OUTDOOR COSTUMES.

Braid and Buttons Are Been on Moot of tho Now Models.

Careful study this picture will supply one with many bints in regard to what Is correct for the season's outdoor dress. For instance, the hat of straw Vrald and velvet has the side elaborations which are one of the new notes in millinery. The dainty stock is embroidered with the smart French knot, while the jal*ot is edged with venise lace. The coat, cut on the accepted straight lines, comes just a little below the hips and is profusely garnished with silk braid and very large buttons. The sailor style, supplemented with large revers. Is seen on the collar. The skirt recalls the models of five years ago with its paneled front and side plaits. The touches of satin and tbe large buttons bring it np to date. Suede shoes with rounded toes, a neat parasol matching tbe dress and white suede gloves complete this smart outfit. In nearly all the new suits the favored trimming is braid, especrally the wide braid, which sometimes forms the collar, cuffs and revers and trims tbe skirt as well. Panels of braid coming down tbe front and back of tbe jacket and continued In tbe same way on tbe skirt are distinctly the thing. Narrow braid is also very smart, especially when worked ont In ornamental designs on the skirt and coat A touch of color is added by oriental embroidery on tbe collar, sleeves, and revers. There Is merely a hint of this, and It is not allowed to become too prominent In tbe color scheme. Buttons are also very much In evidence, some of them of the same color as either tbe suit or tbe trimming or as both and some of them silver or gilt These latter are very small—quite tiny. In fact.
