slightly, from the tip of one ear TO the other.
But wasn't sorry that she hadn't changed
the style, for it was the one that suited her
face.
A very young maiden has chosen the
pretOest, simplest gown in the world for
her favorlte. and by so doing has pro-
claimed herself mistress OF the art Of robing
herself. The gown is made OF blue crepon
and Is trimmed with velvet several shades
darker. tbs made all in accordion plaits,
from neck to feet. The skirt has no trim
ming whatever, but simply spreads out
prettily all about her. The corsage is gath
cred bepeath a high crush belt Of velvet,
which fastens at the side, and is adorned with
three velvet choux. The leg-o-muttop
sleeves are velvet to the elbow, and over
them falls a plated rufile of crepon, stand
ing apart In front and caught with two vel
vet bows. The neck Of the gown is cut
little low and round. adding to the already
soft and simple effect
Crepon is the proper material for the
coming days. It is so very cool that It is
just the thing for the rising temperature,
and yet it has sufficient body TO give
dressy, not tilmsy, effect. All the trous-
seaus now in process of making have much
crepon among the gowns. The fact that it
Is veryreasonable imparts added charm 90
the material, as well as all the delicate,
pretty shades in which one can buy it.
trimming for gowns is an exhaustive
subject, and an important one You can
buy your material for little, and calmly re-
fleet on how economical you have become,
and how much you will save on this gown
And you can 60 out the next moment and
buy few yards of passementerle with
which to trim it, and return 20 find thai
you have gone several dollars beyond your
limit. o, passementeriel what havoc
have you worked in the pockets OF womenl
How quickly have you drained their purses
aud how meagerly have you compensated
them for the loss of their precious gold! /

did not often have ''sale.n and
so l stopped TO read the sign
Reduced to S4,n and to examine
what it referred to. All l saw was a pile
of tiny three-cornersd pieces OF passe-
menterie, not particularly handsome, of
dull, ordinary coloriug. | passed along
down the counter to lind another bargain.
This was half-inch wide passementerie that
could be secured for the amazingly low
price OF 81 per yard. But, though 1t is per-
fectly ridiculous, these prices we're actually
low. Narrow passementerie runs all the
way from 81 to SIS per yard, and il you
would find the limit of extravaganza you
would need to go into the hundreds. So
that ordinary mortals look elsewhere, as a
rule, for their trimmings.
And there are, belle We me, iunumerabe
other materials just as pretty and quite az
effective as passementerie. Good effects can
be had from twists and gatherings of ben
Raltne or ondine. Gallons COST q song in
comparison 60 passementerie, aud make
handsome trimming jet is reasonable and
briRhtens wonderfully that on which it Ii
placed, the beautiful fancy ribbons to be
had now are wonderfully pretty, and the
shaded and glace velvets, the rainbow silks
and the folds OF plain velvet make up the
list Of available trimmings. With these, of
course, must go a deft, clever hand, that is
able TO combine and make up becomingly
and bewitohingly. Given these, your
costume may cost you but little, and still
be able to hold ita own with the one all
wrought in gold and vari-culored threads.
Although we trim with bands and folds
and insertions and braids, the rufile holds
the day. The rufile is the thing for spring
and summer. anyway we do not want fat
ness; all the trimmings must be bright and
catchy. The tiny one is most used. OF
course where lace is the means employed
the rutfies must be wider and scantier, but
with ribbon, silk or velvet have them very
short and quite full Then add velvet ohoux
or full roseJtes. EVA a SCHUBERT.
