Charming Jackets for House-Wear and
Other Pleasing Novelties
Very becoming to thin arm is the
sleeve made with succession of slant
ing puffs on which bands of ribbon are
laid so as to form point ON the upper
arm. This sleeve ends in a frill.
Young married women and young la
dies wear tea Or afternoon jackets in
stead of tea-gowns, although there is no
law against their wearing the latter,
but, for change, the tea-iacket is Just
the thing.
There can hardly be a more charming
affair of this sort for home wear than
the Sta tea-iacket. The body of the
garment may be of similar material to
the skirt, or it can be made of any pretty
foulard or China silk. The back is
quite plain, like dress skirt; the
front cut in jacket fashion, OPEN
ing over waistcoat of lace with
crossed straps of ribbon, ending in a.
bow at the waist There is lace col
lar, with a iabot on each side of tho
waistcoat, of the same lace, ending in
plain revers. The sleeves are slightly
flowing. cut up on the under seam and
trimmed with lace.

three yards of silk and four of lace.
Another pretty style of indoor jacket
very becoming to brunette is made OF
red satin, with fichu drapery of black
figured net drawn from the shoulders TO
point in front of the waist, and draped
again from the shoulders at the back
and knotted or tied in loops at tho
waist. The satin under-sleeve is COW
cred by an accordion-plaited oTer-slecve
of black net. short in from; but increas-
ing in length toward tho back.
Blouse hodices OF black lace On lin
ing of rcd, brown, bright copper or lilac
silk will be worn during the autumn
and early winter. as the lining makes
them warm enough for house wear.
They are worn with different skirts,
but look best. perhaps. with plain
black lace skirt.
Another charming style of bodice for
young ladies. suitable for almost any
material, is full and cut rather low in
in the neck, where ii is gagged in sew
eral rows. This gauging is repeated at
the waist, the corsage being Short
wasted at the back. but forming slight
point in front; full ffounce of from four
or five-inch wide lace forms n BASQUE.
and is sewed on under the edge of the
gauging. Bretelles of ribbon pass over
the shoulders and meet in front in a
point above the gagged point and end at
the back in short sash loops and ends.
The full sleeves form large puff. drawn
in about the elbows with ribbon tied
in bow at the back of the arm.
When sash is worn with the blouse
bodice it is finished off in long looms
only, in preference to the more COM
N onplace arrangement of loops and
ends.
Sashes, by the way, though exhibited
in every fabric, are usually of the TUT
ed silks. With the bouffant style of
dress, MORE, Turc satin and brocade
sashes were in favor, but with the pres
ent almost straight lines softer sashes
look better.
What has been dubbed the Louis
Quinze sash is very long, very wide.
very elegant and very expensive. It
must reach quite to the foot of the
skirt Therefore if the wearer is tall
the sash must be fully five yards long
