and "a ,'...iI head is threaded in to make
them hu,i An inroTlaced ring or chain
pattern is very effective. The Greek key
design Is oft,n seen. but Persian designs
are rather ol;ancr produced. Some of the
white or light silk muslin gowns for
young ladies for full dress are simply
studded with them. There are silver and
gold, jet and copper and others represent
ing enameled colors blue, green, red and
amethyst. They certainly add brightness
to the costume, and when costumes shall
have tempered the sight of them little
we shall doubtless consider them just the
prettiest things in the world. The use of
them on velvet however, is ineXcusable
and cheapens it. Silks-that is, those
silks of good, solid body-do not look well
spangled, while satins do.
A pretty evening dress for a dobutante
was of white net with silk embroidered
edge to the skirt and sleeves. The under
dress was of white taffeta glacee, and the
whole of the net was sewed with silver
spangles and cut steel bead in the center
of each. The whole was trimmed with
rich silvery white ribbon. The gloves
were Of faint pink, for this season white
gloves are worn by none but brides.
A rich brown MORE gown was trimmed
very effectively by spangles. The skirt
was plain and demitrain. There was q
velvet belt but the whole of the corsage
was of maize silk muslin plisse, with tiny
flowers arranged with the different cOlored
spangles Down the two front seams there
were bands made by spangles of copper
and gold, ending in fancy tassels. Down
the center of the waist and across the
shoulders there were similar ones. These
were wrought on ribbon first. Yokes made
of light material and spangled are very
taking when stretched over contrasting
color, and this is often seen.
1 notice among the newest spring and
summer goods the always pretty nuns
yelling in all the newest colors. do not
remember to have ever seen it in Currant,
gooseberry, aubegins or any of the rich
browns until now. 1t surprised mo to see
how rich an appearance could be produced
by that simple material when shown in
these rich colorings. Nuns yelling is one
of the few stuffs that take the perforated
embroideries we'll, and many patterns are
SEEN White beige is a new goods, prin-
cipally seen in combination with some
bright under color through which the per
forated pattern allows it to flash its bril-
liancy. Many young ladies affect white
wool gowns, and they are very refined and
vastly more elegant than snowy oolors,
and they kee' clean quite as long as do
the Others / recollect one that took my
fancy very mach. The skirt was plain in
front and drawn to a small bunch of gath
ers in the bn k, where there was a rosette
of cream white satin ribbon. The waist
was plain French one but there was a
yoke shaped collar outlined with thick
gold soutache braid The sleeves were
medium sized gigots, and there was a
white silk null stock. with the usual COM
plement of rosettes and loops.
The crepons are more varied, If possible,
than ever, though the Command for the fin
est ribs and crinkles is still unabated One
