saw one costume made up In this COM
bination which was so very pretty and po-
etic that IL merits detailed description.
The lower skirt was made plain, axcepf
for q narrow rose plated ruffle OF clover,
purple crepon pinked ON the edge. It was
not over Q inches wide. The waist and
pulled sleeves were Of the same color, but
this pinafore overskirt was OF the shaded
green, and the bottom was cut IN deep
Loaf shaped points. Around all the edges
Of this was another rose plating, but 10
green. IL made q lovely gown and q grncea
full ono.
The entire line of purple. heliotrope, H.
lac, mauve and clover are among the prct-
test Of the new colors. and one of tho
shades will certainly prove becoming to
everybody. The making Of combinations
with green Is by no means new idea, for
ms far back as lef5 tho fashion books were
full Of praises for tho purple garments
but the puppies and greens of those days
were raw and sharp, and those OF today
are toned In some delicate manner, so that
the effect Is really harmonious.
One Of the prettiest dresses / have seen
had rose pink silk fishnet lace made up
over a bright green taffeta slip. The out
or skirt was gathered To the waist and fell
from there in ample folds to the bottom,
where Ii was bordcred with several rows of
very narrow moss green velvet ribbon.
The waist WINS polka shape, and from the
front 10 back points there was laid a pan
nier draEery of the lace. Upon the corsage
there were set tiny bows OF the velvet RIB
bon. and around the upper edge OF the dou-
BILE ruffle which served for drapcry there
was vine OF Byzantine Three rows Of the
same narrow velvet were sewed around the
lower edges OF the bertha. The sleeves had
one high puff, and another one mt the ell
bow adroopine down, and between them
tho isut Ssils held IN iIy lands Of thcvclvct.
The whole dress was as lovely ms o rose
and showed what an effect may be pro-
duced by judicious use OF oolors.
These flshnet laces make very handsome
gowns, and they look much marc costly
than they are. Many Of them are made up
over some gown that has served for enc or
more seasons. The iridescent silks OF last
season have been found most useful for
these, and the effect OF the changing tints
half yelled by the net Ia very beautiful.
Many OF the fishnets have flornccs OF some
other lace set round the bottom, and some
have insertions Of . contrasting color ar
ranged upon them in various ways. One I
remember was OF silver gray mesh over
gray taffeta, and there was a pannier dra-
perry Of fine black chantilIy. There was q
fiouncc Of the same, and the sleeves had
fun caps Of the lace. IL made AN elegant
and refined costume, particularly rs it was
