NEw FALL MILLINERY.

alternate punches of crimped twist and
chenille This is made with heads. The
knotted heading is of chenille, and each
knot ends in long tassel. Between
them are the crinped silk tassels, the
whole being very handsome. The jet
fringes are very bright. Some of the
jetted elastic belts have beaded fringe
all around them. being much longer in
| front than the back and forming thus a
point under the buckle.
The materials, being in the main
smooth and plain of surface, save al
ways the fine wools Of the rough vari-
| eties make it almost necessary to have
elaborate trimming, or at least that is
how the providers view the matter
They claim that dressmakers are par
ticularly partial to fringe, as it gives
such elegant effects with so little labor
There is something in this, especially
as regards the beautiful made pieces
calculated to apply easily.
The fringes will be put upon skirts,
waists and wraps. Many of the dresses
for fall have little capes to throw
around the shoulders and long, straight
pieces to use as manteiets. All these
are bordered with fringe. Fringe, too,
is sewed upon the ends of the ribbon on
many outing hats. There are also lots
of wide and long neckties finished off
with netted silk fringe. Jabots are also
trimmed with light fringe. What lace
has been so long it seems that fringe
is to be now. One pretty fancy is that
where whole evening gown for
young airl was made of the same Tom
Thumb ribbon that ended in. fringe.
The material, which; was silk null, was
made up first, and then the ribbon was
latticed over the whole, sewed on, and
at the bottom it ended in fringe. An
satin cut and made first Over this was
a knotting Of black chenille, covering
the entire skirt TO within ten inches
from the bottom. The whole ended here
with a thick fringe of chenille and
crimped silk which reached to the bot
tom The effect of the white satin un-
der the chenille netting was very fine.
The latest importations show that
the use of filter spangles will be more
pronounced than ever. These are ap-
piled ON almost everything and produce
very brilliant effect at less than a
tenth of the cost Of jet and are lighter.
Jet, though, more than holds its own.
There is net completely covered with
black spangles This will be made into
evening dresses There are pieces where
the net is 1S and "a inches wide, one
complete mass of filter. This is used
for fronts of separate waists. Sleeves
and all. are made Cf it in some cases,
are showing whole evening dresses of
it. It is only admissible in black for
such purpose There is some of gold
and silver spangles, but that has too
circusy look for refined dresses. Nine
tenths of the handsome gowns this year
are to be of black or white, with oppo-
site trimmings, or combination of
black and white.
Braids and all sorts of set trimmings
of braid will have great vogue. They
vary from the narrowest soutache to
the heaviest titan and hercules quail
ties. Much fiat braid will be used edged
with trefoil looping of narrow castle
braid. Pearl buttons gilt and crystal
ones and others of many faceted jet
will De worn upon dress waists and
upon jackets and the coats of military
shape | suppose the Dewey styles in
coat will be out by next week in all
their splendor of gold and silver braid
and stars.
Some of the new millinery is calcu-
lated to astonish the natives. The Tam
O'Shanters bear very little resemblance
to the old Tams. These have high,
crushed crowns OF velvet or felt. Some
have the crown of felt in color, with
black velvet hrim, and others the op-
pcsite The colors are black, gray,
brown, navy and castor. The golf hats
have crowns higher ON one side than
the other and the inevitable quill. A
mourning bonnet for a young widow is
shown in the picture, and fur and
satin toque, with aigrets and curled
bows of wired velvet ribbon, awfully
stylish. OLIVE HARPER
