HOME GOWNS FOR YOUNG LADIES.


Two of the very prettiest dresses !
have seen this year were made on 6
model that any one could follow. One
was of hunters green faille cut prin-
cess, with the upper part of the waist
filed in, and the sleeves made of apple
green crepe de chine. The corsage had
two very narrow silver braids outlining
the PEASANTS bodice, and straps Of
hunters green velvet. A narrow belt
and sash ends were made of apple green
ribbon. This color can be worn only by
a pure, peachy blond. In different
russell browns, blues or any other be-
coming color or material it would be
quite as taking dress.
The other was Of cadet blue CASH
mere, with pretty passementerie Of
black and gold. The dress was cut en-
tirely en- princesse. A very odd and
graceful effect was obtained by drap-
ing a width of white crepe de chine
from the bust to the hips, and then let
ting it fall to the bottom of the skirt on
each side. 1t is very simple and yet
gives quite an elaborate appearance.
The sleeves are balloon, with the fore
arm covered with the passementeries.
This, however, is not necessary, and
they could be plain or Of other material
IL prseerred.
notice among the new evening and
dancing dress materials beautiful new
silk tissue. 1t comes in all the evening
colors, and among them pea green and
apple green, two shades that light up
beautifully. This tissue is plain and
striped. The plain is lighter, but the
striped gives very fine effect, and much
variety can be brought out by different
ways of cutting the tissue. 1t is sitter
than chiffon and stronger than tulle, and
makes the ideal dancing dress.
The prettiest slippers in the world are
seen now for dancing. They are OF white,
pearl gray and black, as well as Of some
delicate tints, and are made Of undressed
Kid, with rather high red or black heels,
and the toes round up to the pertest little
point as if they were just ready to twin
kle off in frolicsome dance and could
hardly keep still. Some few have fine
steel or pearl beads worked on them,
but the most are plain. The plain ones
look smaller on the feet.
White silk stockings are now the new
est and prettiest. There are those Of
other colors, but white, with dainty
null skirts, with their plums ruffies, are
quite too pretty for anything.
There is a strong leaning toward hand
crocheted lace for trimming all under
garments now. Hamburg edgings are
made by machinery and have become
too common, imitation laces do not wear
well or look well after washing, and
real lace cannot bear many washings,
and hand embroidery has not the light
ness that seems to belong to the fineness
of finish necessary to underwear. Gro.
cheted trimming is strong, durable,
pretty and has an unmistakable appear
ance of patient hand labor, so it is now
the trimming. Yokes and sleeves to
chemises are made of it, insertions and
ruf1ies for drawers are crocheted, and
it surely is the right thing in the right
place for once. Dainty baby ribbons
are run through the meshes and tied in
bewitching little knots.
