also many pigue dresses with the skirt

The new silks to be worn during

urcs set in precise rows. Many of the
armurc silks are partly velvet, while
others are plush, the figures being long
raised pile Oh Il silk or satin ground Of
the same color. This is especially hand
some in black, prune, gray. and quaint
blue shades. The striped silks have
arabesque figures in graceful curves of II
dark color on lighter ground, as gen.
darme blue on old gold, prune on pale
rose or pink, cardinal or cream-color
The stripes are about an inch wide, and
are separated by the mercst pencil-line
of twilled satin. These figured silks are
to serve as ut present for parts of cos
tunes that have plain silk or satin for
their foundation. The arabesques or
armure velvets will form the scarf

basques and polOnaises, and it may
form the entire front breadth of the
skirt, or serve as two Tapped panels
down each side, or else it may be- cut in
from three to six bias pieces that extend
the entire length of the front Of the
skirt. A double box-plait of silk will be |,
arranged between the bias lengthwise
bands. " "a o. |
To brighten up black silk suits for |
young ladies a great deal of color has
been used during the summer, and will |
in winter dresses. The gay
est design is the Scotch plaid trimmings |
of velvet in regular clan tartan patterns,
that form paniers, borders, vests, 4 wide |
belt, cuffs, and collar. The gay Stuart
and Rob Roy plaids that have a great
deal of red and yellow are liked by br,l-
nettes, while the blue and green mixed
plaids are used by blends. Dresses
made for less youthful ladies have the
of soft twilled silks, brOcatled
in Persian patterns of many rich colOrs /
and of most intricate designs. As these
silks are soft, they make graceful
full draperies, such as shirred
vests, or surplce scarfs, or the new
shirred g,iimpes that are inserted ike
plastrons in squares or in points. The
only Overskirt then consists of a short
apron of the gay silk, that is in
full paniers on the sides, and is tied be-
hind in a pulled bow, or else fiat sash
with long ends. If this leaves q long
plain front of the lower skirt uncovered,
It is no matter, as all that is required by
style is simple border founce, or else
