made of n lighter quality of Grape than
heretofore. Some wear the veil doubled
and reaching only to the shoulders, but
more wear it single and long reaching
nearly If not quite to the bottom of the
gown
| saw some very chic Paris gowns for
receptions and other semi full dress occa-
sions. One of them was of superb pcau de
sole in opacscent tints. The skirt was
circular, with deep paits in the back and
smooth fitting across the hips, the rich
material glowing with all the tints of the
opal The waist was of moss green vel
vet draped across the front under pale
rose tint ribbon how. This waist was cut
off at the shoulders, and an applique
bertha of the silk studded with enamelcd
spangles turned downward in scallups.
The guimpo was made of pale pink silk
muslin gathered very full, and sleeves of
the same, which ended at the elbows with
spangled cuffs. \ the neck there was
full stock collar, with "a rhinestone buckle
set on upright and two punches of corn
flowers at the sides.
The other gown was of palo hcliotrope
armure rich and flexible, and it was made
with Il paquin skirt. Down the front were
set two bands of ivory satin wrought over
with black spangles with piquct fringe
The waist was plated in to the belt blouse
fashion The belt and all the bows were
of velvet shading from orange to the
palest maize. There was an elaborate
trimming on the front of the corsage
wrought out of spangles and piquets.
There was IA large polerine of white Span
ish lace which added breadth and style to
the whole gown, and this was ornament
ed with bows of the velvet.
For outdoors in the early spring days
there is an array of short capes and short
English jacS'ts beyond counting. There
is no questNn as to their utility. The
short jackets are made as u general rule,
to match skirts, but they may be made of
some quiet color or mixture suitable for
general wear. But these short ckets fail
of their best effect when not like the rest
of the costume To be extremely fashion
able they should be short, the vest in full
evidence, the collars medium and rolling
and the sleeves should be medium sized
leg O. mutton. A few of these coats have
the rolling collar and deep cuffs of velvet,
but they are not nearly us stylish as those
which depend upon fine finish for effect
Light tan three-quarter coats and few
snug box coats are seen, but the very
prettiest of all are the short English jack
cts. | should mention that the white
chemisette and collar are parts of this
style. Cravats may be white, black or of
little lace neatly arranged.
The capes, as a rule, are shorter and
fuller than before and trimmed with jet,
lace and spangles Some of them shown
just now have wide collars or complete
stoles and yokos made of viulets How
long this fancy will last cannot say, but
l think it will give place to spangles.
Yokes, set pieces, oollarettes, belts and
bands are shown made up of different col
ors and kinds of spangles, so that they can
be applied by any one. Spangles can also
be purchased by the thousand, where a
lady may wish to decorate her own COS
tune. Hats have no end of Them and. in
