a way of slipping with sweet grace into
just the right spot. We need never ar
range them, as we must do with ribbon
or lace or velvet; they simply fall into
their places of their own accord. So
that all of the latest evening hats and a
great many others, too, for dress occa-
sions, are plentifully adorned with
blossoms. Velvet ones, of course, are
the favoritcs, for their colorings are SO
rich and the petals are SO soft and nat
ural.
But must finish about my dresses.
The next one that excited my admira-
ton was of palest green silk white chit
fon, white velvet ribbon and pale green
ribbon; black lace, black velvet and jet,
and all these various materials were
combined in most pleasing fashion.
The pale green silk prcdominated, of
course. The black lace was observed
in three little 1ounces at the feet, in
deep hounces at the shoulder puffs, and
in another deep flouncc around the de-
collete corsagc. The white chiffon
formed Il ruche above the black ruffles
on the skirt, a finely gathered bodice
and big slecve-puHs. The jet united
the white putfs and the lace sleeve-rufflcs
headed the full slanting black vel
vet ceinture that started under the
right arm and ended at the waist line
on the left, and hung In deep fringe on
the lower edge of the same ceinture
The white ribbon joined the green rib
bon, and together they stood out in
small bow on each shoulder, in another
on the right ARM in still one more on
the right side of the bodice, and finally
in one of great length at the left side,
falling from the velvet Is your mag
ination equal to the task of adjusting
these details and constructing a bcauti-
full gown therefrom? If not, gaze upon
the pictured whole.
One more gown, and-as the minister
says, and as the people often hear with
sigh of relief-I am done.
This is one for stately matron, and
is made of velvet of rich ruby hue. The
gown, of princesse cut, opens wide to
admit n black lace front, cut very low,
and filled in above by fichu of rare,
creamy lace. Little puffs of the same
lace are on the shoulders. The full
sleeves are caught in twice by plain
bands, and then allowed to fall freely.

Oh, such beautiful dresses have been

There was one of pink gauzc, lightly
embroidered with silk dots. The skirt
was drapcd to some little extent, and
bordcrcd at the foot with two broad
bands of roses, separated by n fine
plating of pink chiffon. The bodice
was the pretty part of it, however, for
over plating of chiffon which formed
berthe were laid two thick rows of
the same pink roses. One lay right
against the low-cut neck, the other n
little below, but curving up on each
side, finally touched the upper one on
the shoulder, SO that the plating could
fall loosely. Then over the roses, start
ing at the top band and running down
to the waist, were two full rolls of
plain chiffon, which widcned as they
fell, and eventually disappeared under
the arms, melting into the fullncss of
the waist itself. This little corsclct
was the chief charm of the dress. and
