nation, with sulphurgauZe Spangled
with small spots and bOrdered with
black Jet beads, as designed. Round
the jacket and on the draper
les of the skirt there are
ruches of the same sulphur
gauZe. The remainder of the costume
is in faille striped with dark myrtle
green, ivory white and pale green, with
design of sulphur roses OH pale gray
foundation, most artiStically arranged.
The elbows are ornamented with rib
bOns to match, while the waist is pref

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DRESS
was of cream white faille, brocaded
with silver blrebells and foliage. The
bodice was of the faille, opening over
vest of cream lace and satin-Striped

and cut in Princesse style. A third
gown was of paleSt aZure-blue corded
silk, resembling bengaline. but with a
very lustrOus surface. This silk was
figured with pale pink half-blOwn roses
and tender green foliage. The
petticoat was of very delicate
golden olive tint of velvet, this striped
with an embroidery of rose vines and
roses. This dress was also en- princesse,
and the bodice was cut in V-shape in
the neck, the edge bordered with old
point lace, apparently yellow with age.
A dinner gown was alm0nd-cOlOred OF
toman silk, striped with golden brown
velvet, this stripe brocaded with
primrOSeS, devoid of foliage, but
showing rather aggressive through
natural-loOking stalks. Some becoming
models of the directOire style are ar
ranged with separate bodice, to the
lower edge of which the redingote skirt
is attached in a seam over the hips.
This insureS more perfect fitting gar
ment, and affords just as wide range
for varied skirt draperieS. This style
of the directories is also effectively
applied to tea gowns, and the usual
accessories of broad revers, large
buttons and wide cuffs are extremely
becoming TO slender figures. A taste

Silk-faeed revers which turn back
upon the shoulders and terminate half
way down the front, the space below
being filed with three large ANTIQUE
silver buttons, similar ornamentation
being applied to the wide silk cuffs.
The skirt back of blue falls in easy
folds to the foot, and is gathered TO the
lower edge of the jacket, joining the
white front in plain seam at each side.
SOME OF OUR NICE GIRLS
have got naughty idea from the ballet.
You remember, don't you, that COM
mon freak of ballet and burlesque cos
tuning on the stage is to put long
skirt on an actress, but to slit it at the
side, from hip to hem, so that at every
step the leg comes eoquettishly into

aud tiptoed for glimpSes of the
nimble girl in her dressing room.
when their tickets entitled them to
far fuller views of her OH the stage,
so these slit skirts cause more of a SEN
sation than do an entire absence of
skirts. Well, that's the thing copied
by few OF our social bellies. OF course,
they don't actually wear divided skirts
and disclose their nk-stocklnged
walkers, but they simulate the effect.
