for both should depend on their graceful
hanging and perfect cut, and be devoid
Of any trimming whatever.
There should be no attempt at trim
ming on the bodice. Something nice
should be selected and used sparingly.
For the moh4tnis is a pretty model.
given by one of our best fashion writer's:
Let us take, as an example. this pretty
model:-A large green mohair or alpaca,
than which no color is more pleasing.
The skirt is perfection, the material lend
ing itself SO admirably to the present
cur. The ining is a maize or corn-color
giace. a delicious contrast, but, if great
service is required of the gown, silk of
the same shade would be more satisfac-
tory There is no trimming whatever.
A jacket bodice outlining the figure,
lined also with maize-color silk. has the
open fronts bordered on a narrow ruche
of two shades Of sage green. one to
match the mohair and the other much
paler. This ruching continues around the
basque. which is quite short.
Laid fiat on each side of this ruchine
IN front are white mousseline bands in
crusted with yellow guipure designs, as
the newest lace trimmings are. They
start from the shoulder seam, and taper
to nothing at the waist line.
The choker is made up Of a like band
over sage-green silk, and instead of a
ribbon bow has loops and plisse short
ends of the mousseline, which is quite
new and charming. in the front. The
sleeves are gigot, the fullness held down
a little, about three inches below the
shoulder, and a band of mousseline is
laid over with excellent effect, defining
the shoulders just enough to be becom-
ing, without pressing them into promi-
nence, which SO often spoils the ensem-
BILE.
New W call for new hats and bon
nets, and one thinks at once of what
Wouio go well with this one. Green to
match, of a much darker shade. on
black, and let it be satin-straw by all
means, which is even loyelier this year
than last.
II IS SO satiny, SO softly pliable and
all the colors charming. violets with
plenty of leaves, a few nesting roses.
green taffeta ribbon, only rosette bow at
the side well pressed together. and one
eno or green cut sharp, with a similar

ing That bit of white ribbon acts like
a charm, gives a certain chic instantly.
The fronts of these hats. that come
under the designation of tooues, are
more or less ripping and irregular. and
the character of these straws helps that
on delightfully."-.
