Twill prove to you that we are merely
trying TO introduce white for afternoon
GOWNS. We have quantities of cream
cloths, and am sure that fashionable
women will wear these gowns trimmed
great deal with dark velvet and furs,
in This way relieving the light coioring
of the gown. The French women first
started ii. and last season in PaaiS many
OF the women wore white cloth gowns
on their afternoons At meme. Then one Or
two had trucks of this description
trimmed with velvet and fur. and drove
in the Bots. After that it was all easy
matter to suggest such gown for the
American women who were over there.
Here it will be novelty. and if the
mOdlste is clever and her costumer
beautiful, the white fruck Of cloth will,
you see, Miss Madison, be one of the
successes of the winter. but il this case

Another gown l saw there was made
Of blue figured silk, with dull rose
figure through it. The bodice had large
puffed sleeves that reached to the
elbow, and the entire waist was covered
with yellow chiffon. The SKIRT was
plain, ami all exquisite girdle was tied
around the waist.
A stiff. lettuce green silk attracted
my attention. and the pattern of blood
coiored flowers on the green silk was
most fetching. 1t had pointed bodtce,
and the front of it was pale green
chiffon. accordiou-piated. The silk
sleeves were also covered with the chif
fon III plaitings, and they were nnished
around the wrists with Uiood-colored
velvet. This same colored velvet was
used for collar.
A ball gown displayed with much
pride was made of the heaviest dull
cream satin. The skirt WAS absolutely
plain. with the organ folds at the back,
and 1t was cut so we'll that to trim it
seemed TO detract from its grace and
beauty. But the waist. all! that was a
| rare triumph of artistic co!oriug and
clever fashioning. The sleeves were of

has been my good fortune so see. To

that these pink OF any co!ored chiffon

Why not try that idea of having a
yoke made to go with low-cut gown?

benefit.
