alchemy that turns their perfectly good
gold and silver into frills and furoe-
lows for the fair sex. but now. 10 and
behold, frills and furbelows are turned
into gold and silver. In the early

Metal Embroidery.
Embroidery in gold and silver threads
and steel and copper beads is another
favorite methods Of transmitting metals
into garments, and. indeed. a most
striking one in connection with the
lustrous velvets that are to be mode
for fall and winter wear. Cunning little
velvet hats. like the bell-crowned
beavers Of the beauty Of old have huge
made buckles Of gold or silver gause
and hat bands Of the same. Flat velvet
shapes in black or purple with wreaths

bined with gold and silver fruits are a
dazzle of eorgeousness. They are simply
bound to go to your head. Most Of them
are bound In metallic material. too.
The elaborate afternoon gowns and
suits for autumn are almost invariably
shown in redingote or full skirted Rus
sian coat models with wide bands Of
fur around the skirts Of the coats. the
cuffs and the collars. and always a
gleam of gold or silver picked out on
the velvet or satin of the principal fab

cloth. serge. satin, or chiffon forms
all the smartest suits and ever Is there

are short on cash. but have a heart Of
gold. you'd better wear 1t on your
sleeve
