Fashion Notes.

very novel trimming effect was
witnessed the other day on reception
costume of white broadcloth, made In cut
away coat style with long train skirt.
The bottom of the skirt and the coat
were braided in scroll design with black
soutache and the latter trimmed with
white proadcloth buttons as large as
butter pad, half OF which were covered
with the black soutache, making one half
of the button white and the other black,
and these were set In circle of braid.
Other buttons of smaller size on this cos
tune were of white cloth set In black
bone rims. This half and half idea is
also noticed in millinery, a large white
beaver chapeau for instance, being trim
med with a huge bunch of white mara
bout spreading to the left from the
front of the crown and bunch Of black
spreading to the right. 1t is novel In
deed, but will probably prove nothing
more than n fad.
A handsome dress simple in the
extreme, worn by stunning brunette,
is of Paquin blue satin made with a
simple straight skirt, gored just enough to
give a pretty flare at the feet and jo2E l.

give little bust fulness, Is buttoned In
the back with tiny bone buttons in the
same shade as the material. And with
this simple creation, which, by the way
is finished at the throat without col

cuffs Of venise lace. The white lace is
beautiful with the blue satin, and the

If you happen to have a beautiful
silk or crepe scarf fringed and EN-
broidered at the ends and are wondering
what possible use can be made of 1t,
use 1t as one Paris maker does In his
latest creation. The centre Is caught to
the walstline in the front with square
rhinestone buckle. Then 1t Is brought
up over the shoulders to form Japa-
nese drapery and down again In the back,
where there Is another buckle larger than
that in the 'front.' the ends of the scarf
hanging almost to the hem of the dress,
which in the original model Is pale blue
satin, and the scarf blue crepe with Sill
yer embroideries. Various other ways
of using these scarfs equally as good as
this, may suggest themselves to the IN
genious homesewer or dressmaker, once
it is known that these accessories may
be used for anything but their original
purpose, that of draping the shoulder OF

"A hat trimming which is at once
pretty and serviceable, as well as e1,
tremely stylish, is the ruche Of fringed
silk. Black and all colored silks are
used, but in every instance the SIZE
should match the hat color ChangeaDie
silks are especially good in this instance,

ruche of changeable brown and green
silk. Frayed out silk about an inch wlue
may be bought by the yard and sewea
