Yachting Costume.

The best / have seen for long time
emanates from a well-known house and
is really worthy OF our consideration, as
not few OF us go yachting, and this gown
can be quite readily made if the descrip-
tion is closely followed The short mata-
dor jacket is, like the rest Of the costume,
of navy blue serge, but it has also we'll
shaped, m oderate- sized white drill sailor
collar. This is worn over loose blouse
of blue and white striped serge; tiny gold
anchor buttons, with buttonholes en-
broidered in white silk serve to fasten the
Jacket, and sailor knot of red silk gives
a welcome touch OF color. On the sleeves
blue and white bTaiding is most effect
lively employed. The skirt has somewhat
the appearance of a long tuaic draped
over peiticoat of blue and white hori-
zontally striped serge. A blue and white
braid shows where the tunic overlaps the
side, and sets of small anchor buttons
with the long EN- broidered holes are also
here introduced. The sailor hat is OF
white straw trimmed with soft puffings of
blue and white spotted chiffon. At the
left side is very handsome aigrette and
two shaded wings. Next the hair at one
side is q puff OF white chiffon.

will be gowned in sumptuous garments,
and that never before have such extrava-
CANT models been created by the great
dressmakers, who have let favored few
know that the princess gown is to at last
obtain that favor it has been threatening
US with for a bout year. This announce
mcnt is all very well, but certain figures
the princess gown does not suit, and not
a few have always regarded it as merely
an deliberately modelled tea gown, not at
all suitable for formal occasions, SO Its
success will be limited.
The Victorian modes are being most
charmlngly modified by several great de-
sgners. As nat ural result the fchus,
furbeows anu fri lis of long ago are being
readily adopted by our fn-de-siecle m aid
ems, who part TO them certain air and
style quite their own, that may be de-
scribed as charming as well as chic; and,
speaking OF frills, how popular they are.
We adorn our frocks of uslin, silk, NOUS
seine de sole, chiffon, etc., with them. as
well as our cloaks, our petticoats and
nightgowns. Indeed, they are to be seen
and admired on the short and the tall, the
thin and the stout maiden alike, for in
one case they run up and down nd in the
other round and round.

The Latest Gowns

Now being sent home from the lead
ing dressmakers are having their skirts
made plain on the hips, either without
ornament or else with very sma Ii founces
or lace insertions.
The blouse style OF bodice prevails,

we'll, and small boleros are still being
made. For travelling or morning wear in
the country plain canvas and cashmere
skirts are liked. and with them are worn
blouse bodices of heavy net or grenadine
gauze. Usually they are striped across
with very narrow black velvet ribbon, the
long cose-fitiing sleeves, full at the top,
being treated in similar manner. With
such costumes are worn very smart short
Jackets of nj aterial that matches the skirts.
Such Jackets have small basques and open

The Diaphanous SASH

Is one of the prettiest novelties intro
duced to US this season, but, alas, it is far
from being inexpensive, being composed
of either muslin. chiffon or mousseline de
sole and edged with very narrow lace.
1t has tucks on the hem-some have
twenty inches of each end covered with
lace and insertion, and the more elaborate
the prettier. Last week / admired dark
blue and white ftulard that had a sash of
dark blue mousseine de sole, much
trim ned with white lace and at dinner,
the same evening, | com mented on the
effectiveness OF cream white chiffon sash
trimmed with black lace and insertion,
which was worn with black Brussels ne t
dress made over white silk. Naturally
sasnes of ribbon have been ousted from
favor by these dainty conceptions, but
glace ribbon Wristbands continue in
fashion, for the pouched bodice demands
some sort of belt, and as all the newest
bodiots are pouched the dressmakers have
been racking their brains for novelties.
The most attractive thus far discovered
and also The most costly consists of enam-
eled medaliions set round with diamonds
and united with arrow chains.

ployed Is dead white. Such one can
readily be evolved from one OF the large
old crepe shawle so fashionable so many
years ago The one l alluded to had
round the neck most becoming ruche of
chiffon, the ruffiss of which were edged
with lace.
l have just seen piece of pale green
satin, sprayed with large fenr de lis,
which is to be made up into an opera
cloak; the lining is to be of green tone.
Deep lace will form the great Elizabethan
collar, but perhaps you will see it before
the winter season is over as it will GER
tainIy be a great success.

The latest fad of fashion is both sensible
and economical as we'll charming. 1t
is lace and ribbon trimming. Not that
this sort of trimming is in use for the first
time, but it is the initial occasion when it
has been declared the thing to use. Such
dainty effects are obtained with it. ard it
can be carried out to advantage by peo.
pie whose purses are either long or short.
For the summer girl il is particularly ex-
Ceilent, inasmuch as when properly con-
trived itimparts exactly that fluffy effect
SO dear TO her heart.
In spite of the fact that the tariff on
silks has been raised-it is the one thing
that the women know about the new tariff
bul-sllks have never been cheaper than
they are now, and particularly the
plain and figured silks known as Chinese
Japanese and Indian. 1t is to these, per-
haps, that the lace and ribbon trimming
forms the most charming garniture. 1t is

Chiffon and Laces.

We all dearly love our chiffon and be-
stow even more affectio n on our laces, Of
which we would fain have more. but the
price deters US, for none out The beautiful
and most cobwebby have powerful attrac-
tons. Now, have you stopped to think
how very costly in the end is dress, say
of white chiffon. how many yards are con-
sumed in its creation, how seldom it can
be worn and still retain vestige OF fresh
ness; really in the end how much less
costly would good lace be. l know the
first OUTLAY is very considerable, but if
you can afford it in every case purchase
ace; it will wear almost forever, an ex-
perienced lace worker always being able
to catch q broken thread, and clean it SO
as to make it just as good as the day you
bought it. The dear debutante is sweet
est in simple muslins and chiffons, but
after two or three seasons have passed
she will appreciate the lace and find that
a substantial sum invested in 1t is most
satisfactory.

tion on

lionaire son of SEQ Oh soldier of fortune
and OF an Indian Princess, excl ed such
storm of indignation in English society of
every class that 1t even found expression
in the columns of the metropolitan press,
the London Times in particular devoting
a lengthy leader to scatling condemna-
ton of such UNNATURAL and unholy
matrimonial alliances" To-day, how
ever, the infinitely more Objectionable
match le,ween Prince Victor Dhuleep
Sing and Lady Ann Coventry, youngest
daughter of the Earl and Countess OF
Coventry, is made a subject of general
congratuIation in English society and has
called forth mary expressions OF approval
in the daily and weekly newspapers OF the
United Kingdom. Yet Dyce- Sombre had
a mixture of good Scotch and princely
Indian blood in his veins, whereas Prince
Victor is, save for slight German strain,
wholly an Oriental, and is of lineage that

than illustrious.
Prince Victor is the eldest son of the
late Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, who for
time was a conspicuous figure at the court

we'll to remem Der also when speaking OF
this comb natlon that both are as appro-
PIRATE for winter as for summer, and,
therefore, exceedingly economical, espe-
cially in the form OF a teagown. Its style
does not change, and so summer bargain
in silk and trimming is just as good for
midwinter as for the time OF purchase.
Fifteen yards of 22-inch silk will suffice
for a teagown having Vatican back and
full front, and yard and half less will
do when this broadly plated back is not
used. The first of two very pretty gowns
in this style is simply close princess with
a demi-train and the upper part OF the
front SHRED at the neck and again at a
point below the waist line. bertha

shoulders. is edged with lace and inser-
lion and the collar corresponds. Collar
band and belt are OF ribbon. The sleeves
have puff at the top, an elbow ruti1e and
are also trimmed with lace at The wrist.
Soft wooden goods, such as cashmere,
would also be very effective for this pur-
pose, particularly with lace and ribbon or
velvet trimmings. The second teagown
OF China silk has separate Vatican back
or train and loose princess fronts shirred
in a tiny square yoke at the neck. Inis
is outlined with larger yoke effect OF
lace inserting and edged with lace iorm-
ing scarfs, extending 10 the bell OF satin
ribbon. There is a full ruche OF lace
around the throat and at the wrists. Inc
sleeves are full at the top and have deep
cuffs Of the lace to correspond. Both the
gowns described are of plain silk. but hg-
ured material is also used with good erect.
The sash is very much in evidence on
all the up-to-date summer gowns, and II
the fashion should be continued in velvet
for fall use, it will enliven many WOODEN
