seams except the under arm seams, the
fuIlness being adjusted by some five or
six rows of gathers, pretty we'll crowded,
extending from the waist line up. The
neck is finished with high standing COL
lar and the sleeves mutton leg punched
in gathers on the shoulder and wrink-
ling down the entire length of the arm
button closely at the wrist. OF course
so simple gowning derives its sole
beauty from the correct hang of the
skirt, the perfect fit of waist
and sleeves. Quite as simple and more
attractive is o walking gown of striped
cheviot-dark, blue and white. The
petticoat is Of plain blue, the outer
skirt of striped blue and white
raised little in front by slight loopings
to show the underskirt, and has the bot
tom trimmed just above two-inch hem
with fine row of half inch braid, white
or blue. The coat bodice has jaunty
pockets on the breast and hips with
notched lappeIs, and is held to its place
on either side of vest of the solid blue
by four large buttons. The sleeves are
a loose coat slightly gathered on the
shoulder. A coarse straw toque trimmed
with a simple spray of white flowers and
long looped bows of blue ribbon, the
loops brought well in front complete
very neat street costume.
white lawn easily made and
yet pretty, has a round skirt with
graduated tucks, eight in number, well
spaced grading from one and q half
Inches to three quarters of an inch. The
basque is long, at least six inches over
the hips, the front and back is cut out Y
shape and filed in with solid embroidery,
sr1ai for rviF
nate bands of tucks and inserting The
place of joining is concealed by frill of
embroidery, and this gives the effect of
pointed cape.
A pretty model for ginghams, challies,
fouiRrds, ETC., is in this fashion:
The back ofSthe skirt is laid in narrow
plaits, the front is draped and Topped at
the left side under long bows-aud- ends
of ribbon of the two colors Of the dress.
The bodice has a wide collar of ging-
hams, trimmed with f1ne-plaited ruff1e
of the same. Loose sleeves, put in high
at the shoulders; deep cuffs, made cross
wise of the stuff.
Something was said about the fad for
mephistOphelean cOlors, and, though the
combination is q bit startling, it is
also attractive and especially charming
when worn by a brunette. Cardinal
colOred nun s yelling and black lace are
used TO form the following model: The
skirt is quite plain, very closely plated,
and trimmed at the bottom by a full
ruf1Ie OF black lace; above this, several
rows of very black ribbon are run
through the yelling. The bodice of veil
ing is full and worn under another of
black brocade cut in point back and
front; on the left side, it is left full, not
being taken IN at the seams, and termin-
ates in long pointed ends which fall
nearly to the feet. Full-plaited loose
sleeves with lace ruffles.
The fancy for jackets and capes shows
very little diminution and there is reason
for their popularity, as they are easily
made, requiring little material and are
so readily adjusted or discarded as the
temperature requires. Quite amusing
was the story the lady told Of her Figaro
jacket so prettiIy braided with scarlet
and gold. She Iaughingly said that she
made it from the best part of her hus-
band s broadcIoth trousers, and when
she slipped it over plain dress the effect
was quite magical.
NOTES.
Gold braid is put on gray dresses and
silver on brown
The new steel and silver "art''
jewelTy is just now very fashionably
worn.
If you want to seem tall and command
ing, carry white parasol and wear
white hat or white aigrette.
Bodices Different from the skirt will be
more generally popular than they have
been for many seasons p asst.
The new sleeve in wool dresses will be
oF
with guipure of the same shade as the
material. The effect of this new conoeit
is rich and stylish.
Bodices and basques, finished with a
side effect, whether double breasted or
la Russo, suggest the pretty rosette or
bow of ribbon pinned on the shoulder or
collar, under the ear.
