may be more elaborate, and need not be
IN the white of the ball gown. Pinks,
pale greens, blues or yellows, are equally
appropriate, although the satin of the
dress should be softened by chiffon or
other youthful trimmings
The street gowns differ from others in
no respect, except, perhaps, that their
trimming is less elaborate than that Of
the ordinary woman. Jet should be used
sparingly. if 1T all fur is always en-
regle; satns are effective and fashiona-
Bile and all braids but richer pasemen-
teries are employed with good effect.
The trimming should be confined to one
or two materials-fur and satin, satin or
braid, and so on. The costume which in
cludes fur, passementere, jet and satin,
in its composition should rot be relocated
to the debutante. Her tailor-made gowns
should be of the simplest-plain covert
cloth, serge or other twill, or cheviOt.
Or she may dispense with this entirely
and make up her street and shopping
dresses in fun skirts that clear the ground
and spare one the necessity of lifting
them, and in round waists that have satin
faced revers; or the fashionable blouse
boX-pleated waists
The debutante has a crepon gown in
brown or other quiet color, richly trimmed
with velvet and satin; a plain cloth coat,
a short velvet jacket, golf cape, an opera
cloak, preferably white, a rainy-day cloak,
and one or two fur creations in the
shape of collets or boas. The hats are
generally large. although she wears a
small toque for walking if it does not
detract from the youthful appearance Of
her costuming.
Then she must have all of the small
details looked after-boots and shoes for
this and that occasion, velvet collars and
belts for plain costumes, bicycle and
gymnasium suits and such lingerle!-un-
til it is no marvel that the tea, and the
crowd, and the wardrobe, almost turn
her young head.
1t is bargain time again. 1t seems
always to be bargain time, by the signs
in the shops. But just as this period Of
the year, when everyone has supposedly
secured her winter wardrobe the offers
in dress materials are well nigh irresti-
BILE When one sees material that was 81
and more a yard offered for 70 cents, it
is not difficult to be persuaded that
new dress is an absolute necessity. There
are lengths offered-enough for a cos
tume-in fine shining cloth, for $3.50; in
cheviot and twills. for So in fine covert
cloths for the most fashionable weave,
for $3.50. and pretty checks, all wool, as
low as Is cents yard There are zibe-
lines and boucle effects, for little more
than half what they were three months
ago. The stun is oTuercu anu sent HOIiIe'
and it is only after the purchaser has
taken il to the dressuaker that she be-
gins to realize that her 50 bargain may
vet cost her dear. For, after all, what
is outside covering TO the lining and in
terlining? Aye, there's the rub. Material
that costs you 50 cents a yard IS inter-
lined with horse hair that costs from
az to e5. horse hair so narrow that it
takes seven yards to stiffen 1t. Then,
there's your lining. OF course, you VIII
--o,, content yourself with percaline, cost
ing a little less than a dollor for the five
wards. After that you need, even for the
Simplest of dresses, sufficient velvet for
collar and belt, and touch OF lace or
satin somewhere. After that comes your
d,.sssn,alyer's bill, and when you count
mn The cost of that cheap gown, it ap-
proaches very near to $40. ..
