FRILLS OF FASHION.

toques trimmed with velvet were equally pop
ular for afternoon wear ut the Horse Show.
Sable. chinchilla and baby lamb are the furs
most employed in millinery. The toque made
entirely OF fur has q rosette bow of colored vel
vet at one side or one of mousseline do sole.
with two black ostrich tips. A bunch of velvet
flowers is also very effective. The velvet used
for toques is covered with rows of stitching.
Feather toques are a novelty in Paris. and are
trimmed with shaded wings.
Last seasons fur capes are made very smart
by sloping of the front edges to give the round
shape so much sought after, and sewing q frill
OF chiffon or real lace on tho inside edge.
Ermine capos are especially pretty finished in
this way, and cream lace with sable is always
effective.
One OF the special novelties in silks Is q tat
feta in various pretty bright colors. embroid-
cred in white silk. with golf sticks and balls,
horseshoes or footballs. 1t is a foregone con-
elusion that these arc especially designed tor
shirt waists to be worn in the young girls
kingdom at the various sports.
Black satin cords made-not covered-as a
trimming to be used like braid are very effec-
tive in patterns or sewn on in straight rows
quite close together. White satin cords are
especially pretty sewn on white tulle and net
for Jokes. collars and vests.
II you want to use some real lace which has
been slowed away in the treasure box for years
edge 1t with a tiny ruche Of white mousseline
de sole. and arrange ii in a bertha on your
evening W
! Jet is very much the fashion for trimming
theatre waists and evening gowns generally.
Black net well covered with Jet paillettes in
pretty designs is quite as popular for entire
costumes as 1t was last season. but il is made

cream or white lace. Venetian point being
especially desirable. One pretty theatre waist
OF white silk has a small diamond design out
lined with narrow Jet embroidery all over the
lower portion. while above this is a hchu OF
trimmed with narrow black velvet ribbon.
Elton jackets falling in short rounded tabs
below the waist line or belted across the back
and sides with the round tab ends only in
front are extremely smart this season. They
are covered with applique embroidery or dec
white silk or cloth through the spaces.
A~novelty in waists to wear with your Eton
coat is made OF white velvet. and simply fin
ished with ruches or shirrings of yellow chif-
fon, and has q rhinestone clasp at the centre
OF the cravat bow. also OF yellow.
Round ~rosettes OF black velvet baby ribbon
are used as a trimming on lace evening gowns.
Cherry red taffeta is the latest thing for net
titoats. and IL yon would be quite up to date
haye corsetS TO match.
Something novel in a bridesmaids costume
is a white taffeta silk coat with round tails and
elbow sleeves. worn with n white net skirt
trimmed with chiffon ruches. The edges Of
tho coat are finished with rows OF stitching,
ana the revers are covered with handsome lace.
'~Cracquile " lace. so much used last sum-
mer. is spotted with small tufts OF chenille and
brought out as one OF the seasons novelties.
One OF the most conspicuous gowns worn at
the Horse Show was a cream white cloth. with
many jetted swallows in varying sizes and
spread wings scattered over the skirt. The
birds were of solid bead embroidery on a black
silk or satin foundation. 80 the effect was a de-
cided black and white ultogether unusual. The
gown was beautifully fitted and very modern
in cut. or II might have been dubbed o freak.
White cloth. fine and silky in finish. is one
OF the fashionable materials for the brides
maids gown.
Fancy NUTS Of velvet to match the hat are
displayed very temptingly among the extrava-
giant novelties. They arc fiat In effect and
made with q double uflc at each end. but
large in size. A stylish sable nun In u SINH
lar style has n wide circular frill at each end.
Ia lined with white satin, and is finished
on the edges with tiny short tails set on two or
three inches apart all around.
