Chinese Gilt Buttons.

Chinese gilt" is the trade name
now given to the dull finished metal
buttons seen so often on tailor-made
costumes. If they were bright TO be-
gin with they might tarnish and be-
come dull irregularly in spots. But,
being dull finish to begin with little
else is expected of them, and the own
er of coat so trimmed will not feel
constrained to polish up her buttons
with chamois cloth.
Two sizes of these Chinese buttons
are employed for the jacket Of two
piece suit. Larger size of buttons will
be used in a double row to fasten the
Jacket fronts. If there is a shoulder
cape it will probably be arranged that
row of small Chinese gilt buttons be
used as trimming, in single row here
and there.
Very often there is a row of these
unfinished buttons down the Shout
der seam, or fastening of the long
epaulette, which comes from the neck
band and runs far down the sleeve
below the shoulder. - Philadelphia
