fects may be accomplished with them.
The shops display wonderful assert

often these are responsible for the sue
cess of otherwise simple frocks. Self
covered ones are still used, but their
glory is distinctly dimmed by the more
artistic examples in China, crystal
cloisonne and all the metals, in each
of which the variety Ia overwhelming

In the pretty frock of the accom-
panying sketch the buttons are not BY
any means the least feature. They
are medium sized balls OF silver oddl!
arranged on sleeves and skirt.
The frock itself is Of plated whit'
crepe de chine and has novel al
