The lace yoke is shaped by cutting

fit. Another dress of black silk cam

silk, with f1ounces of black chiffon
edged with yellow lace set on in waved
lines around the skirt. The vest is of
mauve chiffon, and the same lace

new idea in the corselet belt, which is
such a special point of fashion just at

ors, and bias folds, each in a different
shade of some color, make very good
effect with the darkest shade at the
lower edges. Black satin belts appear
on all sorts of gowns, and foulards are
chiefly made with corselet belt draped
around the waist in folds which con-
tinue into the skirt, each one being
edged with narrow Valenciennes lace

transparent wrinkled sleeves of lace
or lawn with short puff of foulard at

silk for the ruffless they can be made Of rib

black. The ribbon should be the same tone
Of the silk or of the flower that forms the
broeade. The short petticoat is quite as i'm
portant as the long one. They are often
made of dainty colored silk. The prejudice
among refined women against the use Of
color in these skirts is passing away. Many
of the short silk skirts are lined with crepon.
Some of the prettiest India silk skirts are
trimmed with three-inch ruffies Of dotted
Breton net. Others are trimmed with sue
cession of rufies of Valenciennes lace or
creamy point de Paris. A novelty in short
petticoats is found in cotton crepon, both
in plain colors, such pink, blue and vel
low, also in fine hair stripes. They are
deliberately decorated with lace, tucks and
ruffies. inexpensive petticoats are made OF
alpaca in various colors. Brilliantines are

about these fluffy, airy garments, and then
they have the added charm of being washable.
A pretty dotted muslin petticoat is made

The tucks end about a finger from the hem,
which is finished by fine line of beading

is the fower-trimmed petticoat Not the skirt

has fresh flowers sewn among its founces.
This is exclusively for evening wear. The
