In Trouserettes.

For some time past Mrs. B. o. Flower,
wife of the editor of the Arena of Boston,
DR.. Emily Bruce of Chelsea and Mrs.
Laura Lee. prominent portrait-painter
of Boston, have been agitating dress reform
for women. The subject was one that was
discussed at length at the Congress of
Women recently held in New York and
there were many who EXPRESSED them
selves in favor of some style of garment
that would give woman more freedom than
she has now in following the FASH, of
wearing heavy skirts. A woman reporter
for the New York World tried The reform
dress for week and, in describing her ex-
periences. wrote:
I have spent week in a dress-reform
costume, divided skirt, q cOrsetless waist

Newest in Trimmings.

A long range of new trimmings have
frnges formed of lunches of spear heads
of jet clustered together, and some Of the
drops are shared like fans, larger than
spear heads. Tassels of these play an all
lmpO rtant part and deep fringes are used.
The trimmings, which follow the idea OF
the circular cuttings. are sometimes Gro
cheIed with cord and jet. Metre ribbons
and gallons are a dominant idea, these
being often worked IN design, with sequms
or smaller paillettes. Some of the wider
makes of such ribbons have fringes fall
ing from the edge. An extremely pretty
novelty is light make Of lace worked all
over with jet, plated with a narrow
jet gallon down the center. ready for
trimming capes and manles. Occasionally
leaves of jet are laid on the plats of lace.
Sometimes there is only one row with jet
beading, but often the lace is joined down
the center and covered with jet, the Orna-
mental border of the lace showing at each
edge. Then, again, this class of trimming
is diversified with deep fringes and deep
vandykes of jet.
The round cut frills of net vary in width
according TO the purpose for which they
are needed and are worked all over with
pailettes, or often with iridescent green
green aud black being the height of the
fashion. They are also often fringed at
the edges.
