Mapcella's Modes.

Suggestions concerning every reliable
novelty are OF the greatest value at the be-
ginning OF each season, therefore 1 shaI!
to-day chronicle the charms of numerous
models and designs. L have been admir-.
ing one visiting gown of exceptional chic
which wilt shortly be worn by distin.
guished-looking bride. 1t is of rich black
and blue striped silk, the stripes being one
inch in width. The circular skirt hangs
as only such skirt can when perfectly
cut. 1t is cut out at either side, a V
shaped opening revealing turquoise blue
velvet, on which are trimmings of black
ostrich feathers. The VS. are edged
with the same. You would have to
see the bodice to fully appreciate it,
style, but into its com position enters the
striped silk. moiroir ve.vet, cut Jet and
feather trimming. The fronts are of the
velvet and the sleeves fit snugly, having
merely short caps. The lining is of tur-
quoise blue taffeta completed with frilis.
A pretty debutante looks we'll in

the skirts bottom is a trelIis OF black
braid and the bodice is completely covered
with it. The sleeves are regular "coat
sleeves. and throughout the lining is of
an excellent quality of black silk. The

laid over white glace silk foundation.
At the throat and waist are black velvet
ribbons, and the yoke effect, in front. is
outlined with lace and it composes the
very deep and full ruffles for the elbow
sleeves
This bodice is slightly pouched in front
and looks wonderfully well with the SIM
ply draped skirt that accompanies it. The
sash that encircles the waist terminates IN
long ioopes and ends. This reminds me
that sashes are to be much in evidence for
evening wear.
You will all be more or less interested
in model evening confect1on, for the
overskirt is composed entirely of lace in
one piece, with long panels that extend
over the hips, and all the lace is enriched
with delicate gold and silver EN- broidery,
and sable is introduced with most deco
rative results.
On the bodice are revers of the en-
brodery edged with the sable. A chiffon
sash embroidered and sable trimm is of
becoming shade of apricot yellow and
which is the lace.
For really formal visiting velvet is to be
much seen and one such dress is of gray
Lyons silk velvet trimmed with chin
chilla. The entire bodice is yelled with
network of black pearls and steel. For a
church wedding what could be more ap-
propriate when completed with toque OF
gray velvet which has the appearance of
having had all the threads pulled out
after having been closely shirred2 Rest
ing next the hair is bunch of perfect
vioiets, with their leaves, and single
gray ostrich plume OF rare beauty is ar
ranged at the left side, and 1 must really
tell you OF a sumptuous wedding gown
worn during the first part of this month
by most fashionable bride. To begin
with 1t had train Of ivory-embossed vel
vet over an empire gown of ivory satin
hemmed with sable. Some priceless old
lace was draped across the top part of the
bodice. Rather brief description, is it
not?

all having a tendency toward a powder
tone, quite light in shade. With one such
dress was carried muff OF pale-blue vel
vet, hemmed with ermine and fastened
with Wedge wood buttons, set with dia-
monds. The toQue that matched it came
from Carriers and was simply lovely.
One thing that should commend it es-
peciaIly to these who do not care to wear
feathers during the winter was that no
ostrich plumes were used. Instead four
very excellent wings of real powder
blue shade stood erect on the left. Duty
and all this dear bit of a trifle cost only
s25. Are you surprised and declare that
yard of velvet and four wings are high
at that price2
Not at all; you want style and an air.
That is what you are paving for, and you
will have to spend just thirty dollars if
YOU would own another tiny Partisan
affair, imported by one OF our best known
milliners. 1t is partially made of an odd
ia brio, that is half straw and half velvet
in appearance, and yet is neither the one
nor the other on it. which are black and
white stripes exactly one-sixteenth of an
inch wide, and this is closely shirred all
the wsy down the middle, and at either
side is chou of light blue velvet with a
rhinestone center, ana at the left side is
medium sized black aigrette. The de-
scription is simple enough, but not one IN
a thousand could make those velYety
materials assume such dainty aspect.
[ was shown not long ago a homemade
reproG uction of French hat. The maker
desired my candid opinion, and the only
thing that came INTO my mind at the
time was one of Ramlefs marks, which

However, I Gid not give her the benefi
of the quotation, and unless she is a mind

thing haunts me. as does also one awful
summer affair which 1 was call upon
TO inspect. On it nodded scrap of lace,
a molting bird and bunch of brand-new
cotton roses that clashed with the white
straw. And will you believe it2 Both of
these hideous things were put together by

Plumage, plumage everywhere. A bird

only to don them again in due time.
Cluny and Chantilly laces will be much
used to elaborate rece ption and dinner
gowns during 97'9S. Insertions of lace
are also in the race for popularity as
bodice trim ming. Women will wear
laces, l predict, so long as the world re-
wolves in its orbit. They are luxurlo US
and infinitely becoming.
Bodices have a new trimming called
chiffonette gaufre, intended to replace
the accordion pleating which has been in
use so long, in lieu of anything as airy in
effect. Chiffonette is com bination of
shlrrlngs and puffings and will retain its
freshness somewhat better than chiffon

charming.
One can scarcely get fiounces too deep
