Among the new imported trimmings for
the fall and winter season. the opalescent
and metallic spangled nets and an odd
combination of chenille and net seem to
lead in lightweight garntures. The span
gled nets come in black and white and
many colors. In the white net the fayorite
combination seems to be silver or gold
paillettes encirclng a center of opalescent
spangles.
In the all-over net the pattern shows a
spray of the opalescent spangles on stem
Of silver or gold beads and scattered at IN
tervals are smaller sprays of the metal
paillettes in the form of a small blossom
with stems and beads. This opalescent
spangled net is called the camelia spangle.
and to match the ai-over there comes
very peculiar founcing called godet. which
is finished in scallops.
On the edge are set very small glass
beads which CLEAN like rhinestones. Next
to the beads runs a line of silver spangles
also small and ending on either side of the
scalop in small scroll design. Running
from the scallop is a conventional design
in wheels OF various sizes. which have
center of the rhinestone beads encircled by
opaleScent SpangleS with outer row of
the silver. The small wheels are of the
silver or opalescent spangles with the bead
centers, while the entire mesh IS spangled
with very Smal SILVER palllelteS.
Rhinestone Beads.
Close to the head of the founce is row
of opalescent wheels with spokes in the
rhinestone beads and the top finish of the
founce matches the bottom edge. SO fine
are the spangles that the material does not
have gaudy effect. but sparkles much
seashells do in water The combination of
the silver paillettes with the rhinestones is
lar more effective than when gold SDaDClpS
are used
The black spangled nets show conven-
tional wheel designs or flowers in jet
paillettes, gold and silver. \ most effective
piece Of black spangled flouncing employs
for the centers of its pattern hollow jet
ornaments that look some what like nail
heads. These are surrounded by Il circle
of tiny black beads and then by a circle OF
sequins. A most effective piece of trim
ming, which comes both in the all-over and
the godet, has dark blue foundation span
gled In jet.
OF the new lace for hall sleeves three
novelties are worth considering. One OF
these Is a peculiar deep scallop In real
chantilly, showing rose pattern. The other
is pompadour net, showing passion flowers
or lilies, each of which is large enough TO
form a scallop by itself The pompadour is
really lace upon lace.
Raised Flowers.
In this case the passion flowers and the
lilies are padded raised fully quarter
of inch above the net foundation, and
each stamen stands out by itself, beautiful
piece of handwork The third sleeve lace
and deepest of ALL is a net top fiounce with
a straight edge Of Point de Venise inser-
ton. Above this Insertion and running into
the foundation net is set scalloped half
moon of the Point de Venise. surrounding
a conventional rose pattern in pompadour
work. This pattern sells for So yard, and
it will take four yards to fill the sleeves of
one of the new velvet coats
Chenille trimming on net will be used in
combination with velvet. The net, faxed
In snowdrop pattern with self toned chenille,
takes the form of wide insertion or band
and it is set into the skirt with handwork
Conventionalized flower patterns of che
nile run up and down the skirt from
either side of the net band
Buttons promise to be used much for
trimming the autumn gowns and coats is
well as bizarre-shaped buckles in cut steel
and both the dull and polished jet and gold.
For the tailored vest. which is to be worn
again this winter, tiny bullet button in
gun metal, gold and silver is shown in many
of the shops. The button is serviceablc as
