hlny lace were its other trimmings. Sable
s in good taste, too, on dark goods. but
naturally is not so snowy there, and the
majority of women who invest in fur for
trimmings demand a good display for it.
AS to the application of the fur bands
there are a few restrictions. Sometimes
skirts show bands OF fur, while on other
costumes the bodice only is fur-trimmed.
Many wraps and long and short coats have
revers, collars and cuffs of fur, while 9TH
ers are trimmed with bands Louis XIV vel
vet jackets are beautifully garnished with
fur and lace Hats sometimes match the
costume, and usually have a knot of lace
or velvet here and there amid the fur. Lit
tie toques of the numerous brown furs
very jaunty and universally becoming. Fur,
flowers lace and velvet are combined on
one hat occasionally.
Aside from fur trimmings there is a re-
markedly varied assortment of stylish gar
nitures, including some new ones. A very
pretty trimming in black is a silk serpen-
tine braid in different widths. each scallop
widening almost into a point The new
braids are flexible, soft and glossy and are
easily arranged in any design new art
braid is pliable that different shapes may
be given TO it by stretching it in places.
Another new trimming is an embroidery
on both black and white taffeta that is cut
out in different designs on one edge and
embroidered by machine in imitation of
hand work White on black and black on
white are used The bands are not wide and
the embroidery is around the edges, some
delicate tracery being scattered through
the center. but this does not conceal the
silk. These bands make a very pretty fin
fish for the top of a circular flounce. where
1T is sewed TO the upper skirt, and for
the front edges of the bodice down either
side of the vest.
Laces keep their stylishness undimin-
ished, and there are new sorts. The latest
IS repousse lace. 1t is figured the figures
presenting the appearance of having been
hammered down. 1t is delicate variety
and especially well adapted for frills and
fiOunces. For bands and panels flet or
hsherman's net is much favored. but Irish
crochet in the various tints is the lace of
the season. Another new lace is cluny gui-
pure, which is not quite so heavy as ordi-
nary guipure. and IL cluny pattern The

about them. one appears on the central
