For dinner and reception dresses moth

For dresses for these occasions, the Louis
Quinze coat, with straight, plain
trained skirt, is a favorite style. The
material is often cloth, with sleeves of
VeiVet, the entire coat and sleeves being
one mass of cut steel embroidery or Jew

tuli trains, are made very soft and mar

ter. This material is also found with
large flower designs on a creamy white
ground. Dotted laces are used for friIIs.
There are also bodice trimmings of bands
winch branch out from the belt over the
front OF the bodice. Girlish toilets of
white chiffon are trimmed with rosettes
oil ribbon. Crepe de chine is still popu-
lar. q pretty use is to drape it sash
iashlon over bengaline, the ends being
fringed and embroidered.
House dresses are cut with perfectly
lifting backs, the princess fronts having
the effect of loose draperies in many
cases. Most of these fasten inyisibly on
the left side and are trimmed with dark,
rich bands of appliqued velvet. Wool
ere on in very dainty shades is favor
lite material. The sleeves in these
dresses are most quaint. Tight to the
elbow, above which there is q delicate
puff, is very pretty way of making
them. When plush is the material used
the cut is straight and plain, silk cord
and tassels being the only adornment.
Black tea gowns are frightened with
scarf shoulder draperies, tying in q loose
knot across the chest, lined with bright
yellow satin. The waist is in this case
belted in with similar scarf fastened on
each side. Crepe de chine tee gowns are
seen with soft frills of fancy white
chiffon or muslin edging the neck and
front down to the foot of skirt Box
plated ruches lined with q contrasting
color are placed on the foot of the skirt
of many of these tea gowns.
Tea jackets are bidding for popular
favor, and their beauty and convenience
gives reason for their popularity. They
are usually MADE over u tlght-fitting
lining and pleated into belt that may
be pointed or straight as fancy dictates.
The bottom of the waist Is usually 1n-
ished with pleRted rufils of the surah
about FIVE inches wide. The sleeves have |
their fullness held in by pleats, aud the |
yoke shape is made in the same Wav, the |
pleat finished with feather stitching. |
When the material is procade the trim
ming is often of lace, which also forms |
the ruffle and finishes the bottom of the |
sleeves, which only reach the elbow. |
style of finish is to have three bands of |
inch-wide velvet ribbon, one extending
round the points back and front, the |
other two fastened at intervals in the
seam and at the pointed Juno
ton in front a bow of the velvet with
cut steel buckles, the sleeve finish above
the lace the same. These jackets are not
as expensive as an entire new gown and
serve TO freshen last winters skirt.
Cut steel Is favorite ornament this
and rivals tortoise shell us an
ornament for the hair. In the styles of
hair dressing there is quite es much
latitude allowed as in gowning. If one
affects Medici collars the hair must be
worn high, while the Greek cut of the
gown admits the low coil. 1t is quite
English to run a tortoise she'll dagger
through the hair, which takes the name
of Castilian because, doubtless, Spanish
women have shown skill in the use of
this weapon. From time to time it is
announced that false hair is
discarded aud women will wear only
their natural locks. AS locks ars some
times scarce and also arrangements not
sasy for unskilled fingers, new hair pieces
make their appearance,
not only for Nold women, whose
ocks are thin, but for young
women who have frizzled their front
ocks till they haven't any left. For
