A novel French dress is of black
gross-grain and Chantily lace,
combined with a wide striped silk
in black and white. The bottom
of the skirts is finished by two
knife pleatings of gros-grain, and
above this is a killing of the stripe,
beaded by a lace founce. The
bodice is a polonaise of the stripe,
with Fedora front of lace net. The
sides of the polonaise come down
like wings on the skirt, straight
along the sides next the front and
draped high up far to the back I'M

triangular effect to the sides which
are trimmed with double frllls of
wide lace. The back of the skirt is
laid in wide box pleats held out by
hair cushions, and over these is a
wing-like drapery Of lace, set on the
back of the polonaiSe.
A very odd toilet is Of plain blue
satin, and shot satin brocaded with
blue velvet flowers. The round
skirt is of brocade, finished by a
pleating of plain satin at the foot.
At the back there is a wide breadth
of brocade, forming a broad box
pleat, edged on each side with
three wide kits of plain satin. The
front drapery is round apron Of
plain satin, falling almost to the
edge of the skirt and caught up on
the sides, far back, in close plcats,
forming panier drapery. The
bodice is of satin, laced in front
over a vest of brocade. The back
is cut in square tail, and on this
are four folds of brocade, which
serve as a heading to the box pleat
in the back, which is left loose and
buttons up on the bacQue under
these fold.

pale green India cashmere and dark
green velvet. The short skirt is

ion in front, and in loose puffs at
the back, the open space between
the two being filled in with three

of the skirt. The bodice Is of vel

Medicis collar fitted in with lace.
Half long sleeves Of velvet, finished
by full lace rufiies. a pretty sea-
side toilet is of blue serge, trimmed
with plaid of blue and red. The
skirt is tucked in clusters Of three
each, headed by a bias band of
plaid and is then laid in shallow
pleats. The front drapery is a
pleated scarf, with straight ends
arrayed in loops and ends at the
back. The jersey basque has a
plastron of plaid and fastens with
small, dark blue buttons.

Marguerite fashion, with straight,
full skirt, slightly gOred in front
only, with deep hem, and bands of
ribbon velvet around the skirt; full
round bodice, worn with a Swiss
cirdle of velvet to match the trim

especially for misses. This is made
in all material, flannel and surah,

added for older girls, but is by no

THE TERRY STYLE OF DRAPERf
The Terry style Of drapery, viz,
a long, round overshirt, caught up
carelessly on one side by being
drawn through a loop of ribbon, is
becoming very popular with slen-
der women, on whom it is effective

Letters from Paris say that the
best dressmakers are giving up
padded sleeves, and content them
selves with merely holding the
sleeve in little full on the should
ers. Coats with long tails falling
beneath tho skirt draperies are
very fashionable in London and
Paris. TUNES pointed in front and
