A prevailing fashion for wedding presents is to give heavy pieces of furniture, such as sideboards, writing-tables, cabinets, and pianos. A favorite dress for travelling is heliotrope cashmere, with bonnet to match. For a dark bride nothing is more becoming than dark blue tailormade with white vest and sailor collar. Gray cashmere with steel passementerie has also been much in vogue.
Tempest had set her heart upon Vixen's going to the ball; or, in other words, she had set her heart upon going herself. On her way through Paris, in September, she had gone to Worth's out of curiosity, just to see what the great man's salons were like and there she had been tempted into the purchase of an artistic arrangement in black silk and jet, velvet and passementerie.
Tempest for the rest of the winter was in a flutter about her dresses. She was very particular as to the exact shade of silver-gray or lavender which might be allowed to relieve the sombre mass of black; and would spend a whole morning in discussing the propriety of a knot of scarlet ribbon, or a border of gold passementerie.
Crepe was more swagger than ever before, both as trimming and for entire costumes. "House gowns, my dear, and dinner gowns, made entirely of crepe in the Princesse style, will exactly suit your daughter and on the dinner gowns she can wear a trimming of that dull jet passementerie."
Faces swimming in the stage ozone and wolfish for cue. The purple lips Almost like a frieze stuck on to the border of each day was Hattie's life in the theater. Passementerie. That was how Hattie treated it. Especially during those placid years of the phenomenal New York run of "Love Me Long." The outer edge of her reality. The heart of her reality?
"A wrap made of passementerie and jet, with a mousseline de soie ruche about the neck held by a chou, would make it fascinating." "The committee on treachery is ready to report," said Delilah, rising from her corner, where she and Lucretia Borgia had been having so animated a discussion that they had failed to observe the others crowding about Cleopatra and the papers.

There were about forty men and eight ladies present besides Aunt Maggie and I. You'd never have known the third richest woman in the world. She had on a new black silk dress with so much passementerie on it that it sounded exactly like a hailstorm I heard once when I was staying all night with a girl that lived in a top-floor studio. "And my dress! say, Man, I can't waste the words on you.
However as Virginie brought forward a cashmere dress trimmed with passementerie and jet, she thought fit to interfere. "No, no, not that," she said. "That would be beyond the price. Show her that black challis dress with the little dots. The skirt will be a trifle too long and the waist too large, but it can easily be made to fit her, besides we have nothing else in black."
He has a nice face, and I think Silvery Mary will be happy with him, much happier than with her rather dismal family, though his salary is only fifteen hundred a year, and pearl passementerie, I believe, quite unknown and useless in the Hoosac region. She had loads of the most beautiful presents you ever saw. All the Silvers are rolling in riches, you know.
