and they fasten with a strap and small
buckle out Of proportion to the size Of the
belt. Sometimes these come in sets and |
are made Of alligator skin. There will be
q belt of this description, with a chate-
laine bag Of the same, a dog collar, which
buckles at the throat, and a bracelet, with
9 place for a small watch on the upper
portion. There is also a ~portmonnaie Of
the same color and sometimes q cardcase.
A whole set Of this kind costs from $1Oto
$25. &
Nearly every person will wear a chate-
laine bag this fall, even in the house, the
prettiest Of them being made Of small
beads closely woven. Steel, jet, gilt and
colored beads are seen in them, some hav-
ing quite adeep fringe Of the same kind
of beads. Others are made Of richly col
ored plush or velvet, heavily embroidered
with gold. Two oak leaves and acorns
are the favorite style, the acorns being
raised high above the surface. I saw some
where the leaves were in three shades of
gold thread and the acorns in silver. I
think, however, that those made of solid
beading are bound to be much liked, as
they show such a quantity Of patient hand
work, and the steel beaded pouches are very
beautiful and look like frosted silver.
These are woven into various fancy meshes,
through which the bright colored lining
shows. They will hang about IS inches
below the belt, which is much lower than
they have been before for many years.
Naturally there will be many cheaper reti-
cules, some Of them being of the dress
material and trimmed with ribbons, and
perhaps beading, if the material is suitable
for such trimming.

mings a good bit of crochet work over
rings, formed into a sort Of guipure.
These rings are not always round, but
are often in clover leaf, diamond and star
patterns. The crochet work is done over
these in heavy twist and often has a
heavy lace border, which is studded with
beads. In short, human ingenuity has
taxed itself to the utmost this season to
invent something richer and more extrava-
CANT. At any rate, the trimmings are ex-
c%eptionally fine for the coming season.
! saw a very handsome gown for after
Moons at home, made of mordore taffeta
with bronze brown irregular dots thrown
up over the surface in swivel weave. The
skirt.was cut with a demitrain and fit
ted closely over the hip, but was very full
In the back. The waist was cut to quite
a sharp point in front, and that and the
sleeves were Of the taffeta. There was a
drapery Of old gold crepe de japon on the
waist, ending in epaulets and all Dor.
dered with %crocheted guipure, done in
maize and brown twist. The upper por-
ton of the waist was gathered very full
and was finished off with a dog collar Of
dark brown velvet. 1t made a very artistic
scheme Of color altogether and was exceed
ingly becoming to the rich, dark color Of
the young wcarer.
I have seen two or three new model
gowns with combinations and accessories
of plush, which would appear to indicate
that we are to have a run Of that superb
fabric. Nothing makes a richer back
ground for a handsome silk than plush,
and it can also be used on certain woolens,
such as cashmere, cancels hair and such
