New YoRK, May 19.-The popularity
OF coffee cream, tan or gray shades,
renders u continued employment Of
black trimmings almost necessity, be-
cause forming an admirable contrast
and also rendering these pale costumes
available to large class of persons who
| otherwise could not wear them. Black
passementerie is fashionable as ever and
comes in all widths; that designed for
the bottom Of skirts being in straight,
close patterns and sometimes very wide.
Trimmings upon the lower edge of
skirts are an especial feature of the time
and in them there Is considerable variety.
! Two RULES are very frequent and may
be OF the material, of plain silk on a
fancy pattern, of lace or chiffon, the
former sometimes placed over plain
hounce. Two narrow lace ruffles arc in
great vogue, but wide lace in a single
hounce is so essentially elegant as to
command its use, the more SO as it har-
monies with basque skirtings Of the
| same, while lace sleeves pulled over
| plain ones of the material give dressy
| look to corsages and match rufiles about
the neck. These lace trimmings are
| certainly in best taste when placed on
plain material, but they are frequently
employed on figured challies or silks
with not such good result.
