The woman in front of the curtain often
wonders how it is that the woman who
treadS the board can so artiStically arrange
her draperes that, without any effort. they
seem to fail in graceful lines, and that the
sweep of long plain train is so per-
feetly attained The pleasure-seeker does
not conclude until much wondering has been
done that the actress pays as much atten-
ton to the material Of her dress as she
does to it's making or management. She
knows that some fabrics are as unyielding
as can be imagined, and that to expect
grace from them would surely be demand
ing grapes from thistles."
For home wear these softly-falling drap-
cries are chosen by fashionable women,
who quite comprehend that the wool lends
itself to any figure, making less angular
the slender one. and, by judiciouS arrange
ment, cOncealing too great an inclination
toward embonpoint. There are woods and
wholesome have never seen anything but
cotton with such a flavor of wool perhaps
as the manufacturer deems desirable. This
cannot be said however, of the
CLAIRETTE CLOTH,
which either in black or white assures one
OF the silk and wool that goes to make it
what it is-a cloth so artistic in its lines
that modern Galateas choose no other for
their classic gowns. In black the Clairette
is much worn by those who find grena-
dimes too thin in appearance. or who OBJ
ject to the amount of lining required for it.

at the font and sides. but in the back
falls in the straight full folds APP
proved by the reigning high priest of
fashion. A pointed tablier reaching to the
edge OF the skirt and then gathered up in
full plaits on the hips has guipure lace
around its edge and breaks the monotony
of the plaits. The basque is short. it's
pointed outline being singularly finished
with puff of guipure net. which, while
adding to the size of the wearer in one way,
makes her waist seem much smaller; high
collar and
ROLLING CUFFS
of the lace are the only other garniture, and
brooch of FURNISHED silver is worn at the
throat. Quite suitable for the house, this
costume yet has its adjuncts for street or
driving. and they consist of black lace
bonnet trimmed with roses, and black
lace parasol.
The white Clairette (all of these goods,
are, of course, the Priestly make) consti-
tutes most charming evening dresses for
watering place wear. Having more firm
ness than nuns yelling, being richer look
ing material and retaining positions more
naturally, its popularity is not strange.
White Clairette and velvet, or entire cos
tunes of the Clairette with lace trimmings,
form the white costumes most approved,
and very justly, too, by the New York
women.
The cIews gained in plot or story by a

of herself, that fan, handkerchief gloves
and all the small belongings. as well as the
entire dress, are redolent of it, and it's faint

be made offensive by too much being used,
but she who has the ability to choose fine
perfume is not likely to err in this way.
1t is said that sensitive, nervous tempera-
ments, the type special to American
women, seldom choose coarse, strong or
cheap scents; that..their use seems to be con-
fined to women in whose veins flows alien
blood, or who have dulled their sensibiIi-
ties in this respect.
White sailor hats trimmed with fans of
red Grape are worn and make spots of color
on the background of the avenue.
Long silk gloves matching the prevailing
color are au fait with cotton suits.
Just now when out driving few New
Workers are making the mistake of carrying

use at such times, and, in deed. become al
most ridiculous, inasmuch as the sun shines
through them directly on the face of the

other error is the red velvet
parasol; woman carrying such parasol

The high collars of striped percale

striped cuffs to match are certainly pschutt,
and with the cloth suits are very appropri-
