bad intended Co speak more of some
costume that are not quite such startling
innovations and that have the appreciation
Of the sensible contingent. one very beau
tful dress for "a tall and -tatue-gue young
lady was made Of pale pink bengalinc-
that Is 20 say, the upper part of the skirt,
which was fitted closely 20 the form except
in the back, where there were some gathers,
was Of bengaliue, the rest was Of crisp,
rusUug taflrta, and over this was an nc
Gordon plating Of pink chiffon. This WAS
headed by band Of black lace insertion.
The waist was round and covered with
plated chiffon and cut square In the neck,
with a fiat border Of lace The belt and
buckle that went around the waist were Of
gold The sleeves were loose plated falls
Of chiffon and were left open to the Shout
der A fan held by loops OF pink ribbon
completed one Of the prettiest evening
dresses Of the season.
There was another very handsome even
ing toilet adapted for grand dinners As
well as for dancing. The skirt was Of Opa-
line silk flashing into all the cOlOrs Of the
opal as the wearyr moved. Round the bot
tom was a fun peIis-e Of white chiffon, and
over this was "a festoOned hOuuCe Of white
oriental lace, the points held by small but
terly bows Of ribbon TO match the princi-
pal color The waist was Of chiffon lace
and the silk formed the waist itself The
chiffon and lace were draped over it. The
balloon sleeves were Of flame colOred velvet
edged with lace.
Another dress worth mention was worn
by a young lady just making her first en-
try into society. The underskirt must have
been fine swiss muslin, as nothing else
could have given the same effect. Over
this were set 20 gathered rutiles Of white
crepe lisse, reaching from the waist to the
feel the edges hemmed and having one row
OF Tom Thumb ribbon of pure white sewed
on them. The waist was a simple bebe,
with a bertha formed of three rows of the
same crepe lisse, with ribbon sewed on the
edges There were no sleeves, but on the
shoulders were large rosettes Of the Tom
Thumb ribbon with many ends, which
hung like a fringe down over the arm.
There was a white ribbon tied around the
waist, ending in short loops. Long white
GLOW 3 and a white feather fan completed
this tasteful gown, thaJ looked IKE nOat-
