spring Dresses.
SILK and wool costumes with en-
sx- 'siary and ve.yet garniture are the
ata ,ls suits displayed at the openings at
the large furnishing houses. The new
blue sale which is best known as por-
ce'.is ,.Le is the color that probably
Gin most fayot, as it is produced in
ali sac s.yl:;i fabrics. It is shown
among the imported dresses in gros grain
for the box plated puffs of a skirt with
dove gray cashmere for the Trianon
apOionaiSe, and gray open-worked en-
sbroidery for the trimming. It is also
shown in cloth dresses of every quality,
beginning with those made in Paris, and
deliberately ornamented with black
brandebourgs and braid on the skirt as
well as on the basque, to the simpler
dresses of nice camers hair, or of the
cloth finished fannels that are neatly
made and sold for 1926. The suits at
medium prices are the most satisfactory
of all ready made dresses, because they
are of simple styles, with most of the
outlay for the pure wool material. The
round skirts partly laid in deep plaits,
and is plain like kilt in front, with a
row of buttons and mock button holes
down one side, and draped apron
overskirt permanently attached at the
belt The basque has single-breasted
or else diagonal front, with Byron col
Lar. square cuffs and box plated backs.
Blacks, brown, deep green and cadet
gray fanneis and cashmere suits are
similarly made.
More expensive than these are the CASH
mere and French buntings with self
embroidery, or else wrought in white or
IN q contrasting color. Only enough
embroidery is used about the neck,
sleeves and across the tablier or paniers
to give character to these dresses, and
the edges of the basque, as also of the
gathered flounces of the wool goods,
are cut in the narrow scallops or leaf
points that are so often seen on Worth 8
handsomest dresses. These points may
be lined with a gay color to brighten
dark dresses. as one of the prettiest black
wool dress shown had geraninm red
: Surab facings. and another of leaf brown
Sa7f ecru Surah.
Ut is the caprice of merchants this
season to cali all soft wool stuffs nuns
yelling: but that is a very expensive fab
ric-known by its inch-wide selvedges
and ladies who have little money to
spend will content themselves with their
all-wool bunting that are now sold with
embroidered edges for twenty-five to
stWenfy five dollars. There are also domes-
y bic thin wOOlens for fifteen to seventeen
dollars. sold in dress patterns of nine
yards of double width. with nine yards
Of embroidery. The rival trimmings for
I this low-priced embroidery on plain
dresses are many rows of soutache or of
the wider tubular braids, and the lined
scallops described above.
White wool dresses are imported with
open embroidery of white silk, and are
ariMmed with bronze green, blue, or
copper red velvet about the neck and
waist. The skirt is laid in deep plaits
/. ,at are pressed-not sewed-and the
e wide embroidered selvedge trims these
Is!aits. Small balls of white wool fall
tcom other plaitings; the basque opens
aver vest fastened by gilt buttons, and
there are straps of the velvet instead of

OF velvet Chuddah cloth and twilled
woods are used for seaside dresses of this
KIND.
The revival of colored faille as well as
black is an accomplished fact, as this
: fIuely repped silk is even more used than
lin 'Surah in the combination dresses
% ought over from Paris. There are,
however, few dresses made entirely of
fsille, for this fabric does not drape soft
Iy, and cashmere of the same shade with
IN embroidered selvedge is preferred for
! the dranpry while tho haSOIe and lower
skirt are of faille. A pretty design for
slch a combination has Greek drapery
of the cashmere; the faille skirt is with
out flounces in front, but is laid in a fan
cluster of lengthwise plaits on the left
side. where it is disclosed by the draped
cashmere. Two plated tiOunces cross
,t.,e back, and the tunic falls behind in
treat double box plaits. The faille
basque is laced in front, pointed behind,
and has two side-plaited frills sewed to
this point. each containing two breadths
of silk, and one of these is three-eighths
of a yard, while that resting upon it is
only half as deep. For such dress,
s:al-brOwn faille and cashmere are used,
and the whole may be enlivened by a
little pale blue satin or MORE introduced
In the middle of the Greek plaits on the
lower skirt, lining the plaitings at back
