braid, each after it's kind, are the derby
and the hussar. The derby is quite new.
1t resembles blazer slightly, but Is open
widely in front. No provision is made for
fastening It. The collar Is narrow and
fat like that of mans coat, and the
revers roll to tho waist line, where the
rest Is cut away in rounding shape. In
the back II has a coat finish. Some have
the collar faced with silk of a dark color
or black, and the pocket lids the same.
One line of narrow black soutache outlines
the edge of the revers, and triple loop of
the same is put upon the sleeve. The
sleeves to all jackets are in gigot shape,
with the top fullncss laid in three plaits.
The guardsman jacket has q decidedly
military air, without being so snowy as
the hussar. The effect in this garment
Is obtained solely by the use of gold braid.
The jacket has "A dog collar bound with
fat gold braid. From the collar the fronts
hang open and do not meet by about six
inches across the front. The back Is made
like an ordinary blazer. Down each side
of the front the gold braid binds the edge,
and inside of that on each side Is the regu-
lation trimming of loops of gold soutache.
The sleeves are narrow gigots and have
braiding at the wrists, with full ruffle of
blue, hunters green and black serge or
oheviot is used for these jackets. They
should be lined in front at least. Capes
are not presented yet, as the season is not
far enough advanced to make them useful.
The present prospect Is that the sleeves
will maintain the present proportions and
form for the whole season. The tight arm
and the stiff little puff at the top which
serves to hold the more or less elaborate
cap in place will, with variations, doubt
less be the style. In that case the cape Is
almost a necessity, as the cap and puff
must not bo crushed. There are, how
ever, some novelties In the way of deep
yokes with collars that really are small
capes, designed to put on to protect the
throat In the evening air. One had
foundation of pale blue taffeta cut In cores
which formed a cape with slight ripple
and haring collar. IL reached only to
the edge of the shoulder, and 1t was cover
ed with white chiffon puffed on and held
down by straps of pale blue ribbon. 1t
was edged all around by narrow ruffle of
white chiffon buttonholed with pale blue
floss. This could be worn with any pretty
summer gown. Another dainty fancy
was plain round yoke, rather longer over
the shoulders than elsewhere. The yoke
was Of foundation net and had a plain
stock. Over this yoke and overlapping
each other were six plated ruffies of white
india silk, each with a row of pink baby
ribbon sewed on fiat. The collar had o
plating Of the same falling over In pierrot
style. This was charming, and, though
very light was quite thick enough to prove
umoiently warm 30 prevent taxing oold
Baby ribbon as trimming has proved SO
very pretty and so effective with little ex-
pense that 10 is seen everywhere. Organdie
gowns, as well as grenadine, fancy silks,
wool and ohallles, and, in fact, lawns and
all sorts of otbsr goods, are trimmed with
1t. 1t Is used like the narrow velvet and
insertion to make barred and latticed trim
mings A iavorlte way Is, where the
waist is In blouse form, to sew clusters Of
three or four rows of the ribbon around
the upper part of the sleeves, Another
way is to cover the waist with the ribbon
or velvet In lattice pattern. Many other
fancies are wrought out with it, among
them the Greek key pattern. All are
pretty. Ribbon is always pretty, too, no
matter where or how IL is used.
