I Chenilla Popular in Paris. Chenille is being much wcrn in Paris, largely in pastilles pastilles are flat while cabochons are convex and also in the latter form. As it is strong, it I ig used to advantage hi embroideries j and the finest is used in making shaded flowers and leaves, often with delightful delight-ful results. Strips of brown leather no wider than the chenille are used with orange and yelicw sha.its of the latter, and the resulting galloons are exceedingly exceed-ingly rich. In Pari." the tailored costumes are almost al-most invariablv trimmed with flat effects, ef-fects, although the Parisian tailored costume is quite a different thing from the Kmglish and American tailored costumes. Velvet is much used as a trimming, the velvet being applied in two-inch bands on wcol gowns, and often these are ysparated by silk galloons. Gray Is Much Worn.
