dresses of rich materials. Many OF
these shoulder trimmings are so elabor.
ate as to be really disfguring. Large
palms and scrolls made of silk cord and
beads often form the cpaulettes. Mum.
bcrless rows of beads, each string a
little longer than the one above it. are
also seen, and sometimes cockade bows
made of picot satin ribbon. some what in
the shape OF butterflies were worn upon

themselves upon her shoulders in regn-

Velvet and plush by the.yard will re-
main in h Oh favor as accessories to au-

designed for young and old. For the
latter are fancy wraps made often of
three different materials, and lavishly
decorated. For elderly ladies are
