is ma de with the narrow skirt over the
hips, but f1aring out widely around the
feet. A ruche of the same silk headed
with band of pink ribbon IS the trim
ming of the skirt. The waist, cut in
jacket fashion, is of silk, but the entire
front Of it is of mousseldne de sol with
, bands OF MalIne.s lace, and The jacket
fronts, instead of opening with revers,
are laid in smooth folds and tied just
at the bust in a soft bow of the ma
terial, fastened with a rhinestone
buckle. The collar is Of pink satin rib.
bon, with a turned-over frill of the
Malines lace, and the hat to match the
costume is Of white chip trimmed with
pink roses. Such gowns as these We're
worn fifty years ago, and there is a
marvellous resem bIance in the style as
well as the materials A plain, change
able lavender silk is trimmed with fne
white Valenciennes lace and insertion,
and the silk, in color and texture, looks
as though it must have been laid away
in some treasure trunk these many
years SO odd and old-fashtoned is the
colod.ng. The seams, to add to the IL
fusion, are all piqued with white satin,
While Walenciennes insertion edged with
lace is put on in festo0ns around the
bottom of the skirt and in bretelles on
the waist, which has the shoulder
seams quite long and the full sleeve it
self dropping towards the elbow. An
other trimming that was in fashion
long time ago and is now seen on the
newest gowns, is the very narrow
silk fringe, which must be the exact
shade of the gown.
Grenadine is so adaptable material,
lending itself to all sorts of manipula-
tons as easily as muslin or any Of the
less w1ry stuffs. While it is especially
favored in black, it is also much worn
IN pale sef-tints, such as grays, tans,
etc. A charmingly dainty gown in the
aforementioned shade is made up over
slip Of vivid coachman's pink taffeta
winch, cleaning through the meshes of
the grenadine, gives a lovely warm tint
to the gown. The skirt is gored sharp
~ and has no trimming. There is an
unusual fullness at the back, where a
number of double godets are caught
INTO a narrow space, and held out over
slight hustle
The smart little round waist has an
Oval yoke composed of the grenadine
shlrred finely across from shoulder TO
shoulder and edged with full ruching
OF the same, showing a tiny edging of
yellow Valenciennes lace.
Inc body of the waist is made of ac-
Gordon plated turquoise blue crepe
and fat bands of the grenadine, which
are caught into a folded belt Of coach
mans pink taffeta at the front, and
end in small little position at the
back
An odd ruche Of blue stands up about
the throat as a finish. The sleeves are
double puffs to the elbow, well stiffened
to stand out, and finished by a fall OF
accordion plated grenadine to the
wrist
1t is SO much an easier matter to ap-
pear well dressed in summer than in
winter. Materials cost less and are
infinitely more lovely, while the fluffy,
airy styles are more generally becom-
ing than the severe modes of the winter
Batiste is in high favor for hand
some street gowns. In a costume of
this material one always may feet per
feetly gowned, but not overdressed,
even with silken lining, since it only
shows in CLEANS of color through the
goods.
Plain batiste is used for the BODY of
most of these gowns. 1t combines so
beautifully the embroideries and lends
itself SO sweetly to the decorations of
ribbons or silk
A woman has no natural grace more
bewitching than a sweet laugh. 1t is
like the sound of flutes on the water. 1t
leaps from her heart in a clear, spark
ling rill, and the heart that hears it
feels as If bathed in the cool, exhilar-
ating spring. Have you ever pursued
an unseen fugitive through the trees,
led on by her fairy laugh? Now here,
now there, now lost, now found? Some
of us have; and are still pursuing that
wandering voice. It may come to US.
