BEAUTIFUL TEA GOWN FROM Gu. 0aEClLL, VIENNA
Vienna, August /, 1897. The desire
Tor variety has revived many old and
antique styles which are worn by the
up-to-date woman with the same grace
which distinguished her ancestors.
The Victoria corsage. par example,
is new-old bodice brought out by the
admirers Of the English queen. in hon
or Of her diamond jubilee. It is glove
hitting, almost seamless and laced up
the back, and is a pretty reminder Of
the costumes of 1880. 1t will make q
graceful evening bodice for slender
women in the coming season. The
front Of the waist is closely fitted by
means Of a "Princesse" lining, with an
additional deeply arched seam down
the immediate front. The decolette is
round with a deep fall Of rich lace from
the edge. A short pun generally forms
the sleeve, but the slender woman pre-
fers to cover her arm first with tight
lining of thin silk exactly matching the
bodice in color, then over this thin
fabric like chiffon or mousseline de
sole shirred with two-inch puffs. each
shirring forming a tiny standing friH.
This arrangement covers the entire
length OF the sleeve, and the effect Of
the cOlOred silk through the transparent
textile above is lovely. At the top the
fabric is aped over a pun Of the tinted
silk, or there is merely a butterfly dra-
perry Of the thin goods OF the lace which
eneircles the\ deeolette of the bodice is
wide enough 70 drop gracefully over
the shoulders.
The Grecian dNapery is affected in
our model Of a tel gown. The over
dress Of rose colored brocade is cut a
Ia Princess with a nd tolerate train, and
opens in front over an underdress Of
white satin embroiderSd heavily with
gold and silver braid, and turQuoises /
