dainties and which also display the gilt
teTing rings.
Among the adjuncts of the toilet, ne
cessitated by the universal popularity of
blouse bOdices, are belts, some of which
are made of silk with silver clasps Others
of fine stockinette over rubber cords,
still others of gray or white kid, with
gold or silver clasps. Some of the soft
leather belts are exceedingly neat and
attractive. The coin and ring belts of
metal are still seen, also those forming q
straight, unbroken band. Any belt,
however, is preferable to these, which
suggest hoop on bucket.
Slippers are more worn than boots for
evening wear. Suede slippers and suede
gloves are usual accomplishments for the
evening toilet, but the newer mode is to
wear slippers, of satin if necessary, to
match the gown. The slipper has the
pointed toe and high heel and is not very
low in front Silk bows as rosettes are
used i'll ornamentation, but they must be
small ones. The buckle is silver or gilt,
sometimes jeweled, and may be large
and square or smaller than those hitherto
seen. Small pompons of gold or silver
thread are occasional ornaments.
LACE DRESSES.
A lace dress, although likely to get
mussy, and n delusiOn as regards cool
ness, is regarded most partially, and
every woman desires to possess one.
They are made over silk slips coIored or
black. One of the prettiest IS of black
fish net over black silk. The pattern of
the net is large enough to admit the run
ming through of No. l ribbon. The dra-
perry at the back of the skirt is straight,
in, hnx
the top of each pIait being run
through with the ribbon to
within four or five inches of
the bottom of the skirt, where each rib
bon is finished by loop. The same eff
feet is carried out at the right side of the
skirt. The front drapery Is finished in
the same manner at the bottom, the left
side brought up in Vatican plat and
held in place by two large rOsettes made
of this narrow ribbon finished at the bot
tom with long double loops. The waist
has full fronts, run with the ribbon and
oTnamented with rosetteS, while the
sleeves are very odd and unique in their
mingling of the materials. A simple and
very pretty style is i'll black lace striped
etamine The back drapery is full and
secured to the waist. Each side of the
skirt at the top has three box plaits, and
from these, about eighteen inches deep,
is a Spanish flounce trimmed across the
bottom with three rows of inch wide satin
ribbon The front drapery Is long ana
straight on one side, the other side
caught up and tied III knot of the silk,
the lower edge finished by trimming Of
deep black fringe. The back of the waist
is surplice plaits, feather stitched, over
V of black silk, one side of the front
full crossing below the bust and finished
with narrow ribbon loops.
