TRIMMINGS = MILLINERY NOTES AND
ANSWERS.
The prominence Of tan or coffee
cream shades, has caused a prolonged
use Of black trimmings. They not only
make an excellent show on such pale
back grounds. but by means of them,
many women can wear those stylish
eolors that otherwise would or should
be impossibilities. Bands around the
bottom of skirts, extending all the way
or partially. are in great favor and
while elegant ones are of broad pssse-
menterie in close patterns, yet the ma

is an exception to the rule against plain
weave in millinery and some of the
most elegant hats which even now are
being sold against the summer resort
season, are in this style. The majority
are trimmed elegantly by broad ribbon
loops and flowers that conceal the low
crowns and catch the brims at the back
and more or less at the sides, but
striking example shows a wide, soft
brim puckered iu the embrace of three
large stems that quite encircle it and
from which extends spray of roses. A
crownless bat is begun by small circle
of several very large knotty and thorny
stems that are the prelude to a crescent
shaped brim of pulled chiffon which
forms the support to beautiful spray
of small flowers and bright berries, and
third unique example has the frame
work wholly composed of large stems,
the outer one forming an extended cir
Gle with inner ones interlacing at wide
intervals. A dash of white lace on one
side, seems to have fallen accidentally
into position and completion is afforded
by four wide open ro1es Such hats of
course come under the head of expens-

cotton fabrics are trimmed with linen
lace or open work embroidery. Russian
applique bands in cream color and briar
stitched gimps as well, are also en-
ployed in finish.
Petticoats of taffeta silk trimmed with
ruffles are in style because the long
skirts require to be lifted. Taffeta silk
