Coatees, fichus and cape completed jackets are bel en to the taifetas and faille dem lored gowns made for the afternoon. Pretty little fan- cies are expended upon some of the jackets, such as a couple of long rib- Dbon ends slung from the back of the Juli: collar, or a waist belt embroidered with, beads of many shades. The popular trimming upon the dress that bears the stamp of refinement and good taste 1s a starightforward affair, indecd. It is a ple band, or an cqually simplo piping, set upon the hem of a ski ounce, coat basque, hat crown or whatnot. But there is the usual spice or orig- inality in the material employed, with- out which there would be none of the charm of novelty. Straw and waxed braid are two of the new resources, and both arc seen in the guise of bands,e i v in the case of straw, and t width in that of the waxed braid, which, by the way, 18 not easily distinguished from leather. ol
