the Waste, may impart the quaintness
now desirable. Flowers are used with
more or less profusion or ribbons may
complete the picture. Oder people
wear 5rocades united with velvet, plain
silks or satins Of new finish to which the
light materials Just mentioned are often
added MS accessories, while here espec-
tally arc employed those elegant passe-
menteries and embroideries whether of
silk or metal or both, which are spec
ial feature Of the time.
TRAINS
which are more worn than formerly,
are either square or round, Corsages
show all possible variety as to the cut
of necks and every shape and height is
in style, a dressy effect being given by a
half low cut filled in with lace in eases
where protection is desirable. Sleeves
are of all lengths and shapes. 1t is a
favorite idea to make them of some
light material that Grapes the corsage
also and while on this subject it may be
added that in many instances, the
waists of gowns are SO draped as to
quite conceal the outlines of the form.
This is a consequence of the classic turn
that Fashion has taken and is very con-
venient for unsymetncal figures. Be-
meath outer additions however, waists
are close fitting and the majority even,
still made to display proportions. Prin-
ces or pointed backs lead now that bus
ties are not worn.
EVENING SHOES
are of undressed kid TO match gloves
and tan remains the leading color be-
cause it can be worn with any costume.
Pale gray matches pale gray gloves;
white undressed kid also corresponds
with white gloves, but change is given
BY shoes that match the costume, while
the gloves are tan, gray or white.
Stockings match shoes which are half
high for dinner or afternoon or slippers
for evening, both with sharp pointed
toes and Louis Quinze heels. Elegant
afternoon and dinner dresses are OF fine
cloth braided and sometimes in such
extravaganza as to completely overrun
the material. For braiding in general
there is almost Juror and it can hardly
be misplaced, appearing on silks, satins
or velvet iii evening gowns
NOTES AND ANSWERS.
Louisa NJ" Corsages show point
at the back and with straight front
having belt to the side seams are fash
ionabe and one of this kind would suit
your material. New costumes are made
with points back and front and small
paniers. You can safely use Clark :
Mile End Cotton as a substitute for sew
inc silk, because it IS so elastic, smooth
and strong. and the more so because
dyed il new colors. Dressmakers here
use it to large extent and the white is
popular for Undertaking,
MARY Il" The hair is dressed low
with broad brmmed hats, but with
bonnets may be either high or low, with
preference for the former. For evening
it is almost always high and with adj
dihon of metal, amber or shell orna
ments. Semi precious gems arc popu
lar among those who can afford them
while very wealthy people make a dis.
play of diamonds and other rare jewels
Evening boas of lace or flowers at the
Opera are often now replaced by those
of crepe lisse or tulle. These delicate
projections to bare necks are in exceed
ing good taste aud are really quite ser.
viceable as well
Supper jackets of black velvet made
without darts, but fitted u the figure by
ii deeply curved seam under the arm
are relieved by coorcd silk fronts and
with sleeves to the elbow, are worn
with under sleeves They are effective
substitutes for dress waists that have
become shabby.
GirdIes of gold or silver galoon are
worn with evening dresses made in En-.
pire style. Lucy CARTER.
