about tine bottom OF the plalded draperieS.
The modiSh. long skirt for walking
dresses has led to the abolition of the foun-
dation to secure ightness, as they must be
held up. The skirt is now lined with mus
lin and has i stiffened hem 10 prevent flap

One of the most charming models of mil
liuery art is 4 fiat bonnet composed en-
tirely of rubber stems, representing rose
vines and the leaves of the same, twisted
with wreath effect The low crown is
outlined by narrow band of gold Let, and
the garniture consists OF a cluster of Amer
lean beauty roses.
Embroideries on dresses are used more
in curves than in straight stripes. The So
called love mesheS large knots of EN-
broidery in a-iour effect-have become
fashionable They run around the skirt

On the newest gown, chiffon, thickly
gathered or shirred in several rows, is put
about the neck of gowns and down the
front, being used exactly as the feather
trimming has been. The chiffon is exceed
insly easy material 10 handle, being light,
soft, silky, yet sufficiently firm in texture
TO hold its own when placed in standing
rows of gathers or shiIrings. 1t comes in
all colors, and its soft pretty effect is be-
coming TO the face.
The oldest of all the odd styles of bon
nets is this: \ piece of tulle is cut square.
On the edge of a very slight hem placed
around it border consisting of single
line of tiny flowers without leaves is placed.
This is put upon the head so that one point
of the tulle droops like what is called ker-

two remaining points fall at the sides be-
