The new glace silks. combined with airy
decorations, make attractive and useful
evening costumes. Among the transparent
woaves, the more delicate gauzes of course
| take the lead for charm. but where one
gown is to do duty for several any of the
silk grenadines, plain, striped or figured.
Will be found durable materials. The EN-
broidered musllns and batistes in cream
white or butter yellow are also good and
long-wearing investments, and though these
may be made to have a look of enchant-
ing simplicity, with rich silk Innings and
lace trimmings, they are sufficiently dressy
for almost any occasion.
In the new crepe de chimes, which ma
terial drapes with a Greels-like grace, there
are some becoming colors for evening use
One is a bright green like new foliage and
there are gay jonqu yellows and deep
pinks, which range all the way from peach
blow TO the yellow rose of pomegranite
blooms.
Chiffonette, a glazed silky gauze, is an
inexpensive variety of silk muslin, and
which, in black, is much used for neck
quillings. In delicate colors it appears oc-
casionally in evening bodices.
PRETTY SCARFS.
Charming dance wraps, IN the shape
OF long hemmed scarfs or shawls. may also
be made of it, as well as others OF or
dirary chiffon; these dainty trifes being of
lightness not to harm fragile gowns, yet
providing when needed all the protection
necessary to bare threats and shoulders.
In the way OF making there are two
conspicuous departures in the new even
ing gowns from the style of last season.
The change in the fashions of sleeves,
which daily grow smaller and more dis
tlnctve.
Then skirts are taking to quaint little
rufiies, draped flounces, and prim out
lining CT the cores; so, that with her snug,
odd sleeves. and the tiny d!rectoire fan she
now affects, girl in her new evening dress
often suggests faster return to dead modes
than the world wots Of
The dinner toilet of old pink brocade pic
tured owns pair OF the newest sleeves.
They are close fitting without being too
tight for comfort and have elbow ruffles
of white muslin such as were worn by wise
Martha Washington and foolish Dolly Var
den. A plated vest and double shoulder
frills of the same Tighten the bodice ef
fectively. At each side of the front, which
does net meet over the vest. there are two
handsome buttons in colored enamel and
the skirt is gathered full and finished with
narrow rufile run through the middle.
One Of the old time revivals in skirt deco
ration Is shown in the second dinner cos
tune,
This is of buff and pale green striped
taffeta and like the first gown it is suf-
ficiently elegant to be worn on cool nights
for informal dancing.
Plain taffetas, in buff and pale green,
are used for the trimming on the skirt.
The narrow double plaitings of the bodice
are also of the plain taffetas. The jacket
itself is of cream oriental canvas, embroid-
cred richly in delicate eastern colors, and
showing here and there a spangle deep-set
like bit of mirror in a button-holed ring:
SILK NOVEI TIES
Yellow monotone silk Is the material |
of the bodice with the V-shaped neck. Mono |
tone silk is rich brocaded gros-gran show |
ing one color in two tones in the design.
They are exceedingly handsome in the even
ing patterns and together with the ombre
silks will be much worn this winter.
The pink silk muslin is remarkable /
chiefly by being combined with canary yell
low ribbon and yellow flowers, which appear
upon the body with rather startling effect.
A fimy lace BERTHA and lace founces out
lining the skirt apron, are other trimmings
One of the sash phases of the season is
in the embroidered muslin
'roct.
Other materials for simpler evening use
may be white Swiss and any of the striped |
and iowered organdies that have pale back
grounds. The bodices must be low in the
neck, and studied arrangement of a taf-
feta ribbon sash will do wonderful things
in the way of trimming. Many of the fig
lred organdy gowns have the narrow frills
edged with satin baby ribbon. This, where
there are many flounces, i5 exceedingly ef- |
