tating the question of sensible dressing
for rainy DAYS and for marketing, shop
ming and the hundred and one other oc
casions where it is almost vulgar TO
make display of fine or noticeable gar
ments. we find some perfect costumes.
One whole suit was of the beautlful
new venetian serge IN dull blulsn
gray. The skirt was cut to hang full
and free around the bottom, which
reached TO the top of the instep, good
216 inches from the bottom AT the top
il was arranged with fly fronts, which
bnttoned with round oxidiZed silver but
TONS On the right side was deep and
roomv pocket. On the left was the open
mo of the skirt. The bodice was i'll form
of a tight basque cutaway in front over
a simulated vest of very dark, rich, blue
velvet and a wide draped velvet SWISS
nalt All the rest was smooth. Down
tho fronts there were rows OF the but
ions and real buttonholes. The sleeves
were tight, with double caps, and they
had row of buttons and make believe
bnttonholes all the way down TO the
wrists. This gave the costume dressy
look. and yet one quite i'll keeping WITH
the general plan.
There was another pretty, though
rather more ornamental, gown, made OF
hair line poplin in deep plum and cream
obo skirt was not wide or f1arlng.
Around the bottom and half way up the
loft side front seam there was hnlsh
consisting of narrow knife plating OF
fine same material, which is not roo
heavy to look well so treated. ABOVE
this. all around, there were two rows OF
velvet ribbon three quarters OF an lnch
vide in q deep shade of plum. A deeI
swiss girdle was made OF the same arc
edged with the plating at the bottom
The upper part of the corsage was gam
cred full, and there was small ngar'
trimmed to match the rest. The sleeve
cams had rufles at the top as well ~
hottom II takes much work and als'
mich cloth to make it, but there is scarce
w a trimming that looks better thar
nlaitipg. A few years ago 1T was yer!
nonular and may become SO again.
The narrow velvet ribbon trimming
on dresses are also very popular, and
while not every gown or wrap Is Trim
mod with il. it is seen very often, ant
Il is always pleasing. 1t is applied III
variety of designs. In some there ar
aouble crosses of it, with the ends turne'
under and pointed. These crosses ar
made Of narrow velvet, when applied o.
Tho woke or corsage. and of wider for th
sL;rt and that naturally makes the eros
double the size. V shaped designs ar
aIso seen and pyramidal rows, wit
nail head buttons at the ends. but Tn
nrettiest way, think, is where Tn
pon;d;stant rows are sewed around tn
skirt One very pretty dress for youn
Iodv was of grass green popllnett'
Aronnd the skirt were clusters OF brow
velvet ribbon-eight in the first, five
,ho second and three in the third. IN
waist had small, round yoke outline
NTH four eouidistant rows OF half Inc
r;bhon. Below this the waist was gati
ored very full to the belt On the be
were sewed three rows, and above j
drawn TO a point, were three row
, The sleeves and double caps were all o
namented with it. The faring coii'
was made of brown velvet ;.
Aside from the sensible gowns wi'
senarate waists and coat basques for @
; eryday wear, there are hundreds OF "
r;st;ons ON the princess shape, mar
, % them draping across in front an
fastening at the left side. These as
general rule, when for any but mild
,.s,o- oro made short waikiki
