&&&gkSsgs&gfSg4S

A first class theatre presents, when
well filled, a brilliant appearance.
Evening wear is much more usual
than il used to be, and a bodice once
accounted fit only for ball and dancing
is worn now at the theatre for a box
party, often without even the releaf
of scarf. But favorite neck finish
is found in a transparent gauZe scarf,
frilled with soft figured chiffon, the
gauze being crisp. The scarf is drawn
down in point at the edge of the cut
out in the back and lies in precise
pleats over the shoulders. The pleats
are narrow just little and are secured
under bow of ribbon just in front of
the shoulder. From the bow the scarf
ends hang straight. This allows only
a square of the neck to be barred in
front and point in the back, yet the
entire cut-out is suggested through the
transparency of the gauze while the
soft chiffon slightly wells the round of
the shoulder. With such a finish a
bodice that would be accounted a little
low even for ball wear is made appro-
pirate so Dame Usage says, for the
theatre.
A dress made especially for theatre
wear is pictured here and was silver
gray satin, it's trained skirts decorated
with from of pleated white satin elab-
orately embroidered with jet bands and
gold threads. The bodice was plain in
back but was pleated and embroidered

Red is the ColOrs in which the designer
of new dress goods work their best
tricks, and now that we have become
accustomed to this shade, we find that
many of these new stuffs are remarka-
bly, handsome. The material of this
pictured gown might three months ago
have seemed impossible, but it's bright
red rough surface was particularly at
tractive in the original of this sketch

lieved the red, at the same time decid-

TWO FANCIES IN ORNAMENTAL
TTON
TION.

The finish of tiny straps that was
so much used a year ago is still seen
occasionally but the buckles that so
often suggested a travelling bag or
shawl strap are now replaced by but
tons. Another advantage is that these
straps almost always make a good pre-
tence, at least, of fastening something
in place, whereas they formerly We're
all right if they looked as if they had
fallen in their places and stuck there.
In the bodice shown herewith four
straps of the dress goods-a green nov
city suiting-crOssed a band of cloth
at each side of the front, and each
strap had its pair of buttons. AnOth
er piece of white stuff came in the
yoke. which was edged with fur that
also ran along the shoulder seams.
Belt and stock collar were of black
surah, and the wired collar was of the
dress goods faced with green velvet.
The bodice had a full basque and
hooked invisibly at the side.
Fashions in jewelry change now and
then, and a current one brings us
along chains to hang about our necks.
The fashionable young woman does
this whether she has something to
hang to it or not, but there is no rea-
son for being without excuse because
she can hang anything to it from her
scent bottle to her latest admirer.

1t was finished with a short bolero of
black satin, adorned with white gui-
pure applique. 1t had sleeve caps of
the same material but the bodice
sleeves Were of gray satin. Bolero and
skirt panel were edged with narrow
bands of sable. In such a dress a wO-
man ought to enjoy play that was on
ly fairly good, especially if she view
ed it from the box.
A dressy velvet Louis coat with
handsome beaded front is especially
suited for theatre wear by elbow
sleeves, while the same coat with long
cuffed sleeves is right for late after
noon reception or for a carriage in the
park when the sun shrines. Our fash
ionable women differentiate their eff
fects carefully, in such particulars,
though they miss the economy of hav-
ing two pairs of sleeves to such a
coat. For the theatres light tan suede
gloves are to be worn to meet the
sleeves. FLORETTE.

needle. ButtOnhOle stitch about sew
eral Of the patterns and then cut out
the pattern, thus knocking out pOr-
tiOns of the design all over the skirt or
bodice. Put the material so perforat-
ed over a handsome lining, or you can
cheat and merely back the holes with
bright silk or satin while a foot ruffle
to correspond completes the deception.
The result is very handsome.
The woman of acknowledged stylish
ness wears a theatre bonnet some
times, but more often merely bares her
pretty head to show a becoming and
picturesque headdress, with a flower
tucked behind the ear or a bird of par
adise aflOat from a glistening pin.
When she does wear a theatre bonnet
it is rather an elaborate, heavy and
an ugly affair The pretty arrange
ments of last year, the little wreaths,
the dutch bow and the band affairs,
seem all gone by, and the result is that
folks more often than not discard the
atre bonnets altogether. The wearing
of rather a simple darkish cloak over
the theatre bodice is, except for car
riage folk, invariable, and with such
bonnet is out of place. The pictur-
esque black hat. with plumes and
touch of color to harmonic or bril-
liantly contrast with the cloak, is the
right thing. When she takes off the
cloak at the back of the box the black

BARRED WITH BRAIDING.

The prettiest tailormade dresses are
being made of cheviot or serge, the
bodice fitting perfectly and frogged in
jaunty military fashion. No style is
more becoming to a handsome figure
and the women who have not had half
the credit they deserved during the
NOW declining craze for loose fronts
fare now making their slenderer sisters
c-green with envy by appearing in this
style of gown. The proper skirt and

Golden brown broadcloth was the
