jabots of lace ten inches deep set on the
sides. No other flower shows as well for
this purpose. Niolcts, however, are more

TUNES have brought out n new stocking,
which is fleece lined. This fleece is woven
in such a way as TO add from one to six
inches to its circumference. In other words
they are padded in the weaving. Some Ia
dies find them necessary, as too slender legs
do not look well and no amount of leg
gings can hide the deficiency. The most
of the bicycle hosiery is black, or very dark
brown. There are golf stockings in bril-
liant plaids, and some advanced ladies talk
of wearing them for bicycling, but good
taste ought to curb such ambition. There
are Roman stripes also, but they are fear
full and wonderful rather than refined.
For the decoration of rich plain goods
there has Just appeared new line of trim
ming, consisting of rich Persian ara
beSques, designed to trim entire costumes.
They come in sets and have yokes, girdles
sleeve and collar trimmings and graduated
bands for the skirt. They show gothic
venetian and VanGvke points, and through
them all run the intricate palm leaf and
arabesuue patterns There are passemen-
for direct application to gowns and wraps
There is a new galloon trimming in the
form of embroidered bands, panels, ETC.,
and also for the marking of chatelaine
bags to match done in ivy vine pattern, or
oak leaves and acornS. These always have

the greens and the acornS in silver. These
are very beautiful. Whole sets adapted to
the requirements of an entire gown are

but some like the white glazed kid. For
ordinary street wear black kid gloves are
much worn. For marketing and many
other occasions Russia leather and channels
gloves in quite dark tints are worn, while
for visiting and drcssy day wear pearl gray
and pale straw color are best liked
Nuns yelling in light colors is much
used just now in the making of dainty tea
jackets. They are lined with thin colored
silk and fancifully trimmed with open
work embroidery and ribbons.
There are some silken and very fine
wooden gowns with enormous Jet butter
flies arranged across the waist so that
they cover the whole front of the cOrsage.
The cOIOreQ SpangleS SCI III inc wings give
them almost n barbarouS splendor. Some
of these curious insects are so large that
the lower wings reach below the belt. An
other dress of black armure had regular
cuirass made of steel spangles, and this
reached about two inches below the waist.
To it hung a fancy chatelaine, in turn Gov
cred with the steel spangles. It represent

those of quiet tastes. There are, however,
