the other the brim.
An immense amount of velvet is en-
ployed for millinery purposes. Nearly all
the new hats and bonnets have more or
less of this material upon them. 1t is pre-
dicted that by next winter plush will be
in vogue again, but its popularity was
never like that of velvet, and it has become
so associated with upholstery of late years
that it scarcely seems like n material for
personal wear in spite of its beauty.

two plaits on each side which are orna-

wide passementerie of jet, and in front is

black silk gauze is worn at the th-oat and
plaitings of black silk gauze are at the

A Stylish Trimming OF White Velvet and
Jet-Plush May Be Fashionable Again.
The use of velvet as a trimming is high
ly approved, collars, cuffs, belts, revcrs,
straps across full fronts and edgings
of velvet at the hem of the skirts be-
ing quite frequently seen. Indeed as a
combination and trimming material it is
preferred to almost all fabrics. There are
also entire costumes of velvet both for out
of door and formal occasions, and tho vel
vet front breadth or full length front is by
no means uncommon, especially in prin-
cess costumes, which are among the NEST
beautiful and artistic of the new designs.
White velvet is being largely employed for
sleeves and reyers studded with jet saquins
or finished with applique of finely cut
jet. 1t is a most effective and stylish trim
ming but rather delicate.

FASHIONABLE CORSAGES.
Light and Becoming Vests Garnish Every
Style of Bodice.

Light and Becoming Vests Garnish Every
Style of Bodice.
The reigning mode permits a great va
riety of close bodies, not only in the Louis
Quinze and tailor styles, but in many 9TH
ers less easily classified. All, or nearly all,
are open or seem to be So and whether the
bodice itself is light or dark the chemisette,
or vest, is light, a most becoming fashion
to the face. White, cream, straw and light
yellow are the favored tints, and some one
of these tones can be worn by each indi-
vidual, blond or brunette, young or old.
With Louis QuinZe and short tailor bodices
may be worn either a plain, close vest,
with fancy buttons and cravat of lace,
little pockets being simulated on the flaps
OF the vest, or vest of soft silk, gathered
at the neck and waist with draped collar
and belt. The gathered silk vest may also
have at the throat an immense silk bow
trimmed with lace, which descends in cas-
cades below the waist.
Women with a taste for markedly mas
euline garments adopt the tailor made
vest, with little reyers over stiff shirt
bosom, and wear a man oravat. This style
is not consi'e really correct except fol
travelling and outing wear. The preferred
chemisettes are of surah or satin merveil-
leux, printed or broche lowered silk, or
