with either narrow ornamented black
braid, black ribbon or velvet.
The neck, wrists and yoke border are OF
red velvet, while the yoke itself is OF ecru

full and fastens down the back, and is
tucked on the shoulders. Navy blue
stockings look well, and when at home.
OF indoors, red morocco slippers delight

not so light, comfortable and stylish as

this winter it will be most in vogue when
com bined with white or cream white, al
though green ana turquoise blue are
very fashionable.
Much velvet i being employed not only
for entire gowns, but Likewise in combina-
ton. However only the really good quail
tiles are worthy of consideration, for a
cheap velvet is a thing 10 be most care
fully avoided. Far better to put all you
have TO spen in a good cloth than TO have
a poor velvet for trimming.
Also cheap qualities of lace should be
employed with great discretion, as have
seen a yoke OF cotton lace completely
ruin the appearance OF an otherwise salts
factory cashmere frock. It's all very well
to use the narrow laces on little lawns,
musllns and organizes, but that is another
story.

Chit-Chat.

Flounces are being so we'll received that
soon all gowns will be trimmed with them
At present they are chiefly applied in
narrow widths at the foot of the skirt.
Some are waved half way down, intro
duced in order TO hide the addition which
the necessary fullness about the feet ne
cessitates. Some again are carried to the
knee while some are grad uated; many
cover the entire skirt from waist to hem:
while some merely come over the front
breadth. BY all which it will appear that
there is great diversity in fashion. Some
skirts are lied, some detached from the

Cloth Gowns are mostly lined wi h silk
Many fiounces are bound with a contrast

White feur de velour is coming very
much into fashion, as is also the old crys-
tai silk. White poplin is still being worn
by brides.
For the moment in Paris navy blue.
tabac brown and pearl gray are the favor
lite colors, gray being of the exact shade
that tones in with chinchilla.
Flat rouleaux and stitched bands are
the best liked forms of trimming, and the
satin rouleaux are often arranged in open
trelliswork to show the contrasting color
ing.
The muffs this season are very orna-
mental. One of black satin was recentlv
admired. 1t was made with two or three
frills at each end, bordered with narrow
sable. Also one of black velvet, gathered
so as TO finish with q flounce at each emo.
TO come well over the wrists. A crimson
bow was at one side and fresh and per-
feet rose in the center.
stylish tea gown lately noted is made
in one of the new shades of fraise satin
duchesse trimmed with revers of a rich
velvet OF darker shade, which is relieved
by cascades of lace. The sleeves are quite
novel and are formed of loops OF velvet
with lace in between.
Crepe de chine ties with elaborately
hemstitched ends may be had in every
possible color. l liked one beneath fine
muslin collar, which had little motifs of
ecru lace let into the corners.

Lingerie.

In a trousseau lately ordered the lingerie
was very beautiful. In the first place the
numerous sets of underwear were each
and every one sent home tied up with
white satin ribbons, on each of which
were silver labels. These we're placed in
white MORE boxes.
The petticoats were of every known
kind from silk to cam brio. Many had
much fire hand embroidery. The pale
pink, blue and white batiste garments
were mass es OF Valerciennes lace and in
sertion. but point de Paris lace is extern
sively introduced on many sets, as it is
considered the thing this winter.
The petticoat which will be worn at the
wedding is of white chine silk. a wide
founce trimmed with fine real Iaces en-
circles it, headed by lace ruche The
deep baayeuse is accor ion pleated and
pinked at the edges. The woven silk COM
binations have lace yokes or edgings On
the silk stockings the brides monogram
IS worked in silks to match the color OF the
clocks.
The nightgowns are, most of them, en-
broidered and tucked by hand.
Chemises and nightgowns are being

The latest Valenciennes lace Is of so firm
and why a quality that even after IT has
been washed or cleaned it is almo,t i'm
possible for any but an expert to tell it
from the real lace.
Very comfortable as we'll as dainty are
the flannel petticoats that have deep
white silk founces trimmed with lace
Several fascinating dressing gowns anc

silk, cashmere or nuns yelling. However
now that the temperature is rather low

The skirt was EN- oroidered up the front
side seams and in each fold all round
with vioiets, the design in every case be-
ing varied; and round the hem and
lightly up the seams Louis XIV design
was wrought in pearls diamonds and
crystal.
Very stylish was an afternoon dress of
fouard, in which were blended white,
green and black. Ribbon velvet of the
same colors edged the ruffles on the skirt,
ecru being introduced here and there with
good results. The bodice had a slightly
pouched vest of white hsse, which was
tucked on the shoulder and trimmed like
the skirt with insertion and ribbons,
which formed a sort of loose yoke cut I'D
the front. Large green enameled sham
rock buttons fastened it. The sleeves
were ruched as well as tucked and the
bodice was completed with a white satin
teIt and collar.
Most artistic was q light gray poplin
lined with chartreuse- hued satin. GRAY
velvet embroidered with diamonds formed
the bodice. 1t was joined with grav
silk guipure showing the green satin lin
Ing. The yoke was V-shaped, wrought
with the SIN al!est tucks. Lace fell over
the collar in the back. A draped belt of
green satin finished the waist with a
graceful bow at the left side. The epau-
lettes were of the EN- broidered velvet and
insertion and the sleeves, tucked about
the shoulders, had lace ruffles inside
medieval cuffs.

Small remnants picked up on our

not make the tiny maids wear dull colors

With sad, sweet silvery sound,
And the golden globe of heaven
Was shining great and round.
The woodland dove was cooling
In breeze so cool and strong;
The streamlet in the valley
Sang, too its evening song.
The little yellow buttercaps
Were folding one by one,
All nodding were their heads,
For the long day was done.

We're footprints on the sod,
