as the true pearls. There was a ribbon
collar band In one place of soft, velvety
dark green. On this, with it's wings out
stretched, was what was fondly supposed to
represent a butterfly made entirely of gar
nets. 1t was about inches from tip to
tip, as the hunters say, and was so ar
ranged that it came directly under the
chin.
One handsome dress of gray and green
velours had gathered vest front of ivory
white silk null. The stock was also Of
the null, draped, and had full bow
around the back portion of it of white
null and green velvet ribbon. The front
of the bodice, vest and all, was nearly COW
cred by an elaborate piece of jeweled pas
senenterie, done in Bohemian garnets.
The effect was most beautiful. Another
bodice, where the princess gown was Of
black grosgrain silk, had the whole upper
part of the front of white silk muslin
shirred, with two narrow ruffles sewed In.
From the arm size there started a sort Of
open corselet made of one mass Of emeralds
and cut jet. This opened down in grace
ful slope to the center of the front. 1t Is
possible to purchase the Nassementerie all
sewed into its form for jacket, corselet or
other set trimming, but the best dress
and arrange it themselves, as they may in
that manner achieve results entirely differ.
emit from anything else. Beaded and Jew
eled passementerie has always been consid-
cred handsome, and there is no diminu-
tion in the demand for 1t. In fact, it is
said that it has never been so much liked,
but that worn now is more remarkable for
It's close, fine work than the size Of the
beads
There Is new and very pleasing trim
ming now shown for handsome gowns Of
plain color. Indeed, it would make plain
dress handsome anyhow. This is white or
very pale tinted japanese Grape, lightly
embroidered in colors, with a fine thread
of gold following each flower all around
like the gold wire wrought in with the
cloisonne work for which the japanese
are so famous. One pattern had convol-
yulus vine trailing along 1t, with tendils
and flowers in their soft natural colors,
though, naturally, much diminished in
size Another had a conventional groen
border, with a row Of gold rings scarcely
larger than pinheads along the edge
Above was a wreath Of white and purple
dower-de-luce, with here and there lance
shaped leaf The whole design was but an
inch wide, but every proportion was per-
feet, and every flower looked as though
Just plucked, but as If seen through the
wrong end of a telescope.
A dress was trimmed with this, and as
/ feel sure the ladies win not be slow to
recognize the exquisite Leauty Of this en-
broidery will tell how it was employed.
The gown was of the new old directoire
green repped silk, almost like velours for
thickness. The bodice was In the plain
gathered French style, with belt Of in
visible green velvet fastening, with an up
right bow. The front was open In vest
shape, showing n shirred vest of ivory Jap
anese Grape. The dog collar was Of the
velvet, with a full rullie of the embroidered
Grape at the top, There were reyers fronts
made of the Grape In iabot form, 10 show
tho wonder Of this fine embroidery, done
sxaotly nike ON both sides. Other rufiles
Of 1t were put on the puffs and at tho
wrists
Speaking Of the embroidered flowers on
this gown reminds me of very dainty
dancing frock for a young girl The whole
gown was OF crepe lisse over white moire,
with a wide girdle sash Of white moire
dbbon, The skirt was plainly -hemmed
