WHAT WOMEN WEAR.


Applique embroideries in black and light
colored silks supply very effective adornmeHt
One specimen combining pink, blue and green
in the very palest of tones Is luminous with
silver spanGlcs-aa innovation in this style Of
trimming These enbroideries are invariably
opcn-patterncd and arc applicable to any of the
evening fabrics in vogue.
An intcrcs;iI.c, Paquin novelty is zibeline
in all the popular hues, with a border consist
ing Of deep, way upright stripes, which arc
black in every instance, and produce the effect
of spiral braid decoration. In the skirt the
decoration serves Is border, and in the waist
the stripes appear in horizontal rows.
Trap dete robes are new. They are pro-
vided with wide embroidery IN a very open
pattern narrow embroidery to match being
used for trimming. In a robe Of tan drop d'ete
gold cloth appl.Gues are detail OF the en-
brodcry, enhancing the richness of the fabric
Plain drop dete deserves the high rank which
it has SO readily attained. Though On all
wool material, it has a silky lustrc and adapis
itself readily to prevailing modes.
Tapalinc is its next of kin, though its weave
IS rather suggestive of corkscrew, while drop
Get5 shows twill. Another point of differ
cnce ,etwcen drop dee and tapaline is the
dull surface distinguishing the latter. which,
however, makes up with quite as much grace
as the former.
Velvet ribbon Is gaining in popularity as q
trimming. Upon skirts it is preferably used
III graduated widths, the narrowcst being of
pencil width. 4 novcl and effective DISPOSE

! encirclcd by il. waist suitable for such
| decoration should be made with q smooth back,
| loose fronts and leg-o'-mutton sleeves
| Fish-net canvas or crochet cloth-the very
! opcn-meshed wool goods now in voguc-is
novelty of unquestionably good style. Paris
couturieres prefer velvet as a lining for this
material, It's effect being richly enhanced by
such background.
Brown velvet is disposed in soft folds on the
crown of a brown felt walking hat the edge
; being bound with velvet. At each side is a
large chou of soft velvet from which rises a
| black wing spread fan-wise. A similar wing
is fixed at the outside of the brim, partially
overlapping the first wing. The arrangement
! is novel and effective. Such a hat could be
successfully worn only By tall woman with
| a rather full face.
| Grcen-and-blue arc united in the trimming
| of another walking-hat of blue felt the brim
| of which is bound with blue velvet. In front Is

which stands black wing. Upon the back
of the crown are placed two upright loops OF

black velvet. Under the brim, which is turned
up to accommodate the decoration, arc three
small ribbon loops between two tufts of shaded
green velvet roses.-From The Delineator.
