Items About Dress which Interest
the Ladies.

The variety in millinery braids is
practically endless. The soft and lus-
trous chip hats that, have been so much
liked for the past few seasons, appear
in the familiar shapes, and q number
Of new patterns and designs. There
has never been. a more popular material,
and, while it is not specially durable,
it is so attractive. ard Becoming thatno
one is inclined to find fault with it for
this one deficiency.
A dress Of soft, lightweight ben
galine has a tWo-section skirt. The top
portion is gathered full, and the
founce, which seems by present-day
standards enormously full, is set on
to the upper part with puffs ard ruff
f1es. The skirt onens at the front over
an accordion-plaited retticcat Of soft
silk. The edges Of the skirt are fin
ished with puffs, and the flopnce has
q garniture of half a dozen rows Of
fancy ribbon. The upper portion of
the skirt is a shirred yoke, and the
waist, which is in blouse fashion, is
shirred also; the sleeves are made OF
masses Of narrow pufnngs, and from
the shoulder across the front to the
waist-line On the opposite side is a
ruche of chiffon, so full that it resem-
bles the petals of a chry ssnthemum.
A dainty evening dress is made of
taffeta and lace. The foundation skirt
is of accordion-plaited taffeta. On
either side Of the skirt, set we'll back,
are two perpendicular rows ct lace
edging put on cascade fashion. These
rows reach the waist over the hips,
almost exactly opposite to each other.
From these points drapery falls in
apron-fashion to the foot of the skirt
Immediately in front. This drapery is
edged with lace and garland of arti-
fetal flowers. The waist is covered
with a drapery of lace, and epaulettes
of plated silk stand high over the
shoulders. &%t S..>
A handsome theater, waist is made OF
yellow gauze embroidery, in gold dots.
This has lining of heliotrope satin,
which fits the figure perfectly. The
neck is cut square, and across the
lower edge of the open front is band
of heliotrope velvet, embroidered with
Jewels. A band of similar velvet en-

a rich clasp; the sleeves are puffs of the
gauze over satin, and the shoulder
trimmings are narrow ruff1es of the
gauze, hemmed and trimmed at the
edges with tiny beads of various colors.
One of the most elegant of evening
dresses is made Of black silk muslin
and cut jet. The square neck is filled
in with pale yellow chiffon. The cor
sage is almost covered with the beaded
embroidery. The skirt is in panels ont
lined by Jet bands; the sleeves are
plated and trimmed with narrower
bands of beading. Very full epaulettes
have narrow beaded fringe at the edges.
Embroidery and jewels are lavishly
used upon dressy costumes. A Paris
creation has the front of the waist, the
front breadth of the skirt, the epaulettes
and the upper sides of the sleeves
wrought in almost solid embroidery.
It is the extreme of style to dress
handsomely, and yet in such manner
as not to attract attention. The con-
spicuous costume is not good form, and
is not affected by women to whom the
world looks for guidance.-N. Y. Led
