 had never played so important a part
 as now. There is a perfect craze for oddities in this line, and it is not at all
 necessary that they should show any attempt at correspondence with the | gown beyond note of harmony.
 Costumes designed for the dressier | occasions are gay with brilliant green
 or red or blue ribbons, tied in sailor knots, or perhaps a four-in- hand tie de- pending from an evening corsage, the odd touch of severity contrasting strangely with the frills and furbelows
 of the frock itself
 Gold and silver tissue ribbon run | through lace headings, lace bands bor- dered with bebe velvet ribbons, fes- toons of tulle held down by wee elus- ters of artificial flowers or knotted at regular intervals, all form favorite
 modes of trimming the necks of after
 noon and evening dresses, while in the way of yokes new note is struck in that they are fancy in the extreme. For simple muslin froek there is a pretty yoke fashioned of alternate rows of delicate hand embroidered null in sertion and fine Valenciennes. These rows meet in a point in front, and are met where they join the shoulder seam
 with perpendicular rows of lace and embroidery. A row of insertion extends from the point in curve over the sleeve and around to a point opposite in the back, which, edged with. a har- row lace. forms finish for the yoke,
 Chokers are in again. and will be greatly in vogue during the fall and winter season, but they are never plain and seldom if ever made of any ma- terial heavier than radium or China silk.
 A Vienna importation shows a fasci- hating band of Pointe de Venise with scalloped edges wound around a wire foundation and tied in a smart little bow with long ends. Frequently with 8 silk stock, there are fetching little iabots of lace or tulle, and the revival of the dog collar, which is responsible for the return of the choker, has brought out any number of pretty yoke devices.
 A very charming visiting gown of white voile shows novelty in a nar- row inner vest with turnover collar fashioned out of plum-colored velvet. The vest, which is cut exactly like a mans, opens over a shield of exquisite lace, topped with one of the high stocks just described, and the bolero of embroidered voile that meets it border with a few of the plain goods richly wrought with fine gold thread. The colarless gown Is undeniably trying, but it is being a great deal worn neverthe- less. The pretty quaint Dutch square is more apt than any of the others to be becoming and, following that, the V-shape. The close round neck is pos itively ugly on ninety-nine out of every hundred women who attempt to wear it. Lowered a trif1e, 1t Is infinitely more attractive, and also lends itself Co A Most of the morning gowns in cottons and linens are made up with collarless blouses, and they at least have the ad- vantage of looking cool and comforta- ble. Numberless modes of treatment suggest themselves from the plain linen band to all manner of convention al designs cut from embroidery and lace.
 A great many folds and bands are being used on costumes of all descrip- tions, and the favorite old standby, the stitched band, will be prominent feature of fall trimming. Raised de- signs in hand embroidery in subdued colorings appear on the linen and hop sacking frocksf, and later on will be transferred to fall materials, while the beautiful specimens of Chinese hand work and the really magnificent gold and silver Turkish bands are going to continue service through another sea- son, if present prophecies ring true.
 It is stronhly rumored that just as we have adopted the seemingly incon- gruous combination of velvet furbish- iEgs with cotton and linen dressesl so, in the colder season, We shall reverse the order of things and trim our silk, satin, and perhaps even our velvet and broadcloth costumes with linen and cloth embroideries. Tn demonstration of this extremely chic little blouse of peau de cygne is trimmed with three- inch bands of white linen embroidered with daisies. in which petals are separ- ate, and, a handsome taffeta silk gown for a certain stately lady of fashion has a circular flounce and other trimmings of broadcloth relieved with velvet bands and buttons.-- The New York Evening Post.
