cover waists and form overskirts to
gowns, and cloaks will be fairly hidden
under it. There is no limit to Its posi-
bilities. Jet fringe will be seen at the bot
tom Of the skirts of coats and cloaks, and
on velvet and MORE pelisses there will be
sewed direct millions of fine, cut jet beads,
wrought In rich floral designs or ara
besques. This trimming is at once the
richest and most durable of all the trim
mings.
I have seen some laces where every scroll
and leaf in the pattern is outlined with
beads SO small that it Is a wonder how a
needle rs found fine enough to pass
through them. These laces will be lavish
~ employed to trim rich black and dark
silks and velvets and other handsome ma
terials. Fine lines of jet passementerie
will be used to head founces and work out
designs on fine tailor suits and other street
gowns, but these lines must be very mar
row and Of the finest beads. Some gowns,
however, will have rows, festoons and pat
terms wrought by large beads. I saw an
imported dress of old rose cloth, intended
for a bridesmaid. There was a sprung
founce all aroun the skirt, reaching up to
quite a high point on the left side, headed
by a row of half inch jet beads. The waist

OF beaded passementerie. On the bust was
a row of the same, somewhat wider, and
separating the lower part from the upper,
which was laid in plaits. The double
pulled sleeves were plain on the shoulder,
but the forearm was nearly covered with
the passementerie.
This style o. trimming is not confined
altogether to jet beads, for a wedding
dress just brought over for a bride shows
the upper portion Of the waist and sleeves
to he almost entirely Of a passementerie,
with silver beads. The rest of the gown is
plain, save for the deep plaits in the skirt,
yet it Is superbly rich on account of the
novel garniture.
l know another young lady who is to be
married in a few days and sail for Europe
Immediately after the ceremony. She will
be attended by her two sisters, and the
dresses for this quiet wedding are pretty
enough to make interesting reading, and
80 l will try to describe them. The
brides gown wa imported; the others
were made here. The bride will wear tan
colored ladies' cloth made with a slight
draping on each hip, so that the folds fall
forward, breaking the rightly. On each
Sid is a rever let into the skirt and but
toned back and edged with coarse tailor
stitching. In the back it falls in heavy
duted plaits. The basque waist is cut with
2 short but very full sprung frill and is
finished down the front by a postiche ar
xangement-that is, revers, collar and
vest combined. It is buttoned to the waist
and is made Of oyster white billiard cloth.
The upper sleeves are pulled and Of tan,
and the lower ones are of oyster white.
The little touches, like the dog collar
turned down over two scallops of the
white, finish it to perfection. The young
lady in question is extremely slender, and
the arrangement of the corsage and skirt
drapery gives her ample proportions.
The youngest sister will wear q simple
gown of dotted crepon, white and lilac,
with bretelles, belt and fots Of wide MORE
ribbon showing two or three heliotrope
shades. The quaint hat is a neapolitan
straw, notched on the edge and quilted all
around the apology for a crown, where
there is a crush of the dress material and
two shaded upright tips. The eldest sister
has a gcay faille gown, with a row of van
