They are also well used on jackets and
capes OF light cloth in conjunction with APP

of trimming which may be simple or RIGA,
according as the satin is of the same shade
as the cloth and the applications unobtru-
sive, or the satin is OF a contrasting shade
and accompanied by much guipure laid
over satin.
Tailor made capes are rather long this
season, and are usually finished by one or
more circular rufiles, so slightly curved
that they are not very full.
The cut shows a girls costume of gray
wool, the skirt being decorated with bands
of cream guipure. The blouse opens over
y pointed guimpe of geranium velvet and
has revers of the velvet with guipure ap-
plications. Tho close sleeves have cuffs

valuable materials for the wardrobe, but
their place is not on outing gowns, and
the elaborate designs for bicycling, yacht

Cut crystal balls are a novelty for ter
minating the handles of parasols. Carved
ivory handles are also revived, and various
designs are seen, animals, birds, etc, be-
ing favorites. Perhaps the newest pattern
is the three plumed crest of the Prince of
Wales.
Embroidered black net is used for many
charming costumes this season over white,
black or colored silk.
Now Is the time 20 utilize rich old lace
which has become too much worn to be
beautiful as it is, but retains fits bold pat
tern intact, although the mesh has been
broken away. The lace may be applied to
cloth or satin and the design embroidered
down with silk or beads, the remnants of
the mesh being afterward cut out, leaving
the design incrusted on the material.
This forms very fashionable and effective
trimming, and is used for revers, cuffs,
yokes and collars.

ing as lining for jackets of the former.
Jackets of various bright tones Of red are
much worn in Paris for morning walks,
but they necessitate great care in the
choice of the gown and hat with which
they are worn. With jacket of vivid color
it is best to keep the gown dull and sim
pie so that the jacket may be the decorative
touch of the costume. The hat may be
black or may match either the jacket or
the gown, but there should be no OppOsi-
ton of bright colors, as the charm Of the
costume is then entirely lost.
Many elegant corsages, blouses of span
gled lace or heavy guipure are adorned
with large peoples of tulle or silk gauze.
These peoples are made of frills of the
material, gathered very tight to form a
rosette, the heart being composed of an
immense cabochon or a jet motif.
