its descriptions:
Indoor toilets are still made either in
the redingote or the empire shape, without
pleats, or with only one large pleat behind.
Sashes are much worn they are very wide,
and fastened very low down. These sashes
are worn even with walking dresses, under
apaletot.
SOME UNDER SKIRTS are trimmed with
very narrow f1ounces, put on with head
ing, pinked out and gathered. This is an
old fashion which comes back to us agaip.
Deep pleated fiounces have been so much
worn during the winter that ladies are
already tired of them. Small gathers are
now occasionally to be seen on the hips.
and these gathers are sewn very close to-
gether at the back. Small cores are insert
ed into the lower part of the skirt to widen
it. @
The following is pretty manner of trim
ming a skirt: Take wide. eross-cut band
of silk. and make it describe five folds OF
or pleats; arrange it in front of the skirt as
asemicircle, carrying it up to the hips like
the basque Africaine; at the back this
cross-cut band has no pleats, but is ar
ranged to the effect of sash thrown over
the skirt Torientale, and tied at the back
in two ends, which terminate either with
floss silk fringe or feathers. This style of
sashis likewise occasionally tied at the side,
and then iG takes up some of the folds of
the skirt, which it has the effect of looping
up. This style looks well in either white
silk or gray poplin. Ifthere is bow only
on one side. silk pocket, in the form of an
aims bag, Is added at the other. Moire
Wristbands, likewise bands of color con-
trasting with the dress, are very fashion
able. Thus, with black dress, either red
or blue moire sash will be worn, and reins
or guides to match will be added at the
back. -- o..

for so long, is again fashionable, it falls in
such beautiful soft folds over the small
crinolines now worm Some ladies cut up
old China crepe shawls into peplums with
large sleeves. G.'l e !ti EH 1851 n
WIDE SLEEVES are gradually gaining
favor, but they usually have close sleeve
OF the same material underneath. The
Hungarian sleeve is very popular. 1t is
straight and open to the top of the arm,
but is slashed together again with silk cord.
SMALL LACE JACKETS, of the Greek or
Spanish form, are very much worn over
low-necked dresses. White, black, and col
ored cashmere jackets, dotted over With
beads, are very much worn; they are
especially nice tor wearing over thin bodies
on cool days. -n
SASH RIBBONS are OF the most beautiful
description some of the black ones are ex-
quisitely ornamented with wild and field
flowers. -.-' ~.
, BLACK CASHMERE PALEroTs, entirely en-
oi1ered with jet beads, are as much the
fashion now as they were last autumn. 1t
Is, par excellence, the denai-SdiSOn garment.
The new toilets we see are, for the most
part, composed of the dress and paletot
alike. The paletot is very short; it is
made, however, of different shapes some
times it is straight and loose, sometimes
half fitting, and sometimes quite tight to
the figure, and worn with waistband over
it.. In the latter case, it is suitable only for
young ladies, or at any rate, only for slight,
youthful figures. The paletot, of whatever
shape it may be, has very rarely a straight
edge, it is cut out in round scallops, point
ed vandykes, square tabs, clover-leaves,
and other more or less eccentric
patterns. Sometimes it is curved in, in
front and at the back, and heightened on
either side in long peplum basque slit
open in the middle. The trimming of the
paletot corresponds to that of the dress.
Narrow crimped fringes, black guipure
lace borders, plain or embroidered silk braid,
and passementerie ornaments are much
used. The latter are Often initiated by or
naments worked in wooden or silk braid,
and forming circles, trefoils, and other
patterns, to which beads are often added.
Woolen braid is quite sufficient for trim
ming paletot of fancy woolen material
which does not require expensive or ele
giant ornaments. Most of the paletots have
wide sleeves, and these wide sleeves affect
many forms-the Hungarian, the Polish
aud the ~ udge" sleeve, which is simply the
old wide pagoda shape; there is the Polon-
dise sleeve, which is straight and open to
the top of the arm; the Venetian sleeve,
which is only open as far as the elbow :;
ana, lastly. the GdLilee sleeve. This last is
decidedly the prettiest; iC is not separate
from the paletot but forms part oft, and
is, in fact, only simulated sleeve. 1t de-
scribes point at the bottom, and termi-
mates with a tassel; it opens at the cuff
and the side is trimmed either with row
of buttons or jet embroidery. The front
of the Galilee paletot is quite straight, the
back describes point; iG is made in black
spouN de sole, in cashmere, and in fancy
cloth. Generally speaking the wide, hang
g ing sleeves are more becoming when made
of soft materials than when tdfetds is used
for them, however rich in substance it may
be. uGlr -e ILT- .--r :
BoNNETs continue to be made of innu1n-
cradle shapes. The latest style, is called
the "Josephine." Imagine large bonnet
with a fiat curtain, a large drawn front. and
the sides rounded Off with no strings of
any description whatever, and you have the
Josephine " bonnet. Bronze leaves are
very general on bonnets, likewise gold
fringes and gold beads. The lappets,
which are now used for strings, are ar
ranged in peculiar manner. They no
longer pass round the back of the bonnet,
but are fastened at each side OF it, forming
three pleats, and terminating with either
feather or. silver fringe; they are
now usually made of tulle. Black
3 erin, lined with pink silk, and trimmed at
the side with a rose, and another rose under
the chin, forms one of the prettiest negIige
bonnets it is possible to conceive. Demi-
Saison bonnets made of crepe are more
. popular than straw ones at the present mo-
ment. Fdnchons of blue crepe, with small
white field daisies arranged carelessly, are
great tavorites. These bonnets are tied
with narrow crepe strings, bordered with
s ruche of silk or ribbon about half an inch
wide. No bow is worn under the chin now
it is replaced with either small bouquet ol
brooch. 1911 r
