away more or less to show them. The
military trimming of braids ON the blue

trefoil and fancy set pieces in mohair
or soutache braids are all lavishly used.
Some coats are really almost covered
with braid either laid ON in straight
rows or wrought in waved lines, check
ers or frogs and loops.
Inc tailor gown is doubly pretty
when made so that white collar and
natty tie can be worn with it. There is
no end to the new designs of the vests.
Wherever little white can give its
christening effect it is added. But the
vests are almost as often made of puff-
ed silk satin, china Grape or even vel
vet as of the stuffish white canvas. On
few one finds not only the military
Topped braids, but fiat buttons, often of
polished brass, put on in breton style.

New ideas are developed in princess
shapes and new fancies in trimming
are added that make them like other
gowns while still retaining the graceful
princess shape. The new braids are
handsome and effective garniture
The new dress fabrics are variously
named. The silk and wool mixtures
come under the head of "fancies' when
in colors. In all woods there are fionas,
cherascos, benallas and moscovietta.
soft and velvetlike venetians and sew
eral varieties of the regular broadcloth
in every color, even watermelon pink
There are livery drab cloths which are
more beautiful than velvet when made
up. Coverts are more handsome and
better liked than ever. An excellent
idea is wrought out i'll the coverts, hav-
ing one side plaid and the other plain.
These are very effective when made so
that the two sides can show, and for
that purpose a few such gowns have
the front breadth loose and draped in
jabot style.
The zibelines and camel's hair stuffs
with the outer hairy surface are very
popular. There are many colors and
qualities in heavy reps, royal ottoman
cloths and silk warp forines. Lenos
with bouretted plaids are among the
most striking of the new stuffs. Black
mohairs and siciliennes and also illumi-
mated silk and wool warps will be much
worn. Black goods are more than hold
ing their own, and black cheviot in the
new weave is better liked than almost
any colors, and it certainly is more ele-
CANT.
Bouretted plaids made on the bias are
handsome gowns and costumes One
has regular tail coat nearly half as
long as the skirt in the back. A bicycle
suit had bourette plaid skirt in
browns and drab. Around the bottom
there was 10 inch band of drab cloth
The jacket was of drab cloth, with la
pels, cuffs and a strap across the back of
the plaid, all bias.
On many of the new cloth gowns
there is braid of different kinds and
widths, so that fanciful and elaborate
pattern is the result. Some have the
regular corselet on the hips One very
handsome gown had the whole skirt
corded at intervals-that is to say, a
row of very hard and narrow bobbin
cord was sewed in, so that it stood up
on the outside. It must have been very
difficult to do. Nearly all the coats and
jackets have very full plaits in the back,
though some of them are pressed flat
Long redingotes i'll regular princess
form are made. They cross in front
with shawl collar of fur, narrowing
to point at the waist. These are of di-
agonal cheviot. Nearly all have ca
