HeYuid fashion writer, the bodices are plated
some being made with yokes, Others without
but yokes are decidedly one Of the fashions Of
the year. Mastic foulard and Swedish gray
foulard are very popular made in this style
and worn with silk skirts, trimmed with two
killings edged with Valenciennes lace The
foulard tunic is draped at the side with q
bouillonne, bordered with lace. The yoke
bodice is made with gros- grain waist-band
of the same color, but darker shade. Demi-
long sleeves, with wide Valenciennes sewn on
fiat and turned up on to the sleeve; a
Valenciennes iabot on the high bodice. Other
dresses have the yoke piece made entirely Of
old Venetian point, mounted on silk,a band Of
Venetian point at the side of the tunic, and
reyers of point at the side of the tunic, and
revcrs of point on the sleeves; others are
decorated with colorcd embroidery worked on
thread net of very strong manufacture. Eng
lish and Madeira embroidery are also used for
yoke pieces, especially with the Indienne
costumes that have either Chinese blue,
layander Or navy-blue ground. The collar is
formed Of an upright crepe lisse plating, and
the fiat bow on the bodice is either yellow
gold and black, or dark blue and crimson.
The tunic is fastened at the side with wide
band Of white embroidery, and at the bottom
of the tunic there fiat bows of the two
colors, similar to those on the bodice. The
skirt is simply plated.
With Indienne costume, and with foulardIones
too, especially when they are of the natural
ecru color, nothing looks more stylish than
THE PARABERE CASAOUE
The foundation is a coarse, soft ecru linen,
and it is covered with embroiderie in silk,
worked in the Louis XIV. style. The casaque
opens in front over either a velvet or a satin
Waistcoat, the satin being either dark blue or
caroubier. At the back the velvet or satin
point is repeated with looped ribbon bows Of
the two colors, which are again to be seen on
tho edge of the casaque, the same style Of
casaque is made in ecrue or natural colored
silk, brocaded with large roses or other flow
ers. These materials are made into waistcoats,
as trimming to bodices, as bands to skirts and
also into bonncts. Bonnets, some black, some
brown, have the crowns of the materials
twisted and tied q Ia Creole, exactly as gay
cotton handkerchief are twisted round the
heads of half-castes. These materials are
called Leckzinska, and around the edge of
the brims there is a narrow chenille fringe,
which matches the straw in color. Parasols
are also made of LeckZinska; likewise pay
same fichus, suitable for wearing over al
most any dress.
WAITE BAREGE AND SILK GRENADINE
dresses are also distinguished summer tot
lettes. Some are made over pale blue silk
Innings, and trimmed with narrow plating of
blue satin. Another has scarfs of alternate
folds of straw color and blue silk Real
camel's hair bordering, embroidered with gold
threads, trims another white dress. Most
noyal of all is a Worth dress of white barege,
trimmed with many killings, made Of Scotch
plaid silk, in which red and blue are the prin-
cipal colors. The skirt has several plaid
platings, and a singlesrow edges the over
skirt and Marie Antoinette fiehu The bodices
OF such dresses have blouse fronts, with plaid
silk waistcoats. Another way of using these
plaid silks is shown by Worth in travelling
dresses that have lower skirt of black and
white checked silk, with an over-dress of gray
camePs hair opened in front from the waist
to the feet, to show the plaid skirt.
Several dinner dresses are worn of white

either of satin or velvet The following de-
scrption will serve Us a model: White mus
lin skirt over white silk pettlcoat; the former
bordered with thick silk ruche; white mus
lin overskirt turned up q la layeuse, with a
deep ruby satin band, and over it band Of
fine Venetian guipre; band Of satin and
guipure ornaments the side, and below the
layeuse tunc there is a killing of muslin on
the skirt; the coat bodice is ruby satin, with
revers and cape of faille, covered with Vene-
tian point narrow sleeves with Venetian
point revers; deep waistband of ruby satin.
Another white muslin toilet was a mass Of
boullonnes and Vaenciennes lace on the
skirt; Louis XIII. bows down the front, a
mixture of navy blue tin; the bodice was
navy blue satin, with square cape of pink, and
the lining of the basque was pink faille. ~.
THE SMALL CABRINAL CAPEs
of days gone by have reappeared; they do not
reach to the walst-indeed, some barely fall
below the Shoulders. Almost every lady
possesses at least one made of black Indian
cashmere, covered with alternate rows OF dead
and brilliant MAJ about fringe, which fringe
also goes by the name of 'copeau," and is
made of crimped silk braid. There is newer
fringe for the same purpose, which has
feathery effect, and is made of UNFINISHED
chenille; but it is more costly. Russian en-
broidery on ecru linen is much used for trim
ming summer dresses, and very thin mate
rails are ornamented with small ruches, in
which Valenciennes lace is introduced The
Russian embroideries are varied but always
of bright colors, such as red and blue, mixed
with yellow and screen; and they are
sold in bands of different widths Some very
wide bands are intended for the laveuse tu-
MICS, now so popular, the narrower bands be-
ing used for tasques and sleeve trimmings
The Louis NH, .flot bows, made of double
ace or reversible satin ribbon, are now sold
ready made These flots or clusters of hang
ing loops are fastened at the throat, at the
top of the back, on the pocket at one side ,Iand
at the edge of the laveuse tunic at the other
side. The most effective are made of narrow
satin ribbon, W ich is dark on one side and
light on the other, and bows of two colors are
the Professionalism and black, navy blue
and cardinal, turquoise blue and armelite,
prune and straw color, moss green and blue,
gray and carmine, etc.; black satin .tlots are
also sold ready made, for CONNECTIONS and for
black dresses.

reunions. They are made in fine netting
