THOsE FOR EVENING WEAR PAT
TERMED AFTER LOUIS XIV.
The Fashionable Materials Are Very
Expensive-YellOyv Seems Destined
to He the FavOrite Color.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.---The picture hat is
here So ts the picture gown. and the
latter comes more honestly by the title than
the former. There seems little doubt that
the latest most elegant evening gowns have
derived their inspiration from pictures. and
rather modern ones, too; so the result is
q pretty suggestion Of the old styles In the
more artistic development of the new.
Something has been borrowed from tina
gowns worn In 1880 and In the time OF Louis
XIV, and evening dresses are made CT
velvet handsomely embroidered, with the
old-.itne tablier front of satin or lace. Other
gowns look liks new copies Of the Spanish
costumes worn by fine ladies years ago.
which all goes to show how little real orig
inality there is In fashion.
Heavy English brocades and rich velvets
handsomely embroidered are the materials
for evening dress II expense is not an item
for consideration: but added to these are
plain satins, fowered silks. moire velorrs
in pale tinte. crepe de chine and long list
OF thin. gauzy materials.
Hand painted satin IL used for bodices,
with very much the same effect as brocade.
La,e applique brilliantly spotted with I'M
itation jewels Is . very effective trimming
in the evening. and combined with the
painted satin it Is gorgeous.
! Yellow. in all its varying shades between
cream and orange, 10 most fashionable
color. and the combination Of pale green
or rose with white is especially desirable
th!2 season. Full waists of chiffon are worn
with silk and satin skirts. and the fashion
of using green velvet or silk as trim
ming for white satin or a gauze gown
ssrv es the double purpose of making now
gown stylish and freshening up the old one
with great success.
! All sorts OF renovAtions are necessary to
bring the last season'D evening gowns up
to the required condition of freshness and
styls and this fancy Of adding a color to
white Is especially effective. touch Of
black on colored gown is sometimes very
good. and 1t will often quite disguise the
fact that the gown Is soiled.
Wide belts Of velvet or silk help out very
nicely IN this scheme Of transformation.
and frills Of the colored silk, mixed with
lace. can be added to the neck and form
