Your Corsage Bouquet

The fashionable corsage rose now has leaves of dead black velvet, a line of vivid green being visible just at the edge of each leaf. These black leaves throw the col-

or of the rose into strong, rich relief and make it an important color-note of the costume. \ There is a deal of > skill and some coquetry in the placing of a corsage flower, and no woman who is not positive about her artistic Instinct should attempt an* effect that may possibly spoil her whole costume. Huge bunches of luscious looking Concord grapes, with one or two green leaves clinging to the stem, are particularly fashionable as corsage decorations, and the the very lost note from Paris. . ’ These grapes have a misty purplish color —exactly like Concord grapes with the morning dew still on them, and they are charming with gowns of gray tint.
