In spite of past predictions, the bo7-
dered robe seems to have taken fresh
lease of life.
A much admired lace pin consists of
row of three diamonds set between
double rows of sapphires.
The latest cut in skirts has six pieces,
which, sloping sharply toward the belt,
give the desired fare at the bottom.
Fleurettes, not much larger than a
pea, are strewn in tones of amber, old
rose, crimson and blue over black
background.
A fashionable CANAL is made of almond
she'll cloth, drapcd at the shoulder and
trimmed with pleated pelerine, mounted
on an inset embroidered with silver aud
gold.
Sleeves of black silk null, jetted gal
looms, as we'll as bands of black mara

high favor for decorating light evening
gowns.

around the upper edge of half open
bodices for dressy evening wear, or are
set diagonally across the chest aud bor-
dering the extreme edge of the sheath

What could be pretticr in the way of
q morning coiffure than little cap of
gauze, with plisse5 edge falling over the
hair, while the plain side is gathered into
a pulled crown, a coquettish bow of vel:
vet being perched upoa the front.
The larger proportion of corsages con-
tinue to be made with the high, close
officers collar. There are, however, q
few that are cut tride low and are fin
ished about the neck with ruche of
tulle, silk muslin or crepe de chine.
Although the fastenings of dresses are
mostly invisible, many new buttons have
been brought out. Pearl and mother of
pearl are to be bad in all colors, and
stimulated jewels of every hue play their
part, also all kinds CT jet and much
turquois.
1t is quite the fashion now, if the arns
are pretty, to leave them bare from elbow
to shoulder with evening dress, the
white gloves which have had such
struggle for feminine favor fitting
smoothly to the arm and reaching no
higher than the elbow.
Velvet sleeves are still used, but those
of shot silk are newer. Jockey caps fin
ish the upper part of the sleeves of the

epaulets and full puffs or gathered frills
that stand erect on the shoulder are seen
on the handsomest imported costumes.
Black grounds with colored polka dots
are to be Us much worn next season as
last, and curious large hoops and rings
were among the new patterns which were
jealously concealed. Black lace, with
the bouquet patterns wrought in colored
silks, are also among the new designs
which are on their way.
Dainty little dresses for children are
of crcpon in delicate colors, pale blue,
pink and straw color, with silk embroi-
derry at the top Of the hem, and button
ing on the bretelles. The latter are
often of chiffon, aud makes the fairy
wearers of the tiny frocks look even
more airy and angel-like than usual.
