Latent Tilings In nllars And Milt.
Among the accessories that nowa
days are so important, ribbon
seems to predominate. Sashes aud
boleros; girdles aud armlets; belts
and shoulder bows, and streamers
floating from each and all of them,
are seen. The ellect is cbarmiug
and thoroughly feminine. Collai
ettes aud boas" with their myriad
loops of cul led satin ribbon look
like u mass of llowt-r-petals and are
most becoming when of the r'ght
tint.
The fancy belts are made of soft
leather or of silk. Those of plain
kid are some times shaped at the
back, or ornamented with tiny g'lt
button-, the. hncide or clasp b-ing
also of e;lt. Belts of silk webbing,
studded with sled be id, ate closed
with jewelled buckles and slides,
and are equally smart in black,
white and colored. Japanese feath
er is gi eat ly favored, and Ptinptd
our ami "Dresden silks produce
charming results. Patent and dull
leather and kid are equally popular
belts of the plainest s.rt, to be woru
with the linen blouse and short
skirt, or with the tailored frock.
Stocks, and belts in a variety of
shapes are made of linen, duck
pique, etc. and are decorated with
hand embroidery in blind or open
work effect. In some cases, the
belt and stock match, but this is
not neeesaaiy. The button-holed,
scolloped edge, is a favorita tiusih
for these pretty' trifles, and the
belts are closed with pearl or heavy-
gilt buckles, or pinned with a large j
old-farihioih:d brooch, j
Clu'iy lace is at the height of j
its popularity, and lends itself!
charmingly to all sorts of ne.:k and j
sleeve d cor:itimi. Collars of Cluuy j
lac , in star effect are pretty and j
add grea'ly to the appenranne of aj
plain f rod; or coat. The Hal, de-j
tachal'U- coilar uouompanies the j
chemisette in some cases, and may ;
be arranged very becomingly, i?t lUt
ctf.-ct, t specially, if the neck is
short. A medallion centre i a ,
