This Is IEmphaticaIly n Season of
Trimmings.
This is a season of trimmings. They
sparkle and shine, and glitter, they
dance and bangle and rattle, they are
gorgeous and grave and gay. Tight
and airy, massive and heavy. Costumes
are created by their trimmings. Often
it is the trimming that gives the stamp
of success or marks the failure OF a
gown.
Fur never has been more popular. Its
combination with gimp and galloon was
one of the surprises of the early au-
tumn. While the combination is taw-
dry. says the New York Times, cOnsid-
cred upon its own merits, the effects
produced through ii are so novel and
often so pictureque that the tawdrlneS
is overlooked. The vari-colored woods,
such as the Russian velours, with their
velvetv SOftneSS and rich shading, seem
specially well trimmed by these tinsel
and fur bands and ruffies.
Quilts, half jet and half feather. are
among the curios, and downy, iridescent
feathers are run through the center OF
black quilts, while black wings are
studded with emeraids. Felt hats have
breast feather borders. A pretty hat
has loops of golden-broWn and moss
green velvet, with double velvet brim
and green feather crown. A small cone
crown hat is all of feathers. A feather
bonnet has a ruffle standing up around
the open crown.
The moss trimmings are in beautiful
variety. Their shading is in perfect &C
cord with the winter WOODS. An entirely
new trimming is made by combining
silk braid with the moss, as band OF
the moss between two rows of braid
Chenille is used with ribbon, worked in
overland stitches through the center
of ruche OF ribbon loops. The ribbon
fringe with paSsementerie-ball finish is
at last taken up. 1t has been in the
back ground of all trimming displays
for year or two, but now it comes &c
the front and is offered in many widths
and cOlors.
A ruffle of white cog feathers, headed
by band of white silk astrakhan, is
one Of the lovelieSt trimmings shown
A ruffle of lridescent cog feathers is
headed by jet gimp. Jet braidS head
festoons of fur. The festOons of jet and
the wide and narrow insertions are eff
fectlve decorations. The latter are used
like ribbons, being tied in loops and

wraps.
Leather trimming comes in wide
basket braids and in passementerie pat.

kid is appliqued on wool robes and
edged with fur. Sailor hats have leather
crowns and perforated leather bands
Leather binding is on gowns and coats
A chic little bonnet has scarlet velvet
gathered like ruche colarette, lifted
at one side by mass of scarlet crushed
roses and topped by fitting crown OF
green feathers. Great Alsacian bows
are made of loops of gold wire bound in
in the center with ropes of jewels
These bows are duplicated in bright
chenille. The tinsel wings are of silver
and gold and vari-tinted tinsel, mingled
with Jet beads. Coo feather aigrettes
are Initiated in gold tinsel, aud coo
feather aigrettes themselves initiate

To wear with it are a collarette and
muff made of the same ingredients.
Purple net, with border of chenille
spots, is the latest of the many appaIl-
ing novelties brought out during the
last two seasons in wells.
Hair ornaments are very rich and
costly. Pins have ballOon-shaped heads
of amber, with facet cutting that gives
the amber a curious effect of being en-
closed in netting. Shell pins and combs
have steel heads. Steel bandeauX have
