it will be only a short time before all

but il. remains to be seen how the buyers
take them up.
The lace drapery veil, or piece lace
put on a hat so as to simulate this idea,
is prominent and novel in the French
millinery. 1t is this graceful drapery
idea which will be much seen at Nice
and Monte Carlo during the next few
weeks, and it is at those watering places
that the typical new fashions for spring
are first worn.
One material laid on another by way
of trimming is a marked feature of the
fashion Of the day. Cloth bands or ap-
plique designs of cloth on velvet gowns,
or the precise reverse, velvet cut out i'll
points or patterns laid upon cloth, or
silk used for edging cloth, or bands OF
cloth, looking little out of place in
themselves, but indubitably up to date,
on silk skirts-here is fancy of the mo-
ment which is likely to maintain its
popularity. Such decoration is seen on
the capes or collars or pelerines of the
bodiceS, as we'll as in the shape of bands
round or down the skirts. In the last
mentioned situation, too, scallops of the
material Of the gown, bound round with
the trimming fabric, as, for instance
cloth edged with silk, are adopted. Rib
bon makes good strappings or bands,
and can be had in such variety that there
is no difficulty in meeting the require
ments in the way of color or relief of the
dress material
The average woman will certainly
want a blue serge for the morning, and a
black cloth frock of some sort for the
afternoons at this time of year. Brown,
of course, is some women's color, and
then it may we'll take the place of black
but a dress of dark hue is a necessity, at
any rate for those who live in London.
