nucb liked for trimming fine beige

The ends are fastened down under OF
namsnts or passementerie. Putiings
in the back Of skirts are raised high
with the short waists and jackets now
employed. Drsperies are rather mar
row, as there Is usually only one
breadth Of goods used for this pur-
pose, and the side pieces are plated
straight. These plaitings are still 10 use,
particularly when the aprons are plated.
The aprons reach to the lower part of
the skirt. and are separate from the
pufings in the back to show part OF
lhs dress on either side. Waists with
these skirts are either belted around the
body or have basques surrounded by
loops or small flaps covered with droop-
ing ornaments. There are draperies Of
skirts drawn together on the ends and
finished with tassels or with dropping
ornaments Of any kind. The ends Of
scarfs are also tied in double knots and
ffinged on the borders. Striped suits
have no trimmings on the skirts, as the
stripes are arranged In many ways to
replace them.
Small colored jackets, with vests, are
Ill the rage. They open over tuile or
foulsrd plaitings. Large jackets are
also very becoming, particularly when
trimmed around with small dropping
passemsnterie ornaments in the shade
Of the goods. For special occasions
Russian jackets are to be the style.
One of these, Of cloth and velvet, is cut
Ike . loose waist, with seams only
under the arms and down the
centre Of the back. The waist
u crossed and drawn in around
the body under wide belt
Of gilt galloon. Where the garment
opens In front is . small velvet plas-
tson. The tight-fitting sleeves are cloth
to the elbow and velvet below. The
velvet part forms deep cuffs, bordered
with gilt galloon. The Same GALLON
