RIBBON VELVET.
Colored ribbon velvet, In white, every
light and every dark shade, is quite a
feature Of this season, and can Be had
from less than an inch wide to several
inches. It runs round the edges of
dresses, usually in three or five rows;
trims Dodices, parasols. hats and bonnets,
and generally expends itself in lavish pro-
fusion. 1t is now often worn around bare
throats in the evening. Small collarets
OF piece velvet, shaped to fit the neck, are
beginning to appear, and one recently
worn was fringed with pearls and headed
with single row of diamonds. Jet core
nets, long discarded, are quite to the fore

GRAY AND YELLOW.
Gray is fashionable color in all its
variety of shades It is often combined
with yellow In an effective manner. A
gown of rich gray and white brocade is
deliberately trimmed with yellow dotted
gauze. The design of the gray brocade is
in thistles and it shows as panel at the
side, the yellow covering it elsewhere and
falling in cascade with the selyedge ex-

were formed into fichu and caught by
