Major D'Arlandes. like many another

portunity TO enjoy a little excitement
and at the same time to remind Louis
the Sixteenth OF his baffled ambitions.
He made a balloon ascension. which
ut that time was thought to DO q very
risky affair. The king promptly ro-
proved him for his rashness. Your

so on the circle that they fall in flutes

finished with "a long oblong bow.
The shoulders are slopcd to fit
over the sleeves, are slashed,
lined with MORE. and finished
with the Jet, A pretty gown Of bcret-
ted silk shot with wood brown, red,
willow green in n grecnish ground is
made up with rui1es of green chiffon,
headed with bands of green, overlaid
with black gimp. The lapcls are of
| green satin. and the long bows de-
pending therefrom are of black velvet.
The full material in the neck and on
the sleeves is chiffon, and the idea may
be carried out less extensively in cash
mere and silk for one of those drcssy
gowns the questionable finds
80 useful for small entertainments in
the winter season. The rufle which
crosses the front in a fcstoon slopes up
at the back to within about ten inches
from the bottom of the waist. This il
"A favoritc form OF decoration for skirts,
sometimes two or more bands or ruflies
following the curved line described,
and sloping up the back nearly to the
belt.
All sorts of the lacy gimps, both in
silk and jet and lace itself, are very
much employed in the new gowns, laid
on over II color. Brown gowns have u
finish of magenta overlaid with black.
Black gowns are finished with red or
green bands, covered with black. An
other thing IL might be well to a
right here, and that is, ''the accepted
volume of the fashionable skirt should
not exceed in diameter two-thirds of
its length" That is "a Paris tip. and
bound to be what the sportsmen call
straight. AS it is not easy to get ut
the diameter Of a skirt. IL may be adj
visablc to add that the approximate
diameter of anything is one-third of
It's circumference. Another solution
to the finish overgown idea is found in
a new model Of plain green cloth, sup
plcmented by II figured petticoat Of
matclcssc brown with an overlap OF
