BEETLE-sTUDDED NETS.
Made Exclusively by the Women of
the Egyptian Harens.

The briiliancy OF dinners and dances
this winter will be greatly accentuated
by the Introduction of novel fabric,
which has attracted the eye, and sue
cumbed to the purse of ultra-fashion-
able women that have been travelling
in Egypt. The material will be used
mostly for ball gowns. 1t is white and
similar in texture to soft Brussels net,
The feature about it, however. is that

parts of beetles backs, that are sewed

be said to vie with the opal in coloring
and to sparkle like the diamond.

this material; it would be too startling

One of the women that boasts the pos
session of the fabric insists that she
prizes it too highly to hack II out in a
ball gown; for the weight of the beetles
backs on the delicate net makes it very
perishabie. Her beautiful square will be
used as table covering at formal din
ner parties. II will be spread over white
satin and finished with an exquisite
broad gold lace. No silver or glass orna-
, ments will be used with this covering;
only the softest pink or yellow roses will
droop upon it to complete the decora-
ton.
An immense amount of dexterity is re-
quired to be able to purchase this stuff
in Egypt; as II is made exclusively by the
women in the harems, and in very small
