One OF Vogue's correspondents informs
us that a bride-elect in New York, re-
Gently returned from Paris, showed her
very smart gown in clover-green canvas
cloth, beautifully broche in raised black,
with Louis Seize scroll design. 1t was
very noticeable that the skirt lay quite nat
in front and at the sides, and was very
moderate in width; that it was untrlmmed
and lined with silk of the same shade. A
plain under bodice of the same lining Silk
was intended to be tucked into the skirt,
and wide green velvet corselet, fastened
on the left, worn over, so that the most
charming little velvet bolero to match,
plissed in vertical lines, might just reach
the top oil this corselet (Which was draped
horizontally when it was slipped on.
The novel way in which the boz
lero was trimmed was quite fascinat-
ing. There were specially designed
pieces OF Saint Gall guipure, mellow in
tone. as, for instance, straight, narrow
border for the bottom of the bolero, which
in front formed triangle, the point so high
and sharp it rose to the bust line. Then
came a decollete yoke, quite charming
feature, forming in front two triangles, the
points touching in the center with point

point dipping toward the belt. The velvet
was cut out beneath the lace and showed a
warm refiet from rich poppy red poult de
sole, with which the little jacket was lined.
On the left side of bolero were two large
jeweled buttons, one above, the other below
the lace triangle. The neck-band was high
and fat, with small ruche of guipure. the
least soupcon showing over the band. The
sleeves of cloth were Louis XIV model, MT
ting the arm closely, with small pun at
the top and without trimming.

The Marauise de Maupeon's toilet was
also especially noted, being OF turquoise
blue crepe de chine, the skirt was plain on
the hips and round the lower part were
nine small fiounces, edged with black vel
vet of the narrowest variety. The bodice,
cut slightly square, was composed entirely
of cream guipure, placed fat over blue silk
and deep corselet of black velvet. The
elbow sleeves, covered with lace like the
bodice, had slight drapery OF blue crepe
at the top. and were finished at the elbow
with band of black velvet ribbon ana
ruche of blue tulle. The same trimming
was introduced around the neck. On the
same occasion several OF the young
maidens looked quite charming, Mile. de
la Vomade having been admired IN
toilet of pink and white glace taffeta, the
neck cut square. The elbow sleeves and
the bottom of the skirt were completed
with a ruche of pale pink tulle. This
dainty girl wore hat of rice straw, wat
teau in shape, and on it were placed bows
of white gauze striped with silk. Mile. TAI
bot appeared in black and white muslin
over white silk, ornamented with great
quantity of Valenciennes lace, the neck
and waistband were of violet velvet, and
most becoming was the black lace hat with
its long and beautiful black ostrich plumes.
Other gowns lately commented on in
Paris should receive at least few passing
remarks. For instance, at an afternoon
reception, given at the end of last month,
a fair Princess was gowned in taffetas
robe EN- broidered with shaded convolvulus
and lace insertions on the skirt; the open
bodice had gulpure OF Valenciennes lace;
the sleeves extended to the elbow, but
were not full. Another Princess wore
white China crepe, with bretelles of green
moire, spangled with silver, and the waist
band of the same. Her hat was o chic,
Vatican shape, with bows of old rose rib
bon and wreath of roses. The Princess
Helene was much admired in perfectly
plain but most wonderfully fine white
muslin, made over pink silk. Her long
sash was of green, wide satin, and on an
artistic hat were many loops of green
gauze. A confection of white silk muslin
over white MORE was most fetching, and
on the bodice was quantity OF splendid
lace. The yoke was square OF the style
alluded to as la Botticelli. This costume
was completed by white tulle hat
trimmed with paradise feather.

Such a "beauty dress" was worn one
day last week by pretty woman. Will
slightly change the colorlng and describe
it as being made of an exquisitely fine
ladies' cloth of a pearly hue. The skirt
falls most gracefully, and is entirely with
ont ornamen tation and hangs free from
the silken lining, as no good dressmaker
nowadays sews silken and woolen goods
together. The lining, of turquoise blue,
has five narrow frills edged with Valen-
ciennes lace. Truly charming is the bolero
of blue velvet, exactly matching the lining.
1t is scalloped all around, each scallop
being beautified with an applique OF
creamy-yelIow real lace, and here and
there a few iridescent beads are intro
duced with happy results. The bolero IS
cut so as to reveal lovely vest Of blue
silk, completely covered with fine applique
lace; and / almost forgot to tell you that
all over the velvet bolero are embroidered
in gray and blush silks tiny f1eur-de-lls.
Encircling the waist and skirt are twisted
bands of white and dark-grav striped
velvet ribbon, which are introduced with
truly chic effect. The sleeves are OF the
cloth, with diminutive puffs and several
rows OF fine shirr1ng. They extend to the
wrists only, but frills of the lace reach to
the knuckels Such a frock would serve
as an excellent model for many calling
dress this winter.
A little toilet, which will be worn at
one of our leading hotels by stylish
matron, is of very fine white mohair,
which is covered with very long-stemmed
corn flowers, turquoise blue in color. The
entire gown is over white taffeta glace
and the bodice has lovely square revers of
velvet, which exactly matches the leaves
of the flowers; these are edged with fine
fancy lace, deep corselet to the velvet
ties in large bow in the back with long
ends. The result is all that could be de-
sired. From an excellent house comes a
simple creation of the palest gray satin,
the skirt hangs perfectly and the square
cut bodice is made without a single seam
apparently. 1t is covered with pale
mauvre accordion pleated chiffon, on
which is appliqued fine duchess lace.
The sleeves are small puffs of the chiffon.
A corselet of the gray satin is very effective
and concludes in long sash ends, with
quillings at the sides of the mauvre chif-
fon, seven rows of which edge the sash
ends, and frills of mauvre taffeta are TO be

Fashions for Gentlemen

like these, and some very wel-dressed men
even use this French bow with afternoon dress.
The butterfly will not die, and see more of
these ties worn every day, and they will be
continued until very late IN the autumn. The
colors are dark, and there is fancy for black
even when worn with colored shirt. These
latter will still be the fashion for morning, the
plain colors-blues and lavenders principally
taking the place of stripes. The gray hat,
Hombourg shape. with black crepe or cloth
band, has really taken the town, and is very
popular for autumn wear, but the gray and
white bands are almost unknown among we'll
groomed men.
The smartest men have made dark green
and blue plaided ties the style.
