There is Il great diversity in the SILK
fabrics this season, and in many OF these
the idea is MORE. Most OF the silks nave
satin stripes introduced OF different
widths and of iutermiXed colorings. A
new design has shaded stripes about an
inch wide, in two or three tones on
white or black ground, and sometimes
shot Five music lines, each OF differenC
color, are another feature, ami one OF me
new shades is the china blue. IN pro-
ldes the Louis q tnZs patterns, WITH
large shells, ont OF which flowers seem TO
pour, are t king the place of bows, and
are rather newer than the baskets. Such
patterns appear on black grounds in one

basket, with oats, roses and marguerites;
but white MORE will be worn for we'd
dings, striped with satin. Black molres
of a similar make are striped with coiors.
Some handsome silks have large tassels
brocaded in white on yellow, forming

ceded on the material. Those who care
TOR brocudes at all, and want really
useful black gown shonld take
advantage of some pretty Drocaded satin
in several patterns. The brocaded vel
vets on silk and satin grounds are nearly
all in geometric styles or rcurionsly waved,
like the rpples left by the ocean on the
sand.
Women's watch pockets are always
difficulty to their mOdistes aud tailors.
Our tickle sex has grown tired of the
bangle watch, which is indeed not very
feasible with cur very long sleeves. The
newest idea is 10 insert tiny pocket in
side the gown just over the chest, where
it cannot affect the fit or cause an un-
slightly little bulge. Short chains are not
worn except those little idealized fob ar
rangements about four inches in length
and finished with small ball. These are
pinned up to the dress above where the
watch is inserted. Long chains, such AS
our graudmotners rejoiced in, are coming
in. lust as are other forms OF old fashioned
jewelry.
Moss trimming which comes in Deauti-
full shades and shades off so beautifully
is lovely though perishable. Edoing a
plain skirt it gives most charming
effect.
The outline of woman's figure should
be like that of classic jar, slim at the
neck and at the ankles and taperng
slightly at the waist, The reason that all
women do not look just this way is be-
cause they will wear petticoats. and petit
coats are destructive 10 the symmetry OF
the Jar, Pelttcoats have flouuces upon
them, and flounceS make the dress set out
around the feet, and so a woman. instead
of looking slender at her ankles looks
very broad indeed and big around, so that
her figure more often resembles Il beehive
or pyramid than that of a classical jar.
If a woman Is large in the bust ana large
i'll the hips she should not allow her waist
to taper to any great extent, because then
she destroys her classical outline and
makes herself look like an hour glass or
IL wasp. To quote from m artist who has
made a speciality of women's figures:-
1.-THE principle which should be adopted
is that of balancing the expansion of one
part of the outline by such co instruction
or another part as Is felt to be in due
proportion.p
There is Il fabric for petticoats which on
the surface is soft like lambs wool. but
the back shows it to be OF stockinet
manufacture. L is admirably warm and
soft, and is made in pure white. light
pink and light blue, and sometimes
striped. Others of the more expensive
flannel petticoats are worked nearly ali
ever in an open guipure pattern in silk:
but beauty is thought of before utility.
