Paisley, Persian and Indian designs are all being carried over from the winter, and are seen on
silks and cottons alike.
Instead of tumblers, goblets are much used. They are on the pat- tern of the old coaching glasses of a century or more ago, and, being of a thicker type than the ordinary, are
not so liable to breakages. These are of plain cut glass.
Glass is so much in vogue that glass services often take the place of china, and there is a craze for novelty of design. White, with a black border, and plain amber are in very good taste.

the collars of some of the evening coats for summer wear. It is dyed to match the wrap which is usually of taffeta in pastel shades.

NOVEL CURTAINS.
Where the outlook is dreary, try painted lace curtains for covering the window. The paint should be of the lacquer variety, and the lace pattern may be picked out in any colour scheme desired. A filet design, showing figures, could have the pattern painted Wedg- wood blue, the background being left quite plain.
This is quite an inter- esting occupation for odd momente, and is quickly done.
Nearly all chillon frocks ure lace trimmed or pleated. When combined
with lace they are simply draped. Pleated they are marvels of casond-

"Mountain haze,” with its kindred shades of lavender, heliotrope and orchid, is more seen than any other colour.
NEW BUCKLES AND MOTIFS.
The most expensive buckles are the double variety, which, round or oval in shape, are rimmed with bands of onyx that frame intricate diamond filigree work. Plaques of jet and orgatal are to be seen on all sides.
Little wheel ornaments made af Rhine stones, intersected with rims of jet, are to be seen clasping many of the new matalasse coats; while for day and evening gowns one sees elaborate beaded motifs composed of pearls, Rhine stones, reproduction rubies or crystals, many of them having long-fringed tassel adornments.
Turquoises are also being freely used for making the pretty rope- like ornaments that trim so many of the crepe gowns for evening wear. Such trimmings often take the form of large turquoise-86t bow, from which is suspended one of the new flat chenille-fringed tassels, which, set into a turquoise top, hang from the hip to the dress they adorn.
Large cut jet motifs, complets been sharing popularity with those Egyptian fashions, which hure" with long drop jet sarrings, and a from Persia and Ukrainia, will take are used to keep transparent series of thin jet bangles, which the lead now. sleeves in place, are now to beig in colour and designs of populor This influence will be risible most- bought in sets.
printed fabrics-chiffons, silks, sille rupes, cottons, linens, even wool jerseys.
Jewelled motifs, composed of precious stones, often set in large fan-shaped mounts of gold and platinum filigree work, are also being sent out by the artist jewel workers of Paris, as trimmings for the new toque bats. Big double buckles set with precious stones are used in place of a brooch to keep luxurious fur collare tightly round the wearer's neck.

IMITATION JEWELLERY.
Most of the imitation jewellery that is sold 18 made in Birming- ham and district, and the history of the trade goes back for ages. During recent years the influence of Italy and France has been noticeable in many of the designs shown, and now imitation jewellery is frequently bought for its own worth and not with any intention to deceive. It is rather hard to say where trimmings and and imitation fancy jewellery begins. Certain buttons and 'pendants might be termed either jewellery or trimming, but they are made and sold by manu- facturers of imitation jewellery in Birmingham. Clasps are also included in the same category, and many of these are beauti- fully designed. Silver is often used in the making of imitation jewellery, as is rolled gold, Bometimes.
