quoise blue with the plstache, or a girl will
pin in her hair a knot Of green velvet from
which grows out an enormously tall pistache
green plume. Another favorite device with
house gowns, be they for morning or after
noon use, is the wearing Of long gloves. For
this scaut pulled sleeve drops to the elbow
and there Is finished by a bow The loops
and knots OF the bow are tied on the inside
of the elbow and then gloves wrinkle up and
are tucked under the sleeves edges.
One way 10 arrive at novelty Of effect In
any costume Just now be IL for house, car
riage or street is to have the skirt made
half of one goods and half OF the other. You
may, as for that, divide your halves as you
prefer. You can have all the front of the
petticoat. clear round to the hips, of lovely
rosy gray beige, with narrow lines of zig-zag
black. narrow black and white quilted gauze
ribbon, that has a taffeta edge Another
way is to lay the skirt front In plaits, but
not to tack the folds, and a woman, all
artistic delicately flesh padded bones. can
wear with It Bourbon corsage of the same
silk. big slashed collar must fall upon
the shoulders Of It, under which cream lace
should be gathered. Such lace on a silver
taffeta in dahlia or scarabeus green results
in much richness OF tone color.
SPRING VELVETS.
Just as lovely and promising a material
for the spring season Is the striped liberty
goods now on any shops counters, for there
is sort of madness prevalent for small,
well-miXed figuring on every fabric. The
velvet is a great relief from the complicated
snares of squares and angles. and well-com-
pounded neutral colors, or the sprawlng
posies and gaudy arabesques 1t has not
introduced any new color on its arrival, and
skirts Of it are made quite simple. For
wearing capacity ii truly has no equal and
as a suggestion OF what NAV be done in a
dress pattern of it in hyacinth blue the
sketch is supplied. The close basque fits
down to point in front and hooks up be-
hind That is no new freak of the dress
makers for a goodly majority of waists have
hooked up behind this winter, and it's a
fashion that promises to be carried on out
into the summer styles One noticeable point
in this suit, however, 10 the position basque
tails, which as long as a month ago got
official approval in Paris, and have already
come over. Where the front of the waist is
cut out in point upon the bust lines Of
sparkling Jet beading finish the edges They
are repeated in with shirred cream net over
white silk. The collar Is net over silk, and
just an edging of these two is set, as a
finish within the wrists.
Another use to which liberty velvet is
largely put is in the decoration of gowns
made of solid dark wool goods pretty
disposition of 1t is shown in the dress for
young girl. The body of the braid stripping
1t and then all the back plaits of black satin,
or whito silk, or sapphire liberty velvet. Yet
another chance for differentiation over othsr
women's toilets is to have all the front Of
a cloth or silk skirt laid in broad but shall
low kits. turning one way all around from
hip TO hip
Slender women have fallen on this device
SIS a treasure, as well as on the applica-
ton of belthas TO Louis XVI waists To
explain what Is meant just observe the
sketch showing plated skirt and try to
imagine it in one of the newest of new
fabrics. a silver taffeta of a deep true dahla
shade. The charm of the new phase OF
taffeta Is that whenever 1t rises to fold,
or plat. or wrinkle, or wherever the light
strikes 1t the actual dye seems to fade out
