SPRING WRAPS N PELISSE.
plated collar of velvet edged with sequins.
1t closed down the front under a ]continu-
Gus jabot of the sequin trimmed velvet, and
a tiny bag was carried made of velvet and
the dress material edged with velvet. This
pelisse is intended for use at such social
functions as will permit of keeping on ones
hat and wrap.
The use of MORE increases, and that su-
perb silk is often seen either alone or with
velvet or even wooden fabrics. A very styl-
1sh coat basque was made of faience blue
velvet trimmed all around the full skirt
with diamond patterned jet passementerie.
hi sleeves were of black MORE, with two
deep plain jockeys, the lower one of velvet
and the upper one of MORE. There was a
stylish arrangement of fiat BOWS of black
MORE ribbon over the shoulders, ending in
two long ends of the ribbon tied in adroop-
ing bowknot on the bust. The high collar
was of blue velvet, with two rows of Jet
around it, and a tiny MORE bow at the
throat. This made a very stylish and hand
some coat n a useful one for all dressv
purposes.
In the same store where I saw the last
named coat there was a cape made of black
MORE antique bound with a bias band of
velvet. Above this was a line of jet bead
ing sewed directly upon the material. The
cape hung low upon the shoulders over a
square yoke made of shell puffs of faille.
There were a black velvet collar and revers
of velvet, also beaded. This was faced with
velvet and could be thrown back. Across
the front, falling from the yoke, there was
a deep fringe of Jet. The cape is intended
to be left open. Around the neck was a
auted collar of velvet edged with a narrow
binding of moire. The cape was short,
reaching scarcely to the waist line, and was
cut in the full military style.
These are but a few of the STYLES in en-
ploying MORE for wraps. Gowns are very
often made of it almost entirely, but l think
MORE is most effective when used in COM
bination.
1t seems to me that the present fashions
are the most sensible and comfortable that
women have ever had, and no one can say
they are not artistic and beautiful as we'll.
l saw at a tea recently some very pretty
frocks for young girls, who were there in
force. One lovely girl wore a dress of pink
and cream shot taffeta. The skirt was quite
plain around the waist. About IS inches
below the waist a hounce was set on reach
ing to the feet and headed by a fat band
of moss and reseda trimming. At the bot
tom there was a rufle of 10 inch lace, head
ed by the same trimming. The waist was
French, with a yoke made of outstanding
ruff1es of silk between bands of the fiat
trimming. The sleeves were balloon and
had deep bretelles made of the lace, which
tapered to point under a twisted belt of
moss green velvet. A prettier dress for a
young lady could hardly be designed.
An elderly lady wore a peach colored
faille dress, with a ~pinafore overdress of
r~11rn ,a1r1A --sA1 nv
yoke was plated closely both front and
back. The fur was set upon the corsage in
corselet fashion and held in by a draped
belt of the faille. The small bonnet was
made to match.
There was another costume worn there
that was much admired for it's quiet ele-
gance. The dress was of dove colored peau
de sole, made with a perfectly plain skirt,
except for a narrow bias rufle of the same
