are cheap by n means. for many are
very expensive. The usual trimming
consists of bands of satin, lace yokes
and passementerie. There are so many
dainty passementerie trimmings that,
seemingly, were made entirely for the
trimming OF dresses of this description
and with such they are very hand
some. These dresses look exceptional
ly well cut on straight lines, in polon-
uise effect with the seam down the
centre, bringing that portion OF the
skirt into a bias effect. The very small
shot button moulds. covered, make an
acceptable trimming. These dresses
are very SNOWY because the materials
are SO rich in color and, when given
additional touches with trimming, are
really gorgeous. The yokes of fish net,
with widely meshed passementerie, ook
