and gilt spangles appliqued on the vel
vet. Between the lace points was q
velvet plait at the back which opened
on o. velvet bow. Three black chiffon
ruffies edged the green velvet cape
sleeves, with a double black chiffon
plating over the shoulder; while the
neck was a forest of chiffon plating
with tiny green velvet bows among
them and larger velvet bows were plac-
ed at each side of the front.
AN ELEGANT DINNER DRESS.
supplied by Lord & Taylor and worn at
a private entertainment, was of brown,
green and white brocaded grenadine
in moss patterns made over from green
and purple changeable silk, the skirt
finished by three rows Of narrow black
velvet in varied widths. The back of
the corsage is plain, with front of
fine black passementerie, edged by
small green satin revers, almost COW
cred by Venetian lace, woven In
squares, with medallion centres, and
from under the green satin revers,
comes black satin over the puff on the
sleeves, and the cuffs are finished by
green satin, lace squares, with an in
side lace trimming. The collar Is in
harmony with the sleeves, and plated
chiffon falls over the back. Wide
green and brown satin ribbon twisted
together forms the belt at the left side.
Fine white lace falls from shoulder to
waist at the left side, and tiny white
leaves are in rows on the black pas
sementerie front. Colored crash
seems to be the favored material for
yachting suits, and although the blouse
front is quite new, still the "reefer"
and blazer jackets are noticeably pop
ular, often lined with crimson or blue,
which partially faces the small revers.
Crimson or blue crash skirts some
times have a narrow colored cambria
band stitched around the lower edge
and q similar facing on the pockets.
A white pique skirt and blue cloth
jacket makes a jaunty yachting suit,
or the ordinary gray crash or linen
suit Is used by those who do not care
to incur the expense of a special out
fit.
Bathing suits are not now the un-
becoming garb that they were in days
gone by, and fancy collars are their
distinctive feature, some being made
sailor shape in front and pointed at the
back. White or red duck collars on
black brilliantine, or a pale blue COL
lar trimmed with white duck on dark
blue serge are among leading styles.
Fancy soutache braid in red,white, blue
or black Casually in contrasD are put
| on both fancy or plain designs. 1t is
an exception where yokes full to the
belt are not employed, skirts just COW
ering the knee, and the old-time mater
ials such as brlliantine, serge or fan
mel continue to hold popular favor.
A HEART SHAPED
amethyst set around with small pearls
and diamonds is the very acme Of
elegar ce in brooches, and although
many round stones are similarly fin
| ished a heart-shaped ornament is the
fashionable fancy. The splendor of
! heart-shaped brooches formed of small
| diamonds with an emerald at the CEN
| tire, or of rubes or emeralds with a
| diamond at the centre, may readily be
| imagined, and usually these elegant
| brooches may also be used as pendants.
Enamelled brooches hold their own, and
| fiag-pins look very pretty on yachting
suits, or green enamelled leaves, tipped
| with minute diamonds or pearls, have
| a cool, rural appearance, doubly at
| tractive in hot weather. Slender chains
! dotted with stones, are still in favor
as bracelets, but the newest idea is a
| simple chain with @ heart-shaped or
nament, which may be transferred.
