IT Is generally conceded that the
present season is one calling for
more than ordinary extravaganza
by the votaries of fashion. Fabrics
rich and rare invite the woman and
puzzle her choice. Shape and style are
extravagant to suit the prices. Taken
Complementary, the year 1902 is likely
to go down into history as notable for
its reckless extravaganza. It is not
the intention of the writer to deliver
a lecture upon the subject Of economy
in dressing. however, but TO point cut
the newest things in fabrics.
g. o %
There is a strong demand for laces.
The passion for gossamer creations
seems likely TO grow, and next season
VIII probably see the demand for cost
~ laces even sTeater than this. The
new Chantiily laces in skirt length
fiOunces, demi and narrow fOuncing
are the features Of the counters. Rus
sian and CIuny laces, which are so
fashionable just now, are being repro
duced by the St. Gaul and Plauen
manufacturers. 1t is believed that wide
bands with straight edges in all the
different trimming laces viii replace
the wave edge laces which have been
so in vogue.
Braids are destined to play a still
greater part in tE>< trimming of gowns.
The new wool silk braids are beautiful
and diversified. Braids with crochet
passementeries and pendants or small
buttons are very fashionable in trim
ming gowns and wraps of velvet, silk
or lace, as well as heavy wooden goods
The braids in dark and light effects are
desirable for trimming. A wide braid,
known TO the trade as Belgian, made
after the style of Renaissance lace,
White and cream, is much used on
dressy waists of chiffon.
9 g @
Fine soutache braids are being de-
veloped TO a high degree of art. They
are peculiarly valuable for laying upon
plain goods in alternate bands of black
and white. and produce a chic effect
far beyond the value of the material.

Checks. pads and stripes are in de-

contest for supremacy. Black and
white effects still hold the attention of
the designers, so the effects in the
piaids, stripes and checks are mainly
in those colors. Large two shade mix

are popular. Stripes are offered in all
sorts of material from the scent lawn

LATEJT IDEAS IN DRESSFABRTGJ

Then there are the silk soutaches in
black and white, which are admirable
for trimming stocks and girdles.
Fringes are being worn this year.
Indeed, they are in evidence every
where. They come in all widths, from
the narrow variety used to adorn the
ends of scarfs to the broad and silky
fringes of extraordinary length and in
tricate structure. Chenille fringes, al
though light, have a warm look and are
fine for winter trimmings. Some of the
ornaments on the chenille trimmings
are tremendous. But the most ele-
CANT of all chenille fringes are those of
fine, very closely woven strands, with
out heading, about nine inches deep.
They come in pale shades and are used
for the decoration of evening gowns.

EmbrOideries have an unusual vogue
this year. those of Oriental patterns
being extremely fashionable. The rich
colOrings of these embrOideries serve to
give just the necessary dash of color
to an otherwise too sombre costume
They are much in demand for the or
namentation of cuffs and collar bands,
as well as belts. The colored embroi-
deries on mOusseline de sole, or chiffon
laces, as they are sometimes called, are
much used in adornment of house
dresses.

In lawn and nainsook embroideries
there are some noteworthy departures.
There are some interesting applique

things about the heroes Of wo-

views:
Women have been accused Of writ

be true, that individual is seldom flesh

some Frankenstein of experimental
horror. 1t is rather a lovely evocation
OF the fancy, a beirg enskyed and

that while personal preference and ex-
perience widely differ. yet there IS,
among women's heroes, q curious typ

be married or single, bond or free;
whether their experiences Of life be
large. or limited: whether they be or
great talents or none; whether they
aim to depict men as they are or men
as they would like men to be-this same
general resemblance among women s
