Of cOlored glass beads have found
many admirers, and / notice that
they are being worn with day as well
as evening gowns. The little thin
gold baby chains" with a locket or
miniature pendant are taken out
from among the keepsakes or sup
piled by the jewellers. London fash
ion writers tell us that bracelets are
again worn, and that an English
woman feels that her evening toilet
is incomplete without pair of hand
some bracelets. But bracelets at
their best are unbecoming things
when worn at the wrist, and the
American woman is sensible enough
to follow no fashion but the prettiest
The wearing Of black velvet band
held by jeweled clasp and worn
half way between the elbow and
shoulder is fetching fashion and
one much followed. And another
quaint style is the narrow black vel
vet 'ibbon about the neck, from
which hangs turquOise-set or blue
enAmeled lOcket. The black velvet
makes the white neck and arm look
whittier. Velvet straps over the
shoulder are to be found on any
number of the new, decollete dresses

So much embroidery is being used
that one no longer has difficulty in
! finding a shop that will undertake
to execute it for one. Besides this,
there are pieces ready made that can
be applied and not even the most
skilled detect that the embroidery
was not put stitch for stitch right in
the goods. Plain cloth gowns with
waistcOats covered entirely with en-
| broidery are smart and dresSy.
White brOadclOth with embroidery
done in gold and blue is especially
| popular in the waistcOat line.
Pale primrose and canary yellow
are among the fashionable tints in
winter evening toilets and when
combined with green velvet and
narrow sable bands the effect is most
artistic. The new pink aud wild-rose
shades are very pretty and among
the odd dyes is striking shade of
Opalescent orange. All tiuts of white
will be in vogue from cream and
ivory to pure snow and lily white,
and all shades of helliotrope from the
deepest royal purple to the faintest
| pinkish mauve called orchid.
In dressy toilets all the shades Of
violet and helIiDtrope are conspiru
Gus. Purple looks particularly rich
in velvet, and velvet is the winter
fabric, for entire gowns, or only as d
trimming. A deep plum color IN silk
satin or velvet carries jet trimming
beautifully and is frequently found
in the most exquisite # gowns in
combination with ,pm- soft, fluffy
white material. A pldIn-cOlOred
broadclOth ia. VeoJ and collar Of
white tucked satin.
Tucks are odulv and lavishly used.
Fine ones are run in the heaviest of
cloths and give a corded effect. In
evening dresses one finds them run
in the thlnnest materials. A white
chiffon is run with tucks an inch
and a half wide, running diagOnally
and meeting just at the middle Of
the front width in point. The bod
ice i5 tucked to correspond. OF
COURSE, all Ine CuCkS III Tue ITdnSpd-
rent stutfs are run in by hand. 1t is
the fad, though, Of the moment to
have gowns show a lot of hand work.
! Spangles hold their own, and to APP
ply them artistically is by no means
light task. Entire and elaborate
designs are worked out in spangles.
Lace draperies have their leaf or flo
raj patterns outlined with silver or
gold spangles.
