FRILLS AND FLUFFS.

The designs are checks, stripes and small
plaids, suggested rather than well defined
ALI these rough goods may be chosen with

The arrangement Of many long black
plumes On black velvet Gainsborough hav-
ing medium wide brim is novel and effective
A satin cord finishes the edge of the brim and
about it at the right side is laid a plume with
the tip falling at the back. Upon the left
side plume is disposed so that the tip falls
just over the brim in front Three upright
plumes are adjusted at the left side and at the
center OF the front and back are great rosette
bows of black moire taffetta ribbon.
a very high bell crown is associated with
a brim OF medium width in another black
Gainsborough hat. The crown is overlaid
with milliners' folds of satin, and the brim,
which curves ever so slightly at the sides, is
smoothly covered with velvet and edged with
thick satin cord. At the left side is the
usual trio OF plumes and at the right a small
plume is arranged to fall over the brim. A
satin rosette at the back completes very
dressy hat, suitable for wear with either a
black or colored gown.
Turkish lace is cream lace-net heavy and
open-patterned and interviewer with gold
threads. Over new gold cloth, like lumin-
ous film, this net is most effective.
Pink and gray are In harmonious union
upon black velvet-covered hat in which the
crown is round and rather low and the brim
severely straight. At the front and sides
black MORE ribbon is wTnkled upon the brim
close to the crown and at the back seven
oearl-gray tips are massed against the crown.
towering above it. The brim at the back is
turned up and against it are banked pink
roses.
For the wrists of long -sleeved bodices and
Tor neck and other flowing decorations lierre
lace and a Brussels net about four inches deep
with an inch-wide edge of fine point Venise
lace are popular.
Unbounded admiration is expressed for
black worsted and silk braids and passemen-
ieries. Among the former are plain and
fancy varieties and among the latter are both
simple and intricate devices, the scroll being
the keynote upon which variations are based.
These trimmings are the exclusive choice for
ourdoor gowns. upon which they are extrava-
gantly used.
Flat braid is applied In three or five en-
circing rows upon skirts and sometimes i'm
mediately above each row is coiled soutache
braid. A narrow soutache braid woven in q
clover-leaf pattern is frequently used upon a
skirt in straight, horizontal lines in q success
sion of zigzag rows at the bottom or about a
quarter of q yard up from the edge, in longi-
tudinal lines over the gore seams or in simu-
lation of tablier, the effect produced being
that OF braiding.
Broadcloths have never been more highly
esteemed than at present and they are as often
developed by fanciful as by severe modes. In
the latter case they are frequently made up in
combination Tattersal vestings, which arc
checked, dotted and striped One of the
checked varieties has blue ground marked
with black and white blocks; green ground
il scattered with yellow dots, and another
green Is lined with red and brown. These
vestings are considered very smart. They
nay also be associated with Venetian cloths
