| Maltese buttons. Many of the winter
| dresses are likely to have single
| breasted waistcoats, and for these the
page boys close-set buttons are likely
| to be wanted. The crystal buttons
have been the feature of this season.
They are now being beautified by a
pearl, an emerald. a ruby or their semb-
lance inserted in the center. Painted
buttons to match the flowered muslins
find place on the silk sashband at the
side of the waist. and anything in the
way of antique buttons would seem to
be warmly appreciated and to find a
use at once.
Black velvet is seen in some form on
nearly all light gowns; bands across the
front in many cases appear to fasten
the skirt, others again have a wide
black velvet band from the center of a
high stock. secured in front by buckle
The favorite way, however, is to thread
white lace with narrow velvet and use
the lace as trimming. We see, indeed,
entire gowns made of this velvet
threaded insertion, sewed deftly to-
gether.
A beautiful toilette of ecru guipure
has two small capes covering the
shoulders, the one over the other. These
and the standing collar, also of guipure
are threaded with the very narrow
black velvet. A torsode of black vel

while black velvet bows continue the
effect on the front of the skirt.
We illustrate this week a Worth
gown, which, if this great authority is
to be believed, is the gown soon to be
ours. 1t has a very full skirt and a
full peplum overskirt, as will be seen.
We leave our reader to become recon-
ciled to it.
| must not close without referring to
our illustration of novelties from Paris,
whose jewelry has not secured its
fame for nothing. Nowhere in the world
can one purchase a brooch, for instance,
which, on account of its excellent dis
play of workmanship and taste is per
fectly wearable for such a sum as ten
cents, except in Paris. where | have
seen dozen of such fasteners; fancy
safety pins which one need not be
ashamed to possess, and which prohab-
ly cost one any sum between the above
and the more ambitious franc, or 20
cents, with pearls. French pearls, no
matter how cheap. are always of rea-
listic color, differing widely from those
we see here Yet l could not say that
all things are on the same scale, as,
for example, the Louis XIV. chatelaine
was priced much beyond its apparent
worth; but, being novelty, and one
which could very easily be created
within the shadow of ones own root
tree. l deem II worthy OF DllHSlilS "
the notice of my readers the ingredients
contained in the receipts for making
thereof A number of ivory or steel
rings, a piece of quarteT-inch wide
watered ribbon, a fancy steel waist
hook, a tiny slide, and several steel
slip rings Instead of STEEL when ivory
rings are used. gilt fittings would be
found to have a prettier effect. The
rings. as shown in the sketch, are
threaded through with the ribbon. the
top and bottom rings alone being sewn
to the ribbon, the rest keep each other
in place. The "danglems' as they are
called in slang phaseology. can be of
anything and everything, according to
the requirements of the individual; per-
haps the most useful collection con-
siste of a memmorandum book, steel
ring purse, a pen and pencil combined,
and a pin cushion of Liliputian dimen-
sions. This chatelaine. besides being
very uncommon, possesses the addi-
tional advantage of not frictioning the
surface of ones dress; that is to say,
when made of the ivory rings, and the
cost would be very small
