| The effect is just the same, and the French
model can he reproduced at a triflng cost.
For tall, slight figure a pretty house
gown is Of white delane, made with a
round hOdy ard Shirred severali inches below
the waist For the collar and sleeves any
heavy cream white lace in decided pat

white satin ribbon is worn around the
waist and tied with a bow and ends i'll

La jnpe Scleie, or sun plated skirt made
Of cashmere, makes a very graceful mai
Tee skirt, ana in white is especially adapted
for variey Of pretty sacks, more or less
elaborate aad negligee.
Taffeta skirts in plain cOloTs or black
are most scrvic, able, made with accGr
dion plated or gathered ruffleS, with 4
corded edge: : the lace, while very daint Y,
is, of course, very perishable, and rO-
much wear. is not practical, as IL requires
constant mending and renewing. A very
substantial skirt is of olive green taffeta,
trimmed with accordion plating in points.
A sensible as well as comfortable sack to
wear with tbs Is French flannel. red,
with pin dot. This is made with three
plaIts back and front, hanging loose from
the yoke.
For n bath robe. or something To take
the place OF the heavy blankets they roll
one up in after n Turkish bath. there IS
nothing better than eiderdOwn flannel
4 very pretty one is baby blue, with the
collar, sleeves and front bound with blue
satin rihbop. The long cord and tasseI is
always an effective finish, IN spite of the
fact that they are rather clumsy, owing to
the thickness OF the material, strange
t. say. they are nearly always becoming.
The very high-flaring fad collar on coats
and capes, while a necessary precaution
to keep out the cold, is not always becr.n-
ing. This is particulariyth case with Per-
sian lamb when the complexion is not up
To the stahdaId. Little shirrings If white
or ccIored chiffon, inside the points and
as far as the turnover shows, will soften
up things Tremendously. and simply can't
help being becoming. These little turn
overs OF cerise chiffon or chinchilla and
white or Persian lamb look particularly

New fourth hand ties are OF two-inch
double-faced satin ribbon made, tied and
fastened in the back with hooks. The ends
are usually cut bias and edged With lutte
deep Plating Of chiffon. In white black
and colOrs and tartan plaids they offer as
many varieties as the masculine four-in-
hand, and make good change off with the
lawns and Muslin and liberty silk ties.

faSor and sashes may be said to have taken
a fair start this summer. There is no end
to the styles, and 10 limit in elegance or
prices. The old Roman sash with fringed |
ends, is with us again, and nearly every |
body has All old one somewhere that was
much treasured in edrly yUuthfuldays. Take |
IL out ard have IL cleaned il necessary and |
wear 1t with white house gowns. A rather |
startling sash is made OF the new velvet /
and satin striped ribbon in three shades OF |
gerinium red. II is about five inches wide, |
and is made with two loops at the waist. |
and the bias ends are edged with very deep |
pHsses OF mousseline de sole to match the
ribbon. Another isof plaid, the royal Stuart
pattern, trimmed on the ends with plait-
lDgs OF back mousSeline. A royal purple
MORE OF rupcrb Quality, with trimmings OF
black mou<sei:ne, has an unmistakabie air
Of elegance.
