vel
vets for trimming are strewn with tiny
flowers in bright colors.
Galoons and braids Of all kinds are
the most fashionable trimmings. They
are plain or heavily beaded. Complete
sets of the beaded ornaments are made
to correspond for trimming paL1is, vest,
cuffs and collar. The weight OF some OF
these, If elaborate, is truly appalling.
Natural fir cones, very small, are intro
duced as pendants on jet galoon; golG
is also used with jet. It, however, must
be Of the very finest quality, or it has
common, tawdry appearance. Frnges
of silver-gray seeds mixed with steel
beads and ornaments to correspond are
shown to use upon gray wraps. These !
are new, stylish and very expensive.
Large steel, gold or jet balls are worn On
the ends of ribbon bows.
Suede gloves still continue fasniona-
bic. When viii glace kid gloves return
to favor? Suede is very well Tor morn |
ing wear, but certainly glace kid looks !
better for dressy costumes and evening
wear; but fashion is 4 stern autocrat and
must be obeyed, so 10 change is yet to
be made. The tan color Of the kid is
yet the first choice, but black and varl-
ous shades, matching the costume with
which it is to be worn, are shown for
hose who prefer match to a contrast.
Four-button gloves are the length most .
lsed for general wear. For evening the
ength of the gloves and number Of but
;ons is regulated by the purse of the .
owner. There is a Slight disposition to
Use some Of the pale tints so long dis
,arded, as well as the tan shades. Stitch
ng black and colors is seen on many OF
;he new gloves
