TRIMMING UPON TRIMMING.
A TENDENCY TO ovERDO GARNITUREs
IN FALL FASHIONS.

Next season is TO great revival in trim
mings. These will include buttons and cords and
passementeries embroideries, laces and medal
lions and always and everywhere brads They
say that ingenious modistes will find way TO in
troduce braids even upon lace gowns. and as for
everything of less fragile texture, it will be over
laid with braid,
Not for ten years has there been an actual re-
vivaI of trimmings; during much of that time ee-
CANT simplicity has been the rule The severe
tailored suit has regned, and the perfectly plain
untrimned skirt has never ceased to be worn
y7ut little by little three years past trim
rnings have encroached more and more, creeping
nsidously bodice to skirt until this fall they
will break out in perfect saturnalia of garnfture.
Not only will the foundation material be trimmed
but one kind of trimming will be used to trim an
other.
Delicate ChantiIly robes will be trimmed with
wreathlike motifs of some heavier lace like gull
pure, Irish Venise These wreaths will fncose
rnedallions of silk upon which flowers are en-
broidered in delicately colored silks. or perhaps
with raised petals of chiffon. These wreath motifs,
known framework designs, will be seen every
where, inclosing medalions. All the new trim
mings braids Iaces and whatnot separable. so
that the ring, wreath spray. or whatever the cen
trail motif of the trimming may be, can be de-
tached and used separately. taste may dictate.
