Some of tho Ideas in the Department Of
Dress.
For the moment there is fancy for
ever ything Russian, especially for jew
elry consisting of real eabochons set in
chased silver.
Some of the handsomest walking
dresses recently made by leading mo-
distes clear the ground all around and
have the seams piped with velvet, ga
loon or velvet
The newest lace pasques are long in
front and short in the back. They are
opened in front and mounted in plaits
and are usually worn with lace skirt
with Vatican train.
1t will interest those who have skirts
of walking dresses to renovate to know
that narrow putting of velvet quite
on the edge of the skirt is the newest
finish. Truly, it does not last long, but
it is easily renewed.
Belted waists with yokes and plas-
irons are favorite mode of the mo-
ment. Sleeves are full at the shoulder
and close along the forearm, those Of
tailor gowns being buttoned from lit
tie below the elbow to the wrist.
Added basques continue in favor.
They are, however no longer than they
were in the spring. They are cut to fit
| the figure closely at the top where they
join the bodice, but the lower part is
full and falls in easy folds all around
The new and elegant redingote
gowns recently imported are of cloth
and velvet. The long princess redin
cote Is of cloth with narrow vest Of
velvet The petticoat is of velvet, and
a deep shoulder collar finishes the neck
and falls over the tops of the sleeves.
Velvet bodices are much used with
chevron striped wool skirts. They are
made as short French coat with box
plated back and open over smooth
vest The edges are usually corded
either with a heavy cord or with some
rough goods, and often with Partisan
lamb.
Plain skirts are invariably accompa
MED by a jacket or coat bodice. The
newest are either of the short Etor
jacket type or are very long coat
reaching almost to the knees. AS rule
they are very widely opened in front
showing a considerable expanse of shir
front as well as tight fitting waistcoat
1t would seem that the reign of thu
vest in all it's varied forms is to be in
definitely prolonged. The blouse yes
is favorite with tailors and skillfully
managed it is very graceful under thu
loose fronted coat with which it i
worn The latest mode IN vests is 1
double-breasted cut-away, with singh
point, which is worn with a rutflet
shirt and a coat bodice.
Scotch tweeds are making their ap
pearance in every possible color an,
pattern and there can be no doub
about the continued favor in whicl
they will be held during the coming
season. They are figured in checks o
all dimensions, large, small and me
dium, in which bright colors are effec
lively combined with sober tints an
also in the waved, zigzag and brokel
lines that were first seen in the Frenc
woolens.
Tweed and shawl capes are yer
popular. They are long, reaching t
the knees or Whereabouts and are chiet
ly made of checked or plaid tweeds c
very light weight, and soft and war;
and of excellent quality. They have
single wide plat front and back an
usually an extra one below the wais
or a sharply curved seam to give tn
extra fullness. They are drawn in 9
the waist and finished with a silk-line
| collar and hood. Chicago Post
