Short Notes.

Strings of passementerie knots appear on many new garments. Velvet girdles lined with satin are made to wear with velvet directoire gowns. Corded silks are used for making the semi-princess dress, with material cut on the bias for trimming. Plcot-edged lace appears as trimming upon silks and satins. Tassels attached to crochet rings are found upon nobby street suits. The long motor coat for fall wear shows a row of tiny buttons from the collar to the cuffs, though not one appears where buttons rightfully belong, or, if there are any in use, they are hidden with the front plait. Bulgarian embroidery was found upon a dress of white satin. The narrow red satin cravat is worn with the tailored white linen waist. Plaids In warm, dull colors abound in street waists for early fall wear. A little French dress in the directoire mode showed the upper half of the coat literally trimmed with lace, and the tiniest band imaginable decorated the lower edge, leaving the skirt wholly untrimmed. Lace insertion edged the sides and lower half of pockets, placed low upon the coat skirt, and two small lace buttons wefe attached to the center of each pocket. Buttons of similar kind decorated the very narrow vest. i — Petroleum ointment stains are obstinate, and the best’ thing for them is to soak them in kerosene.
