that it has come into such prominence
as m adjunct for elegant costumes. It

this superb chenille, would be sadly out
Of place worn with anything but hand
some costume. The most of the chenille
is straight and Of a size all the way, but
there are two or three kinds where the
chenille is made to look like beading and
in others like knots. But it is beautiful,
however It is made, and it's vogue is
remarkable. It takes a place between
fur and velvet and will, | think, be
popular all winter. White chenille and
also cream, when used to ornament even
ing dresses, particularly those for young
ladies, are extremely graceful as the long
ends Of the fringe float out. The chenille
for this purpose should be long and in
close lunches and these set on the
shoulders and at the waist line, and they
float out in such variety Of ways that
they keep one guessing what they will
