BACK TO METALLIC EFFECTS

Metal Flowers and Fancies Latest Fad Noticed In Fashions of Beason. One might have imagined that there was nothing less likely to happen than the return to metallic effects, for it is not so very long since they were sufficiently In the forefront of fashion to make their return a most unlikely forecast. Yet here we are glittering as much as ever with cloth of gold for our evening attire, and brocades richly shot with gold making some of the most elegant of the toques and draped hats, that are worn on the street. Gold lace is also a millinery feature that seems worth mentioning, and one thing in favor of metallic effects remaining among the more exclusive of the season’s details is that they are chiefly confined to the more expensive ornaments. Silver as well as gold 1s to be seen, especially in the form of large plain buckles or of full-grown roses.
