Buttons to be fashionable should be either very large or very small. A wonderful beautiful evening wrap of silver gray brocade is finished with a ten-inch silver fringe outlining the wide shawllike collar. The muffs are to be squarer even than last year, and instead of the fur toque there is the fur bonnet. Filet Irce is much used for panels, yokes and undersleeves. Sometimes the figures are embroidered in colors to carry out a tone idea of the costume. Soft feather breasts, made into bancs, with an upright feather at the side, form a smart and becoming trimming for some i>f the new velours shapes. The iong, wide scarf so universal last winter is now cut with a square collar effect at the back, and is worn draped round the figure and under one arm. Good, old-fashioned, hand-made torchon lace has been revived for the trimming of lingerie. It is a durable, serviceable lace that never ‘should have gone out of fashion. Small and large buttons, made of white cotton thread, closely crocheted, are now in first fashion. They are placed on blouses, on one piece frocks, on top wraps, in every size.
