The Simple Girdle skirt-Two-But
Gloves and Other FaI LaIs.
The girdle skirt is pretty and simple
The bodice in this case is put on first and
the skirt is drawn over it and hooked on
to the bodice The place where the two
join is hidden by eirdle of black silk fas :
tened at the side and hanging nearly to the
bottom of the dress. The skirt is plain
with the exception OF few tucks or a
few rows of stitching at the DO tom. The
bodice has corsage of embroidery A
pretty dress made in this fashion was of
electric blue cloth with black embroi
derry. This dress suits @ slight figure
best. There is a tinge of gfrlishness
about IL that would bring a maturer
wearer into ridicule
Remember that bouffant effects are
quite out of date. Dress skirts to be styl-
ish must be long, scant. witt draperies,
when there are any, straight and fla. In
q word, this is the slim womens season.
Those inclined to stoutness must do what
they can to increase their apparent height
and decrease breadth. Much can be done
by care in the selection of the petticoats
worn. Abolish skirts gathered on bands
aud wear in their place those sewed on to
plain, deep yokes.
Crescent net is a favorite material for
yelling dresses in appliques. yellow
satin dress yelled with this material had
one of the popular zouaYe Jet bodices
high Jet shoulders and was cut high in
the neck.
Dress sleeves are rapidly growing high
er and wider.
A whispered prediction that two, and
even one, buttoned gloves are 20 be short
ly in fashion does not seem so improbable
as was mt first thought, for If the length
of sleeves is to increase, that of gloves
must decrease. At present four button
gloves are mostly worn with tailor made
garments, and the long ones reserved al
most entirely for evening. Another vague
prediction Is the downfall of the very
high collars. An attempt is being made
to revive the heavy drapery on the hips
which was once worn and known as pam
niers. Some women like the idea because
their waists don't appear small enough
with a strdightly cut gown.
Meltons and French washing cheviots
are desirable for travelling dresses.
Rosebury woolens are in neutral colors,
with Persian designs forming diagonal
stripes so that though made straight,
they give the fashionable bias effect.
Some of the India woods have borders in
lovely oriental OBJECT, in high and low re-
lief, shaded silk and cut velvet in arabes-
ques or embossed work in Moorish or
Greek devices.
The oldest designs are seen In jackets.
Many OF the new NANTES ut the figure
almost as tightly as jackets.
Colored stones are paralleleo by col
ored stones. A superb bracelet expands
in three lines one holds pink pearl, the
centre a black, the third a white pearl
These are all of the same size and are ar
ranged slantwise, accompanied on each
side by large diamond.
Nothing new can be said of diamonds,
but all that has been said heretofore
might be repeated with truth. They are
omnipresent. In necklace recently seen
from the single row of large diamonds

tween each of these hung square
emerald at least half inch in dimensions
surrounded by diamonds
The pOionaise is coming to the front.
Some editions of 1t are pretty enough.
An authority on fashions said the other
day that nothing was more graceful than
princess polonaise on a slight figure.
Nine. Recamier, the Deyonshire and
other ladies of history and romance are
used daintily set as sleeve buttons. The
other side is an oval and chased button
In addition to the Venetian wool fab
RIGS, clairettes, buntings, henriettas,
chuddahs, etc, there are many new
weaves.
Pccadilly woollens have an ombre
effect. Carnivan stripes of soft English
wool are outlined with bands OF benga-
line.
Gold hat pins are a desirable addition
to the toilet. They are unpretentious, the
head being knot of woven wires.
A new method OF using watch pend
ant is to have it hang from large gold
buckle.
