| 1 b hard TO describe the draping Of
gowns this season. as there seems 10
be NO particular style. At . recent
display the following attracted much
attention: A light pink sicilienne was
! . mere succession Of graceful folds,
mo edge anywhere. opening Just in
the front to show narrow panel Of .
flns reproduction Of an antique POM
,padour brocade. the ground cream,
the flowers large and subdued in tint
bat wonderfully true to nature This
was bordered by squares Of ribbon
matching the ruching at the feet.
A delicate celodon moire had Q
straight flowing train. raised into
little additional fullness at the back
of the waist, The front having ruche
ct the hem beneath . pancl Of pearl
embroidery, with many pendent drops
and an admixture Of satin Of the
same tone.
A very stately looking dress was .
rich rep peach satin, the back, in sim.
pie straight folds. composed Of the
same satin. scattered over with gold
brocaded bouquets. The effect Of the
gold on this beautiful tone Of peach
was beyond all description. A small
piece Of the same peeped out In front
between the plain satin, which was
carried down on one side and then re-
verscd. thus forming a double panel.
The bodice was made entirely Of the
brocade.
A cream crepe de chine fell appar.
entity where It would about the skirt,
but always gracefully. while tho
bodice was crossed from the left
shoulder by breath Of the stuff,
which seemed to lose itself in the side
folda The sleeves formed a series Of
puff to the elbow, clinglng to the
arm.
Another cream dress was trimmed
with 0 deep tone of bright yellow,
after the time Of Louis XIV; straps Of
the color crossing the bodice from
beneath the arm and fastening in the
center with buckles, the skirt describ-
ing wide diagonal cascade in front.
Velvet Wed with the moires in point
of fashion; but Of co urse. with matrons
only. One gown of brilliant geranium
tone had q Jet panel down the center.
and : terra-cotta velvet gown had Q
panel Of brocade. Still more lovely
was q heliotrope velvet with panel Of
fine steel work.

with fur A white velveteen was
trimmed with chinchilla, and . green
and coral shot moire with beaver In
very broad bands A cream sicilienne
was trimmed with an arrangement Of
Impian feathers, the metallic greens.

cunningly draped 90 - to show
glimpses Of an underskirt Of Jet en-
broidery worked in . scale pattern.
