A trimming importer. says the New
York journal of Commerce" predicts a
large demand for braids during the early
portion of the fall season, based on the
large demand for p1ain-faced dress goods,
which is conducive to the extensive use
of braids. The demand. however, is not
1ikelv to be of long duration. as silks
and fine dress goods will become popular
for afternoon and evening wear. which
will call forth a demand for garnitures
Of various sorts. also beaded gimps and
! a~pplioues. Black silks, which promise
| to be extensively worn during the fall
and winter. viii bring jet effects largely
into favor, and this in itself ought to
| create a good demand for trimmings
French modistes and costume designers
are employing trimmings in large guam
titles, end the outlook FOR trimmings is
better now than it has been for many
seasons past.

prets characters, but moods. 1t is elo-

~cajoles and threatens with it, by his
manner of wearing it. l once saw a
preacher-and a better man it would be
hard to fnd-put on his hat one day at
an association before he got halfway to
the door. And If he had said ever SO
softly with his eloquent lips what he
yelled with thai hal they would have
cast him out of the synagogue into utter
darkness and condemnation

Trimmings are put on in parallel run
ming stripes of narrow satin ribbon. which
covers the entire body at definite dis
tances. These satin stripes are edged with
either solid or two toned soutache loops
or tiny leaves. Both neck and back and
waist-line are garnished with ribbon bows.
Another traverse embroidery is put on
wavy. In this pattern a satin application
alternates with a cloth band or a lot of
loops or narrow braid. Again, open-work
embroidery is underlaid with tuile, etc.
All these embroideries are also utilized
upon round capes.
The sombrero is having quite a vogue
as an outing hat. It usually is of green
felt in the shape of Robin Hoods, turned
UP at the back and down in front, and
dented in the middle of the high crown.
A silk cord and tassel is put around the
hat, and a single long quill completes the
trimming. Outing hats with floating
scarfs are popular still. and the East In
dia helmet of white canvas lined with
green has been adopted by the young
woman who plays golf.
