Turning back from the elbow are deep

The tiny carpotc worn with this
pretty rig was of green net, spangletl
with gold and pink beads, and q great
number of the cut beads hung along the
scalloped sides of the crown. Right
in the back, without any apparent

Very pretty, indeed, these mautlee
are, and veIy becoming to almost every
one, for they make tall woman look
graceful, and short one appear tall by
giving length to her waist and dignity
to her neck.
Dress collars arc worn either very.
very high or they arc not worn at all.
There is really no medium. OF tho
high ones, the lowest are two inches.
The highest are nine inches in the back,
and as high in front as . wOmans chin
will permit.
The dresses that have no collars at
all are cut round in the neck and
finished with q cor'3ing or are male
slightly v shaped frors and back. Tie
latter style is very becoming to ladies
with full throats and graceful necks.
And the round finish with coriing looks
well upon young girls who have fair
, white skins.
As q finish to the very high collars,
chiffon is used upon gowns and wraps,
and mantles and cloaks. The chiffon Il
gathered SO closely that it makes lit
tie thick putting, and flares over the
edge Of the collar, setting OF the hair,
neck and chin in the most becoming
manner.
Feather trimming was worn for this
purpose early in the spring, but it is
too warm now for the feather trim
ming, on gowns at least. and chiffon
must take the place OF it.
A bunch of court feathers arranged
similarly to those which ornament the
hair when one goes to bow down before
Englands gracious queen, Is placed
upon the left shoulder Of . ball gown
that has no sleeves and 50 little bodice
that it is not worth while 70 look foi
any of it above the bust line. At the
right shoulder q bunch of ribbon is used,
and on the left there are the feathers
and q jcweled ornament.
Feathers are 80 fashionable that sea
side bellies, regardless Of the fact that
they soon come out of curl, use them
for trimming fans and for pinning upon
any article Of dress that may seem able
to bear il.
For instance, stylish girl. having II
her possession bunch of blue feathers,
bunch of pink feathers and bunch
of white ones, will appear on three sue
ccssive days adorned with feathers Of Z
different shade. One day the front oi
her bodice will have dear little wav

said plume will be blue and the third
day il may be white.
In this way the ingenious girl secures
