rule, instead of the combination Of two
materials in one dress. These trim.
mings consist of q separate and single

or on both. corner pieces that extend

ing a very large square like border.
Tapestry coloring and designs are
woven in the new scarfs that are
placed down the middle Of the skirt,
great lowered breadth being seen
there as II beneath the plain wool
sides that appear to open upon It.
Leaves, grasses. fruit, catkins and
conventionalized flowers of large size
are on red or black grounds of some OF
these scarfs, while others have q dark
blue or grayish green ground; band
of sage green smoothly woven then
surrounds the lowered stripe, and
there are narrow stripes near the
selvage for trimming the bodice and

and some of these have a wide plush
stripe down each side of the lowered
panel.
Still more elegant scarfs have Dor
der Of velours. with the design of Aow-
ers and leaves of black velvet of thick
heavy pile on colored grounds of pam
~ and peach shades, or copper-color,
green. reddish brown, very dark blue,
and the rust-color which is named in
honor of the Eiffel Tower. These
black figured trimmings are very
largely imported, and show clearly,
even at this early date. that it will be
ssfe to employ black trimmings on
colored winter dresses very much in
the way used last year. Both cut and
uncut velvets are seen in these black
designs, one pretty pattern being of
black ostrich feathers on panels OF
copper brown. dull green. Eiffel rouge.
or Of silver gray wool. Mohair is also
used In very effective way for black
figures. leaves. pines. points and pyra-
mids standing upward from the sel-
wage, and in Roman vases and Egyptian
hieroglyphics on dull red. green ard
rust brown woods, that form excelle mt
backgrounds for the lustrous black de-
signs. Another way in which bhtck
mohair is used is in woven imitati ons
of braid. either in straight rows like
wide Hercules braid. or else in m.tri-
cate designs Of narrow lines, like SOU
tache. There are also tabliers or side
panels of branching.watered lines, like
ripples, woven in black on grounds to
match the camers hair of the. gown,
and small figured piece is added for
the plastren or vest.
A novelty for the coming season is
ladies' cloth (the smoothly woven
faced cloth used by tailors). with
woven borders of stripes along the
selvage, and in these the fancy for
black is also shown, two black stripes
--one four inches broad, the other
only two inches-being a stylish Dor
der for green, blue and rustic olored
cloths.-Harper's Bazaar.
