Costumes.
There is no material so rich OF so IN
expensive, in any fashionable color or
black, In texture heavy, medium, or d.
aphanous, for which an appropriate
trimming can not be selected this sea-
con; and dress without garniture, be
It only fine silk or mohair cord az q
finish for the edges, is an anomaly In
fact, many of the handsome costumes
In solid colored goods owe their effect
iveness to the judicious selection and
arrangement of the garniture. ITS
the seasonin' as does it." as in Sam
Weller's historic ''weal pie"
Some of the most elegant garnitures
are gorgeous, but not gaudy-brave
with EN- broidery and lace and tinsel and
Jewels and pearl leads and jet and
spangles, but unless used inappropri-
ately and to excess. they will not be
bizarre in effect. These are intended
only for elegant fabrics, and the style
of the toilet decides the arrangement
and the quantity to be used
The brilliant jeweled effects of last
season are modified by the use of pearl
beads in all colors in com bination with
the Jewels, and some of the newest
pearl beads in soft shades, which in the
popular floral designs copy natures
tints. The combination of these mat
beads with embroidery is especially eff
fective, and the less elaborate designs
are appropriate for quite simple dresses.
AS in military, spangles are conspicu-
GUS in dress trimmings, not only the
bright spangles in gold, silver and
bronze, laid on fatty and separately,
but in all colors, with mat finish that
imparts a soft tone, and arranged in
clusters, the spangles set on edge,
closely together, looking, in some col
ors, like closely trimmed feathers, the
illusion being heightened by their
gently swaying like feathers moved by
a breeze. A floral design in a delicate
heliotrope tint resembles a quilted
artemisia with a center of dull gold.
Jet is perennial in its attractions, and
maintains its well-deserved prestige.
Fine-cut beads are prominent in the
handsome trimmings, combined with
round and oblong faceted beads about
the size of small peas. especially in the
all jet fringes, which come from three
to twenty-seven inches in depth There
are festoon fringes made of strands OF
fine beads, of graduated lengths. fes-
tooned between square or oblong clous,
which, when applied, as to the bottom
of waist give scalloped outline.
| The same design is repeated in mar
rover trimming.
Passementeries of solid jet will divide
| favor with those of cord and Jet, and
| some of the handsomest are of a sort OF
crepe cord, fine-cut jet beads, and
coarse guipure net, which produces the
effect of an applique trimming. Gro
cheted trimmings are also popular,
with and without jet, and in colors as
we'll as black, colored beads being often
used with the latter. Lace effects are
prominent in fine garnitures, the net
used being heavy. often appearing as If
| the different parts of the design were
| Joined with lace stitches. One hand
some trimming is made of fine silk
braid and crepe cord, in which veritable
lace-stitches of heavy twist complete
the scroll-like pattern.
Narrow edges, com nencing at half
an inch in width, in passementerie and
/ silk braid, are in almost endless variety,
| in black and colors. Sometimes both
edges are straight, sometimes only one,
| and again both are irregular in outline,
| in accordance with the purpose for
| which they are to be used. The favor
| tie bow-knot design has developed into
| rosettes and many-looped bows of satin
| and gros-grain baby" ribbon, which
| appear in all classes OF passementeries.
| Narrow twist fringes, somewhat wider
than the Tom Thumb fringe of long
ago, have reappeared, also moss trim
mings about three-fourths of an inch
| wide, with beads through the center
