over Dame Fashions decree that they
straightway, one and ALL took unto
themselves a green frock, trimmed in
white revers almost without exception.
Then the inferior houses began to turn
out these green gowns in hundreds, I'M
til London looked as though it were
being overrun by a great female orphan
asylum in green uniforms
Now the swell London taiors are try
ing TO abstain from green, and they suS-
gest dahlia, brown or gray, but never
green, unless it is combined with blue
In some strikingly original way. Never
theless they are Obliged to cater to the
poular taste for the green and white.
one OF the very prettiest pattern
gowns shown me was of a soft shade of
green tweed, trimmed in dark blue vel
vet. The skirt was rather modest in
dimensions, and, though it was gored AT
the front and sides, the back was
straight and warranted not to sag, and
the fullness at the waist line was con-
verted into three small fiat box pleats.
Only the front gore of the skirt boosted
a haircloth facing, and the rest of the
skirt was faced with a material so soft
that there was not the slightest flare no.
ticeabie in the skirt
The Jacket of this costume had a long
blue velvet yoke, bordered with dark
green passementerie, with discs of bright
green iridescent trimming introduced
at intervals. A girdle of blue velvet
belted in the fullness of the sacque coat
and disappeared under the broad, fun
boX pleat at the front of the jacket.
The tall Medicis collar was a continue
alton of the dark blue velvet yoke. A
nat that was to be worn with this cos
tune was a small green fiat, trimmed
with chouX of pale gold and blue taffeta
ribbon and bird of paradise feather.
Another pretty gown was built of army
blue broadcloth. The skirt was an ordl-
nary, rather full godet. trimmed with
two rows of narrow blue braid. The
Jacket was short, reaching barely to the
waist line, and fastened across a plaid
vest with striking military frogs of
darker blue braid. Full short basques
Of the plaid silk fiared from under the
Jacket.
Capes will not be worn as much as they
were last winter, and with the dressier
toilets short velvet jackets will be very
popular.
One of the newest jackets shown is built
of black velvet, with a lining of pale
green brocaded silk. The yoke is of
white satin with a covering of heavy
cream lace, and from the yoke the vel
vet falls in six double box plaits which
are not confined at the waist
tan broadcloth cape that was a bit
unusual had lining of pale-green taft
feta. The edge of the cape and the epau-
lettes were bordered with a narrow braid
in bright hunters green and hunter s
green velvet faced the high Medici col
lar.
A stunning gown made of the popular
dahlia tweed had full plain godet skirt
that hung marvelously well. The jacket
had short full basques that showed con-
spicuously lining of pale gold taffeta.
Revers of white satin turned back over
broader revers of the tweed at the front
of the Jacket. A narrow silver PASSENGER
terie trimmed the jacket quite Ella borately
and narrow threads of silver outlined the
box plalt on the front of the white satin
vest.
The chic little toque, fashioned express
" for this gown, was made of fog-green
braided felt. Dahlia velvet was draped
around the low felt crown, and at one
side there were tiny dahlia and green tins
with tall frog-green aigrettes in their
midst.
A separate silk blouse. fashioned for
this suit, was made Of dahlia silk, shot
with gold. 1t was gathered full at the
shoulder seams and the fullness dropped
quite over the belt. back and front
long sash of soft surah silk, in dahha
and gold plaids, went twice around the
waist and knotted at the side with long
fringed ends that came nearly to the
bottom of the skirt
These soft sashes will be worn SO
much with the tailor suits of this sea
son. Especially where the Jacket is a
short bolero the sash is wonderfully
effective. The girdles Of satin ribbon
are ordered with many of the tailor
gowns, and in every case some sort
of silk blouse accompanies the suit, that
oftentimes weighted down with elabo-
rate trimmings.

cloth. The skirt is a full flaring godet
with a trimming of narrow black braid
down each seam of the front gore The
rather short jacket is trimmed elabor-
rately in the black braid and opens over
a stiff linen chemisette that is almost
concealed by a large black satin tie.
The hat is fiat Of black felt, with
huge black satin bows at the back and
a wreath of pale-yellow velvet roses
around the crown.
A stunning young widow, who is wear
ing half mourning creates quite a buzz
of admiration whenever she appears in her
new tailor gown. 1t Is of black cheviot
with a broad, faring godet skirt. At the
seams of the front gore narrow plated
panels are inserted that are strapped
across with tabs Of the black cheviot. Dor
dered with a narrow white braid.
The sack coat is short and opens at the
under arm seam. At the front it is slashed
to show lining of white taffeta and tabs
of the tweed keep the slashes from far
ing. A crush girdle of striped white and
black satin ribbon shows consplcuouslv
below the short jacket
Around her neck she always wears a
tour de cou of broad black satin sash rib
bon. with a tiny edge Of white satin. 1t
is plated very full and it is quite high
enough to entirely eclipse her ears.
Her hats is a small black felt, almost
a sailor in shape, that is set on a bandeau
at the back to make it tip quite over the
face. The crown is trimmed around with
chouX of white and black satin ribbon and
tail ends and quilts stand up right at the
back. Nina Goodwin.
A BRACELET WORTH HAVING.
