in mohair, worsted and cotton, the latter
white.
Black is the favorite to use on any dress
goods, then navy and brown shades. The
white cotton braids are used on the linen
crash suits etc.
Many buckles and clasps are selling, aud
gold buttons are very much favored, even to

strass, gold, steel and Russian enamel de-
signs.
Three large fancy buttons are very rich
to fasten the high corselet on the side.
The delft buttons are charming, and the
turquoise and amethyst jeweled buttons
are very stylish with fashionable gowns.
The importers have exquisite examples Of
buttons this season.
Marabout effects are formed by lace and
ruches, and beaded passementerie is COM
bined with tiny ruching of chiffon outlin-
ing the figures.

drops edge the many jackets figuring under
the comprehensive name of bolero. White
lace embroidery with gold is selling we'll.
Narrow widths of real mohair galloons
show the hairy threads and are in lacey pat
terrs with straight or fancy edges. These
are the newest trimmings for edging acces,
