while in coats this trimming is often used
to simulate the collar, cuffs, revers and
bolero Jacket effects. Buttons are stlli IN
high favor, although used more sparlngly
and more artistically than in the last few
seasons. Fiat-stitched effects in silk, satin
and other fabrics are excellent. while the
htsh-class garments show touches OF heav-
lily encrusted braid trimmings in gorgeous
coloring and metal effects. Tassels and
other pendant ornaments are in greater
evidence than ever, for even some Of the
plain linen-tailored garments show this
style of trimming. Heavy silk and cotton
floss embroidering, either embroidered on
the fabric or applied in band and other
trimming form, is used freely, and while
a great deal of the embroidering is done

color effects are well liked.

The ~eason's Favored Materials.
Although there is a wide showing Of
fancy materials. much is done with tha
plain fabrics. Serge is shown in varIous
weights and grades. Panamas are used 10
a wide extent, and particularly In the ma

fancy weave is one of the seasons novelty
