The Fashionable Wood Again.

The question of what will be the fash
ionable wood of the day has again come to
the front, and member of a leading dec
orative firm, quoted by The Decorator and
Furnisher, tells that highly polished black
walnut is once more to be in style, not,
as formerly, for everyday articles of trade
work-the drain in that direction has
been too severe in the past decade to allow
of this-but for strictly high class work.
Persons who have been trying vainly to
get rid of the black walnut furniture and
replace it with mahogany or other high
grade woods may content themselves with
the thought that their belongings will
soon be right up to date. And thu the
world wags on. What is Sin" today is
"out' tomorrow, and if you would be up
to the fin de steele hang on to your old
furniture when it has gone "out," for in
this erratic era of fashionable fads and
fancies it is only question of time when
it will come Sin" again.

FESTIVAL WEAR.
Gowns For Dress Occasions-Spangled Lace
and Passementerie.

anu IdSSeUlenteTles
Trimmings are this winter infinitely
varied, although spangles and all jeweled
and metal effects are in the van of popular
favor. Embroideries, both plain and
beaded; rich passementeries, many of them
combined with fur; renaissance and Vene-
tian embroideries; lace, particularly SPAN
gled lace-all these are quite a Ia mode
and plainness, as it was understood few
years ago, is "a thing forgotten. Spangled
lace and spangled passementerie are used
for costumes of highest ceremony and are
considered to give toilet what the French
call "cachet," and which is n thing i'm
possible to be rendered adequately in
English words. "Style" is vulgar and
commonplace and Fashion" does not
convey the exact meaning Since France
sets the example in dress, it may well
claim to possess the only proper words for
describing Its best effects. Whatever preju-
