A PARTISAN NOVELTY.

The Russian Costume New Gowns For

A real novelty is the Russian dress
recently prepared in Paris. 1t is made

covered with steel metallic spots The
bodice is made as jacket of the Rus
sian cut, very full in the basque, and
bordered throughout with chinchila.

being dden by belt of Cossack de-
sign in flagree gold and silver, having
a large center ornament and pendant
ends. The sleeves are fastened to the
elbow on the inside of the arm with
steel buttons
French women, it would seem, for the
time being, have ignored almost any
mater al, save wool and velvet, and the
choice of gowns made Of the former pre-
dominates An especially pretty ex-
ample is made OF gray pole de chevre,
the front covered with large distinct
designs in black Amsterdam weaving.
1t is fan plated at the back, wi tn lust
sufficient draping n the front breadth
to soften the outlines OF the figure.
Long basques and Louis XIV coats have
much to recommend them In many
cases the junction of the basque and
coat is hidden by black guipure. A
brown vicuna, with pr est beard spots
the size of half-dolar is made up in
plain skirt with leather guipure trim
ming. The sleeve is full at the top and
tight at the VIZ ST. the bodice pointed
and all trimmed to match.
A pointed chiffon with black spots
makes lovely gown for evening wear.
The material is so thin that the spots
look either gray or black, according to
the silk skirt worn beneath Carton
crepe. with the handsome white silk
embroidery picked out with gold thread,
forms beautiful front for tea gown.
The crepons of the sottest, prettiest
shades are very taking A dress COM
posed OF delicate pink and of the palest
green crepon is made up over pale green
silk, with apple blossoms and trim
mings. Nothing could we'll be prettier
for evening costumes than the newest
and finest kinds of embroidered lisse.
Primrose lisse EN- bro dered with prim-
broidered with white silk and gold
thread, can not be riyaled.
An evening dress most uncommon in
sty is Of black embro dered gauge.
The bod &C is loosely draped across in
front and is almost covered with black
silk drops These are repeated on the
skirt, the front of which is full and
gathered into large diamonds. and at
each gathering thread are lunches Of
