This pattern IS at its happiest on silver

a design OF Ruelder roses is delightful

inc In a tea-gown with a lace collar
and long lace ends, soft crepe de chime

Medici collar being also OF the lace. a
conventional pattern in white on a
ground Of satin. looks particularly well
I'm the turquoise tone. and a very lovely
striped brOcade shows a chintz-like de-
sign. alternating with black and white
stripes
1t me say q word about foulard, for
this material continues popular. blue
and white being particularly successful
I'm conventional patterns.
A very pretty foulard that I especially
noticed was OF pale cafe au lait. with
white pattern all over it. Tho bodice
has n white plastron I'm front OF SILK
muslin. going across in fine pleats. and
white rcvers edged with guipure inser-
ton Of q yelowish tint. outlined with the
narrowest brown velvet. The sleeves
were plain, with row Of the gupure
and velvet going down the whole length
The skirt had n wide fiounce. headed
with the same guipure and velvet. ana
was worn over q deep rOse-cOlOred SILK
uudersltirt. The hat was exquisite. or
soft cream MANILA straw, with black
ostrich feathers. some standing up a
little. some gracefully shading the side
on the left, the straw was slightly turned
up with a cluster Of anemones. shaded
from palest pink to deep red. and having
black centres.
Wonderfully pretty Is a new material,
having somewhat the appearance or
grass lawn. but Of fine texture. with
silken pattern running all over it, called
"Tinon Broche." 1t is very 'wide-iO
inches-and with a foundation Of natural
holland tint. pattern Of bright green, or
a pattern of white, Is equally successful
Another variety of the same kind has
stripes Of shaded silk. Of pinch intervals.
This is practically merely finer
quality Of grass lawn with the addition
Of the silk patterns or stripes, and is
intended TO be used for the same
general purpose.
An absolutely new idea this season IS
the use Of grass lawn for cloaks. both
large and small. OF course. a lining Of
silk is essential, and when carefully
chosen. the effect is excellent These
look particularly well over light-shot SILK,
and the material is often supplemented
by pretty embroidery and killings Of silk
and grass lawn. The capes are either
only sufficiently long 10 reach the elbow
or much longer. almost touching the knee
/ noticed one, in particular, which was
quite short over the arms, fitted TO the
figure at the back. and trimmed with
pretty killings which ran up the 'front.',
around the neck, and outlined the wrap
from the shoulders 10 the waist.
Scarlet Innings TO fawn cloth seem to
find favor and there are a larger range
of cloaks which envelop the figure. one
OF these was made in petunia brocade,
with cape sleeves and a movable hood.
There are also very becoming capes,
made as a bolero with full sleeves, very
deliberately trimmed with jet / noted
one especially pretty cape made with
pyramids of killed founces. all round
divided by handsome jet trimmings. 1t
was quite simple, but very charming.
The fiat has gone forth that the bonnet

wearing bonnets nowadays Toques or
berets of pliable satin straw take the
place Of the capotes. once so much IN
favor. OF course strings may be put on
the smaller toques. and these take away
the youthful effect. so that ladies VINO
wish TO be fashionable, and yet not too
juvenile in appearance. may compromise
on black velvet or tulle strings. Some
of the toques in the soft gray shades are
lovely. and may have white tulle trim
mings and strings with a bunch Of white
or pcarl-gray ostrich tips These are
quite appropriate for any but very old
