 FLOWER TRIMMINGS.
 For very sheer goods artificial flowers are used very much in the same way rjhticn trimmings. The smallest, fiatteat Niles of the valley are stitched to tine un- derskirt. making festocn around the foot. Another style is the plaid. wthIoa Is acccn- plislhe1 by setting the flowers upon the goods in rows several inches apart and crossing the flowers to form floral plaid. The rows of flowers are stitched upon the skirt sometimes in such "a way as to make a large open dia moTrd.
 f. The pcpurarlty of the skirt which opens dTi front or upon tine side Is not on the wane Even when the back is box plahted the opening is upon the side. It is located in the seam at the left side of the front and is oll1her treeted GnyiSjbly or is treated fin recoratave way. Mrs. Arthur Paget, the American leader of Dcndon society, appeared at a South African beneht tn gown of Scot1h basket cFo5h, made with an o1d-nasrJ.oned basque and ripple skirt with tunGc. The tuntc opened on the side and was secured with un-ee very large coral buttons, set around with Tllinestones. She wore coral jewelry.
 Though this is not jew7e1ry talk men, fC5n must be made of t1e beautiful new rteces in coral and diamonds. At uhe Metropolitan opera house the other even ing fair box holder bared one hand and, upon the middle finger, sihcne an immense circular ring with center of coral sur rounded by diamonds. Diamond and coral necklaces are also displayed Those of us who own Uld coral jewelry can be up to etXle IOv ht9 Xl1R It Wltl Sllch Qll n1OQT1S we may beast
 A gown that can riolt be matched outside of its own kind is now being made for one of New York's western heresses. It is of coffee colore1 batiSte with open stripes of lace. Underneath the lacey stripes there is sli- a piece of coral satin. The box p1ufted skirt is treated in the same way, wi;h the face stripes forming the upper our outside of the plaits. Panne coral velvet forms the belt and stock, both of which are to be worn with a buckle of coral and bril- Plants.
 New stocks are made of two materials, velvet and chiffon, loops of each setting out smartly under the dhin with ends.
 One s!1ould speak of summer tIImmtngs, but to tell the truth 3he new fabHcs arc so decorative in themselves that few trim nilgs are needed an underiay of ta fsta 5o'rlg all that is necessary.
 Some of the mest charming results are ofetaindl by the use of very narrow h1- Dt'i Ine COId upOu l4lS tdSe Ol l-le Ilo- Foa is pulled until the ribbon is nicely | fred. 1t is then stitched to the goods 70 " ,c'l a dcsrsn.

The xihfured edge is then ADt@-;led to Ule goods suoIh way that the IT. f.i-n stands upright. This trimming is SC. around the embroidered flowers, mak- ing them look very natural and pretty.
 Mousselfne Is the sensational material of the summer. It is cotton goods with a stilk finish. Not in the least like mousse line de sode. Il has all the elegance of that mci-erlal, though it looks more like silk. Unfortunately 1t is expensive though being of double width less 9s required.
 Many women do not care to spend dollar yard upon summer goods, and for thern there are little cheap limitations that answer every purpose. The chaIlieS look m1T,Ll like mousseline if the same shades are selected and If tine dress is made up with an equal degree of care Let 'the trimrn.ng1s be carefully selected and make Frlem after the best models. Do not think that you can mot, with limbted purse, ac- complisl1 results, for you will find, on srlcrt srial, tlrat cnuch can be done with 10- cent goods. marrow ribbon and patience.
 The plain goods are hardly to be seen un- Tess designed to be wcrn with over dress of lace, chiffon or ba'tiste. Figures run ric. over all goods or stripes chase T.srnstlves over the surfaces which are not cco.ss-crossed with plaids.
