pink brocade. 1t is wrought with floral
| designs of its own hue and divided at in
tervals by heavy corded stripes of deeper
| and more salmony pink. But the lovely
turquois of a blue seems even more en-
trancing. 1t is striped with white and the
stripes slowly widen and slowly narrow
| again, half concealed by the white vines
| that run profusely oyer. Such brocade
is beautiful, combined with delicate pearl
! passementeries. A brilliant green startles
you. 1t is a wide satin stripe.
lightly specked with white and alternated
with stripes of a darker green, closely
worked in a ring pattern of white. The
brOcadeS and richer pearl trimming, in
the deep creams and old colds, are the
ideal additions to such coloring.
A silver-gray has great palms worked
in silver thread, over which clusters of
leaves, in pale green, are thrown. A
white is covered with interlaciug cres-
| cents in white and grass-green, inter
spersed with small dots.
A lovely shot satin of pink and white,
is closely waved with white and pink.
The lines are run so closely that the
waves stare out bravely, Notwithstanding
the fact that they are of the same tints
as the ground.
A sea shell pink, moire and satin stripe,
is sprinkled with big isolated peoples in
the same delicate tint.
Concerning the cut of the winter even
ing gown, but little can be stated as yet.
Suffice it that the earlier ones will follow
the changes indicated in the street cos
tunes The short round waist or the
waist elongated with pretty, fluffy extras,
will be used for the time being.
For trimmings velvets will still be the
favorite, even as they were last winter
The popularity of the glace and the brill
iantly shaded velvet is dying out, and
there is a greater demand for the plain
velvet of rich pile. The shade should be
striking enough to bring out the minor
tints in the brocade. All the beautiful
passementeries, in gold and pearl, in
fringe and fine lace-work, will be more
extravagantly worn than ever But as it
is only the select few that can afford
these costly bands, 1t makes little differ
ence to the great majority whether they
are fashionable or no. Some fairly salts
factory substitutes may be secured in the
shape of fine gold passementeries, but
even these would scarcely be judged rea-
sonable.
At little dinner party that Lenox
gave last week, one or two new gowns
showed themselves A pretty heliotrope
satin had "a skirt that fared well all
around, and just cleared the floor There
was no train. Deep cascades of lace, on
the skirt, were headed by velvet bows.
A bodice plated in the pointed velvet
belt was run with three lace insertions
Beneath the belt small hip pieces, richly
embroidered in heliOtrope silk were
added. edged with lovely Point de Venise.
A Louis XIV. berthe, lying low on the
neck, was similarly embroidered and SINH
larly edged. The short sleeve puff.
terminating far above the elbow, was
finished with a loosely hanging large cuff,
embroidered and lace edged.
The other gown that was new
lovely maize color, prettily trimmed
with lace borders and white gauze
A wide border of lace was at the
foot, and another, much narrower,
few inches above. On the bodice,
which crossed surplice fashion, two choux
were placed at the bust, from which mar
row insertions ran down until they were
caught in the gauze belt. The sleeve
puffs were trimmed with lace bands
and headed with three gauze ruff
fes More charming than the gown,
however, were the maidens locks Her
beautiful grave face that yet had an ex-
quisite sweetness about the mouth. lust
suited the plain parting Of the hair in
front, and the soft waving Of the locks
over the brow, and the little clusters of
.curls over the ears. The rather short
hair al the back had been gathered into
single graceful knot high on the crown
