colorings. The body of the stuff is black,
white or pale ivory. One white ground
had small crimson berries scattered rather
sparingly over it, each berry having tiny
green stem with two green leaves. The
same design was wrought on black, but
was not so pretty. All sorts of small,
bright colored flowers were worked on
other pieces. Some of Them had fanciful
figures in shape of diamonds, hearts and
rhomboids, done In floss of two or three
colors In with black or white. The pat
tern is narrow and the space inside open,
so that, given the delicate material on
which it is worked, it Ia very light and
fluffy. The lower edge ~ scalloped and
generally has the floral design worked
little closer there.
One pattern l thought was extremely
dainty The ground was white, the flow
ers all worked In black floss silk. with
here and there in flower or leaf a pin point
Of silver tinsel. There are many fine nets
and tulles with iridescent pearl beads
sewed upon them in clusters to hang
loosely. There are also some with imita-
tion jewels, like rubies emeralds and to-
pazes There are flower patterns done in
soft colored floss silk, with an imitation
opal set in the center. This is very beau
tiful fancy. There arc many "all overs"

bright colored silks, being most effective
over emerald green and deep crimson and
all of the yellows. The nets are mostly

and PIN points, such as Is used for the

The bayadere and other horizontal
stripes in dress materials have arrived,
and while we all dreaded their advent we
must admit that they might be much
worse. Silks are made with borders woven
on In various designs. These borders are
afterward cut off and sewed around the
skirts, sometimes as many as six and sew
en-. The stripes vary in width. In some
cases they are woven in clusters OF three.
A few pieces of silk have regular relays OF
horizontal stripes, each full pattern being
enough for one breadth. The stripes have
TO be sewed in straight breadths, and that
Is one thing which will initiate much
against the designs, for no skirt model
worn now can possibly cut so as to bring
all the stripes even So such stuffs as have
border woven for the purpose will be
much more popular and economical too.

bayadere effects. The body of the stuff Is
