Another style of gown dispenses with
the inner robe and closes up to the
throat in one piece. 1t has the same
fulness at back and front, which may
be in box on side pats or gathers, and
the s2ma ciinging at the Sides, which
may be by plain fitting or by appiquing
full outside down onto a close lining
with passementerie. Such d gown of
Nile green velvet has a half corselet
under the arms, reaching from the full
ness of the front round to that of the
back, in Oriental colors and mock
emeralds. Another one of wnlLe cio,n
has a similar corselet in green and
gold.
Still another design has the front and
back in two pieces and decollete over a
high under robe, that is seen down the
sides. The front is loose and the back
has vatican. The two pieces are
bordered and may be embroidered all
round. a superb gown made by Rouff
is of deep yellow velvet embroidered
with seed pearls over pale willow patel
mousseline de sole.
These effects can be produced with
Inexpensive materials just as we'll as
cloth, Cr5pon, flannel, will make beauti-
full gowns with the aid of a little taste.
New TRIMMINGS.
The new ornamentations, called
jour, so popular, eeds a word of des-
cription. 1t seems to have no equiva-
lent name in Engl sll. 1t is an all-1yer
pattern stamped out to leave the ma
terial pierced with holes. The fabric
thus cut is laid over another color
which is seen thr ugh the holes and the
result is an effective color contr s..
When the material is heavy as velvet
or cloth, these patterns may have the
edge eft raw, but n the case of a soft
material like foulard, the edges are
button-ho.ed.
There ale to be had in the shops some
silks and cloths thus ready cut, par
tlculariy black, but a jour ornament
has become 50 much the fashion that
means have been devised to enlb the
amateur to do it at h me. Little stamp
ing machines nav been inven ed fur
nj n ng great variety of patti rms;
they cost very little and ae as easily
handled as a pink 6 machine.
Anoth new idea is to cut patterns
out of lace and APP clique them on the
gown to fill all so is of spaces. Thus
the velv I tea g wn cited above which
has a triangular lace figure fl ing Oh
corner of the front. This ruth 5 cut
II g up of lace might easily be IN de
expensive, but cheap laces can be u cd
wieh almost as much effect as costly
ones. Coarse guipu es are available for
this purpose and limitations of va ious
point aces. Such amateur made rim
mings have more beauty than he ready
ma de ones supplied by the manuflc-
turerS.
To illustrate the use of these trim
mings is house gown made with a
blouse Of dahlit silk and a skirt of
dahlia velvet. The blouse has the
front and sleeves stamped ont p io,lr
over cream, and the edges button
holed. The skirt has each side laid
over in deep plat towards the front
and the front breadth so framed in
has a triangular applique of cream
lace in each OF the lower corners. An
other skirt for a house dress has two
bands of trimming down the middle of
the front breadth that Turns at the bot
tom each way and pass round the
skirt. This leaves two corners at the
FOOT that are f1lled with lace appliques
Breakfast NegiiGe.
Morning gowns are made of an Ell
derdown woven wool with outer sur
face of silk apparently quilted. 1 do
not know the name of this adorable
material, but believe it is available
everywhere and inexpensive. With the
collar and revers and even the length
of the loose double breasted front,
faced with long-haired white Persian
lamb, The effect is ravishing. Or it
