The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1886-05-05

Jetted, transparent tissues were a novelty
last season; they are now extended to colored
beaded transparencies. By this is not meant
be aiding upon lace, but fine beaded netting
and open work. in upright leaves and ladder
like forms which show nothing but tue
bead work and the lining beneath (if there is
any. There are bonnets and even small
carriage paraSOls composed wholly of these
beaded transparencies, which are more novel
IN appearance and more effective. when IN

seined, because the colofs are dark or well
blended.
A small capote bonnet of this description,
corresponding to a moderate quantity of
trimming upon the dress, would not be out
OF place or inelegant, quite otherwise. One
can imagine nothing more charming than
white silk and embroidered crepe dress, with
pearl trimming; small mantle, high on the
shoulder and pointed, of crepe, studded with
pearls and bordered with falls of deep Mech
lin lace: transparent pearl bonnet and par
asol matching the mantle. This costume,
made short, is that of a bride to be- early ia
the coming month of June; and falrer the
sun will never shine upon.
THE DEPRESSED EMBRoIDERIEs
do not refer to any condition of the market.
but to the newest dress in decorative work
for costumes; especially costumes made OF
wool, and 'complet" for walking of travel
ing. Last year, embroidery applique was the
novelty, and considered very effective. 1t
consisted of designs cut out of velvet or
plush, and embroidered on an outline, in
beaded or embroidery stitch and often
veined in stitches and colOrs that made a
very effective, though not expensive, display
of ornamentation. The new method is quite
different from this. Upon or over, the foun-
dailon material, which may be gray cloth,
another material, say green cloth, is
sire tched. From the upper, or outside cloth
THAT is, the green the design is cut away,
leaving the gray exposed. This gray part is
embroidered in beads and metallic cord, and
outlined in such way, as to fasten down
the edge of the green cloth and conceal it.
Oxidized silver and gray chenille embroider
well upon gray in conjunction with green,
arranged as vest or pointed collar ana panel
for skirt, and panel for the upright crown of
the bonnet.
Harpers Bazaar says
DRAPEEIEs
will be worn both long and short. Dresses
made of one fabric without embroidery will
repeat the long tabliers, the wide pieats like
panels on the side, and the full back breadths
that hang straight and are gathered across
very small space at the belt. When en-
broideries are used with scalloped edges,
shorter draperes will prevail a. tha draper
les are then made of plain goods caught back
TO disclose the embroidery which forms the
lower skirt or else the embroidered hOunCes
that may be arranged upon it in gathered
cross rows, or put on plain in lengthwise
bands. Deep aprons and short wrinkled
aprons caught up alike on each side will be
worn again, as they alwaya are becoming IN
thin fabrics. They will be held UP by small
buttons and loops that make easy work for
the laundress, as they can be ironed IN straight
breadths, or else they will be caught up
by large velvet bow on the right side, while
a velvet sash rit bon on the left will consist
of long loops and ends. Velvet bretelleS,
a hign velvet dog collar and cuffs, velvet
straps across full guimpes or blouse vests,
and velvet sashes will enrich wash dresses
that are otherwise of very simple fabrics.
Tucks will also be used again, both horizon
tally and lengthwise and pleated skirts, or
those simply hemmed, will be preferred TO
skirts trimmed with hounces unless the
iiOuDces are embroidered. Indeed, many OF
newest embroidered robes have merely lines
or stripes of embroidery across or down the
skirt, instead of the scalloped edges that sug-
gest being gathered into tiOunces. These EN-
oroidered stripes are also down the sleeves
and on the corsage in V-shape, or like rows
of insertion across pointed plastrOn, and
they form the high standing collar and mar
row cuffs
