Leading Ideas in Dress Goods. Flowers
and Toilet Accessories.
Thistles and bluettes are the flowers
of the season, and many of the bodices
are crossed by ribbon, sword belt fash
ion, or, as the French call it, "Sautoir."
Rucnes still appear on the hens of
dresses, but / am inclined to think the
"R ueau" style is newer. An excellent
example made was pink silk draped
with black Russian net, covered with
lozenges in black velvet. This at
the foot was caught up in festoons,
as you see some OF the fashionable
w.ndow blinds. Another black and
pink had the bodice differently trimmed
with horizontal bands of galloon. One
of the most lovely of the evening
gowns was a tilleul brocade, tho
front draped with crepe de chine
of the same tint. but embroidered
all over. in silk with tiny fiorets. The
5odice had the silk arranged TO cross
over chiffon, while on the shoulder was
a large frill of violet velvet. The dress
was laced al the back, where were coat
Dasques, opening to show the satin of
the same exquisite tint greer vel
vet skirt, made perfectly plain, lad
belt of green embroidery coming well
under the arms; the sleeves on the Up
per portion were chiffon.
The leading ideas are spots in fflmy
effects prod uced by the shaggy surface
Of the pattern, aad the astrakhan weav-
ing. Black designs on lighter grounds
are newer and more original than pale
surface with Is distinct motif of
deepe: shade. Winter dresses for
day wear will be made of wool rather
than silk, though sometimes there is
combination OF the two. The gowns
are none the cheaper on this account,
for the best of new woolens are costly.
A good example is n gray-grounded vi
cuna, soft, like velvet, but far more sup
pie. On this, far apart, is conven-
tional floral design in black ast-akhan
weaving. Another soft twill fabric had
q black crossbar check all over. with
brocaded foreated circles in SOME of the
squares. all shaggy and misty, the long,
black, fibrous hairs having the appear
ance of being combed on to tho funda-
mental color, such as pelunia. In Paris
this is made up as plain skirt and bod
ice, with high sleeves. accompanied by
a sleeveless jacket of a PLAIN color.
Some of the new cloths are printed with
vermicelli designs in red on black. and
other mixtures.
Bordered materials have beer brought
out in quite new gUise, and in such
fashion that the adornments at the edge
serve to border the hem of the gown as

had very narrow lines OF tiny pink bro
cade and p cots OF the same tone 1t tho
extreme edge. Another in rnouse-col-
ored diagonal. had three of the tiny
striped lines OF brown velvet divided by
motifs in wedge-shaped brocade- These
are novelties not to be found elsewhere.
Stripes are being treated IN quite new
fashion A blue ground was almost en-
tirely covered by graduated black
stripes, which, instead of being ar
ranged perpendicularly, were placed
horizontally, the effect being deepened
at the foot by black silk founces, with
French hens, which have come back TO
us. Snog-faked tweeds are fashiona-
be and for cheaper gowEs the speckled
wool serges, which, to 'jldge from their
wiry fiber, aaye worsted sI them.
