cloth, as we'll as eudora, the perfect, are
all olassed as among the most elegant Of
the seasons gowns. Nearly all of these
have the fault of acquiring an unpleasant
gloss by very little wear on spots where
there Is much friction. This is one of the
penalties of greatness 1 have had the dis
tress of seeing such fate befall two good
gowns, one henrietta and the other
black grosgrain. l took that gloss off in
ten minutes with q liberal dose of arraoh-
inc.
Cheviot, especially the diagonal weave,
Is certainly to woman's wardrobe what
good bread Is in a household, and it Is a
material which lasts so long that 1t re-
quires little trimming unless OF the most
durable kind. / saw new cheviot, and
IL was made so neatly that l think 1t Is
well to tell about 10. The color was dark
blue with light blue thread. Around
| the bottom there was O black braid edged
with a twisted cord The waist was cut
basque shape, with a neat front of velvet.
! The fiat collar and sleeves had trimming
of the braid.
! A very stylish gown for home or visit
/ ing was shown in the same place. The
! whole gown was OF close crinkle crepon OF
! the darkest brown. Around the bottom
was an embroidery done in light blue,
| with steel beads and having small figures
worked all over the skirt. The waist was
made of tho crepon, with yoke and gar
/ niture of the embroidery, Blue silk made
/ collar and belt.
The fancy for working few scattered
flowers on dresses is q pretty one and
noticed very handsome prune MORE,
with tiny green dots in clusters worked
on the upper portion of the front breadth.
The waist was covered with black chiffon
perforated and worked with green floss.
There was full jabot cap over each sleeve,
and this was notched and edged with the
silk. 1t made very striking and becom
Ing dress for home wear.
The dainty lace, silk flowers and ribbon
stocks are seen oftener than ever. The
latest Is to have steck of some handsome
material, generally rather heavy, and this
is richly beaded and has fringes Of jet In
forms varying with the different tastes
Some have black chiffon stocks, with lone
loops of good sized beads, and others have
them set In clusters under rosettos ol
some othor ornament. Light mule, sill
muslin, lace of any kind and ribbon al
we'll as velvet and silk are all suitable fo
the stocks. One dainty fancy has thu
STOCK OF pale PINK SILK nuslln anu ma
wide loops at each side held by rosette
and long loops Of narrow black velvet rib
bon.
One very becoming one was of scar
let and black peau dc sole fulled on an'
shirred at the sides Another was o
black tulle gathered extremely full, will
double shirrings in the back and full puff
at tho sides. This was intended for al
elderly lady. white tulle made in tn
same manner would be equally pretty TO
an elderly lady as the softness OF the lac
is Just what she needs. Lace Is the specia
prerogative of fading charms--that is, tn
rich and costly lace. l saw deep pelerin
! cape for one lady of elegant black chantil
ly Down the front there were purpl
/, , ribbons under the lace, and there was
feather collar A white lace pelerine ha
black fur boa around the neck.
