must not be mistaken for an ordinary
belt; it is fitted to the figure, curving
outward as it descends, and the skirt is
cut down to receive it and it is sewed into
the skirt. At the same time its upper
edge is high and straight round and takes
the place of belt.
The bodice is a blouse of canary-colored
silk foulard that puffs a little over the
wide belt with an effect to which l called
attention here two weeks ago. This short
full effect gives the waist below a small
look without drawing in the corset
strings. The blouse has narrow galoon
edges of black and red. Very chic; very
simple and elegant.
Made after the same model, another
gown has the skirt of broken plaid in
the same color, and the blouse of red
foulard, cut down pointed in front over
an inner skirt effect, strapped horizon.
tally with black galoon.
Still another has the blouse of the
same material as the skirt. 1t, however,
falls off In character; the blouse needs to
be of more decorative material. All these
skirts have only narrow border OF three
overlapping cords on a tiny cluster OF
folds.
In cloth gowns this waist gore is also to
be seen. Thus q chocolate brown cloth
has bodice pointed like these yokes and
fitted into the skirt in the same way, the
skirt and bodice being sewed together.
This gown is completed with a short
figaro jacket Of green velvet edged with
galoon, velvet collar band and a shawl
bow in front with long ends.

now to this little frock, which is hardly
beyond the means OF anybody, a black
velvet cape-which will be a charming
wrap all through the spring-gray or

Matinee musicales are all the rage, YOU
know. 1t is a little entertainment you
arrange on your day at home. One or two
singers, and perhaps a dancer or story
teller, or other parlor entertainer; tea
chocolate, warm punch if you like, dry
cakes and bread and butter, and you have
an impromptu cafe concert all your own.
1t is awfully Jolly. Women adore this
sort OF variety entertainment, but they
don't like TO go to them abroad Mrs.
Coolidge, the wife of our minister to
Paris, has been entertaining her friends
thus with famous dancer.
THE FIRST SPRING CLOAK.
Something long and ample one chooses
FOR the first wrap in the demi season.
Felix's model is OF chocolate brown loose
woven twilled cheviot. 1t is gathered
full onto yoke of green vel
vet. of the lovely cool green of
early vegetation. The yoke is cut
straight across Under the arms. The
back is kept a little narrow in effect by
having the gathers drawn toward the mid
die and slightly fitting under the arms.
Above the yoke there rises wide collar of
the velvet double and shirred several times
near the seam to give it stiffness, so that
it rolls over like the calyx of flower
round the face. The sleeves are straight
aud full and gathered into loose bands of
the velvet. This garment is very elegant
and distinguished.
Let the sallow woman who can t and the
fastidious woman who wont, wear tan
shades take note of this new chocolate
color. 1t is dark and soft blush in tone.
and they will find it both becoming and
refined.
