ans thick wool completely covered with
horizontal or perpendicular brsiding
This 10 often put on in the Greek key
pattern and still oftener half an inch or
less or more apart, according TO the
width of the braid. The same distance
as the width Of the braid is generally
left uncovered. but in case Of wide
braids they are sewed close together
This braided cloth is cut and made up
int skirts, coats and blouses, also
eapes, as il the braidins upon it made
enc part with the cloth.
These lavishly braided costumes are
very fashionable and the horse show has
set the stamp Of high style upon them,
With braided skirts one finds, besides
the braided blouses, blouses made Of fine
furs, suoh as seal astrakhan and sable.
Thess naturally are beyond the reach Of
most Of us.
Some of the newest hats are quite
modest and very different from those
first offered. Flat felt brims seem TO
have the preference, though these are
often tilted up or down little accord
ing 10 the face beneath. Nearly all have
soft made crowns. Drsperiss Of velvet,
plush, far and ribbon are all seen, and
no end of jewsled or cut steel buckles.
Some have no feathers, while others are
covered. The three plumss, each falling
in different direction, seem to please
nearly everybody. Flower -de-luos and
large pansiss, also violets, made of velvet
are among the decorations. A few roses
are worn, few velvet carnations and

most striking. The majority of them
are Of large dimensions, with monstrous
plumes tipping this way and that as if

toques and trimmings to the hats. Co.

ed, and plating of felt is made to stand
up all around. In such case a folding
of velvet or plush reaches around the
front, upholding the thick velvet loops
that stand up high and stiff at the back.
The caps to the sleeves and basque had
stiff feather boning to make them look
almost rigid.
A new idea in skirts is sprung

In some cases the fiounce reaches around
the back breadths, only leaving the front

colors has been made into attire fol

to wear high neoked gowns. One OF

bound with chinchilla fur on the sleeves,
