DOMAIN.


seen consisted CT a plain satin skirt and a
tulle bodice made in a round baby fashion.
The color always Is cream white. or a pale
tint, blue. pink, or yellow. and small arti-
fetal flowers trim the corssge Of these eff
fectively.
Again a tuile bodice for a young lady,
whether in white or color, may have only
belt and neck furnishings of white satin
ihbon, and, though simple the look OF THIS
Is always very elegant.
Velvet and satin gowns for those who are
fond OF much trimming have sometimes tulle
and artificial flowers on the skirt as well as
bodice.
A dinner gown trimmed in this way. illus
trated, appeared at the opera a Few nights
ago. and Is of black velvet with a scarf
decoration NJ scarlet tulle Swallowed with
black figures, This Grapes the neck OF the
bodice and crosses the bust diagonally to the
waist. a great scarlet crysanthemum catch
Ing IL in front and at each shoulder. The
same flowers hold down the sash pieces ON
the skirt and show at the outside Of the
short pun sleeves.
REVIVAL OF OLD TINTS.
In the costume with the infant robe front
Is shown one Of the newest colors of the sea-
son, and that is no other than the old-tlme
Nazarine blue worn a quarter of a century
ago.
The front and sleeves Of this gown are Of
velvet in this color, the other material being
silver brocade showing big eccentric figures
in the Nazarine. The lace on the bodice is
old Venetian point, the belt a marrow band
Of dull silver set with sapphires.
A high-necked gown of black and white
striped silk Is especially suited to polite
mourning and is dressy enough for any occa-
son. The skirt and sleeves of this are of the
silk, the bodice, cut low at the top and with
sleeve epaulettes, is of white velvet en-
broidered with Jet.
The neck Is covered by al white tulle gimp
over white silk and is finished at the throat
with a wide jet band. Over this a full rufie
Of white tulle falls becomingly.
Odd bodices are more than ever seen just
now, and some Of those sported at opera and
theater are very beautiful. They are worn
with silk, satin and velvet skirts, and the
skirts need not necessarily be always black.
For example, a magnificent skirt of dark
red velvet, recently worn in a theater box,
has a little round body of pale pink chiffon
with trimmings of lace and white satin rib
bon. -
A skirt In a rich black peau de sol was
worn with a darling waist. This was also
the baby shape so much affected nowadays,
ard that seems to carry with 1t always the
suggestion of youth, and was Of white satin
with short pulled sleeves and a simple
trimming Of velvet in a brilliant electric
green. A twist at the bottoms of the
sleeves. a narrow belt and one mad bow, like
a strange bird. at the left of the round neck,
was all the velvet used.
High waists Of chiffon have sometimes
the bodice portion covered with scattered
lace designs or rows of insertion appliqued
on. An enchanting one, worn lately to the
theater, was appliqued all over with big love-
knots. The wearer was a blonde on the
Titan order and she had gone to see Mile.
Yvette Guilbert to good purpose, as nothing
could have been more becoming to her type
than this adorable bodice. NINA FITCH.
