PARTISAN DINNER DRESSES.
| Dinner dresses are OF rather more severe
| style than that for gran0 evening parties,
| concerts and dances; but if their material

trimming often render them maryels al
elegance and harmony of coloring. The
SKIRT IS made with square train Of moderate

A dress of the above style is Of nlusb

cHEMIsETTEs
Are fashionable, worn with any kind of a
costume. The imported ones are usually
of linen lawn, linen cambria or the finest
quality of cotton cambria The high collar
is attached 10 the chemisette. and fiat tie
of the same material is the correct thing to
accompany it. This style is worn with
plain cloth or wool house dresses of all
kinds Nothing makes neater or more
stylish looking change TO dress than the
wearing OF a chemisette with it. There are
some women, however, whose compilations
not being clear dare hardly venture on
wearing so much dead white near face and
neck. For dinner dresses these garments
are made OF dotted net. lace and illusion.
The dress is worn turned in further, and
sometimes down as far as the waist line, so
that the chemisette has the appearance of a
vest. Plants are not fashionable, nor are
they in taste in these thin materials.
They should be shirred at top and bottom,
and have the lace borders on the sides
