Have it tucked across diagonalIy and fas-

The sleeves should have epaulets finely

rutfias. Half OF the bodice is com posed of
the tucks applied diagonally and The
other half of the ruffles, all of which are
iace-edged. The seeves are covered la

graduated sizes, 10 be carried down the
front of bodices. They are being made in
rhinestones, IN paste and IN gold, the gold
being set with various precious stones.
Many of these buttonholes are said to
somewhat resemble the old-fashioned
drop-earrings, only they are placed horl-
zontally instead OF perpendicularly.
Those composed OF amethysts and steel
or Of steel and diamonds are in reality
copied from an old model in sort OF
lozenge shape and are much admired.
Many OF the buckles that are being
shown as holiday gifts are mounted with
plain gold wire, others in antique silver
are either square or lozenge-shape, show
ing large bosses in emeralds or amethysts
As yet | have seen none of the new belt
