tiful flfSree ornament in shape of half
moon .; took the place of girdle. The
large ..s;sop sleeves were of the blue silk
covered with white null, with a fall Of
lace at the wrists below draped band Of
tho silk. The skirt was very long in the
back and was cut with very ample but not
stiff folds. 1t was finished at the neck
with full Rauffered white silk null col
larette.
1t has boon said for a long time that tho
princess gown was to be among the favor
ties of this season, and now we find it
almost everywhere. 1t Is certainly in
evidence. but is not likely TO crowd other
shapes out, particularly when the others
are more becoming. Those of perfect fig
ure may wear the princess, and Others will
keep the draperies that hide many little
deficiencies and shortcomings. A really
beautiful princess gown made this week
was of garnet and black brocaded silk.
The left side was slightly lifted and draped
to show plain panel at the bottom of
faille a couple of shades lighter and Dor
dered with "a delicate scroll pattern in gold
thread. Down the left side seam was Il very
narrow band of garnet astrakhan trim
ming. On the waist were three narrow in
sets of white lace oversewed with gold
thread The collar consisted of draped
stock of old gold satin. A small bow of
the same colored ribbon was placed on the
left side at the opening. The front closed
invisibly
For young lady of a less perfect figure
there was very pretty gown of fancy nov
city wool in gray and with brown figures
in blocks of three. The skirt was laid in
box plaits all the way around The waist
was draped across in blouse fashion and
held by little stars made of Persian en-
broidcry on white cloth. There were pref
ty little rounded collar at the neck and a
pointed one lying fiat, and they, as well as
the belt and two half moon shaped bands
upon the sleeves to hold them in, were of
the white cloth covered with Persian en-
broidery in green and gold. The half moon
arrangement on the sleeves produced "a
very good effect.
While there are very few waists made OF
different material from the skirts to good
dresses, the waists are trimmed in a very
elaborate STYLE for the most part. The
combinations of colors are truly artistic.
There was "A reception gown made of myr-
tie green faille, with full circular skirt.
Down each side of the front breadth there
were revers of velvet one shade darker.
These were cut out in shallow scallops and
in each point there was set small but
ton. There was IA fold around the bottom
of the dress. The waist was what gave the
distinguished beauty to this gown. 1t was
short and round and had plain stiff belt,
which buttoncd at the left side Every
edge and part where it was possible to put
the fold there was one There was a
square neck, with folds and simulated
plastron, and across the shoulders were set
these green bone buttons. The open space
was filled in with old rose faille. The
sleeves were very elaborate, consisting OF
what one might term revcrs. These were
of the green, and all were bound, and each
had one button. They fastened to the
sleeve. The upper part was of old rose
faille and the rest of the green.
Another evening dress for young lady
had a full godet plated skirt. The ma
