and. blue combinations, but the small cheeks and stripes are not as popular as they have been during the past two years. Narrow sontache braid is used often in lieu of the rows of stitching that all tailor gowns used to boast. It sometimes borders the edges of the gown in straight rows just a hairs breadth apart, or it Is turned into most elaborate patterns. Often the whole corsage is braided so heavily with the sontache in an irregular, winding pat tern that the material of the corsage is hardly discernible. Rather a dressy tailor gown suitable for a young matron was made of deep maroon lady's cloth. The skirt was a moderately wide godet lined with the same shade of taffeta. Marrow bias folds of the cloth formed a short round yoke at the back. At the front the folds continued into a long point that reached to the bottom of the skirt. Bordering the yoke at the point was a. trimming of narrow soutache. The corsage fastened at the left shoul- der and under-arm seam. It was fas- tened to give the effect of short bolero over corsage covered with the bias
 
 were trimmed with the soutache. The sleeves were close-fitting, with only the slightest bit of fullness at the tops. They
 were trimmed at the bottom with folds of the cloth that formed diamonds. Around the diamnd forms there was a trimming of the soutaehe.
 One of the pretty new models is built of gray blue military cloth. The skirt l.. 4loA a little at the front and sides. At the back the fullness falls in deep folds. Several rows of black soutache trim the skirt six inches from the bottom. The jacket is a sort of blouse, With a short full basques edged with the satouche. It is cut away at the front to show two cardinal strips of broadcloth trimmed across with stripes of the black braid. It has the effect of an under-jacket fastneing over linen chemisette.
 The jacket of the gray cloth has broad reyers and a turnover collar all bordered with the braid. At the front it fastens with the narrow straps of the cloth with buttons covered with the same. The narrow belt of the cloth fas- tens at the left side with an oblong cut steel buckle. The sleeves are long and close fitting and the slight bit of full ness at the top is plaited in flat plaits. They are finished with tiny cuff bor- dered with the braid. A pretty tailor made gown especially adapted to slender, girlish figure is made of Scotch
 cheviot. The skirt is a godet of Scotch
 plaid, blue and green, cut on the bias.
 Some of the well known houses have their silk Things to match exactly with
 the color of the gown. Unless one es-
 pecially requests another lining the
 changeable taffetas are used great deal by the French tailors. They rather pride themselves on an effective com bination of color.
 Scotch plaids are to be very fashiona- ble this winter, and nothing can be prettier for girls frock. The dark green and blue. with the stripe of red, 1 and the red white and yellow are es- | pecia1ly smart. A pretty frock in the green and blue is made with skirt gored only in the front breadth and the rest gathered into the belt. There is a pointed yoke back and front of the waist, on which are too rows of fancy black braid. Below the yoke the plaid is laid in wide and red, and is made with gathered skirt. The sleeves are puffed at the top. but have cuffs of the plain green, with the black braid. A band of the green with the braid forms both collar and belt. Another plaid frock is of brown poplin with lines of black yellow and red, and Is made with gathered skirt. The waist is full, shirred on the shoulders and gathered at the
 waist. Over the shoulders are three bands of black velvet. ribbon, which ex- tend half way down the waist, where they are finished off Nby loops of the | velvet and small gilt buttons.
