A London built bridal gown is of
creamy satin. The skirt has the new
cut with deep flare embroidered IN
frosty silver and white silk threads in
The waving design of a Spanish founee.
There is a long train with a narrow hem
of silver embroidery to distinguish 1t
from the folds of the rest of the petit
coat. The body is close-ftting and laces
up the middle eff the back. This is to
leave the trent an unbroken mass of sill
yer embroidery. very fine and delicate,
like genuine frost work The sleeves are
plain cream satin, the seams piDed with
white and silver-twisted cords. There is
a slight puff on the shoulder. 1t is inn
possible to wear long gloves with long,
tight sleeves, so the gloves are four-but-
ton length only. Slippers of cream satin
are made to match with a piece of the
dress material:
We have long been used to blouses and
collars on the left, but now comes
a new model for spring skirt 1t
opens on the left side to show panel of
satin or braiding or embroidery. A love-
ly dress of soft pigeon gray cashmere
has the skirt slit on the left side from
belt to hem. This opens over panel of
white satin. which is richly encrusted
with silver braiding in regular conVen-
tional design. A guimpe of satin is al
most covered with silver braid. The waist
below the guimpe has its fullness drawn
tightly down, what is known as a baby
front, very becoming, yet very simple
style of fashioning bodice. The waist
opens at the left below the guimpe. Tight,
long sleeves are held to the arm by mar
row bracelets of white satin, showing a
line OF silver braiding.

Bias velvet bands, which are stitched
an eighth of an inch from each edge, are
much used as dress trimming, and are
quite pliabie and easy to apply in pat
terms where corners are to be turned,
such as scrolls, bow-knots and wall OF
Troy, says the s.Womali's Home Conn
panion.'' BY applying jewels or spangles
to these bands, one can have, at tri-
fling expense, the effect of some of the
latest Paris gowns. Lace insertions are
ieweIed and spangled and applied in the
same way with charming results on gowns
as well as ON the new spring millinery.
There is an astonishing variety in the
richly beaded and jeweled laces and nets

stud the transparent fabrics. Rhine
stones are sparingly used, but they do not
produce such rich Oriental effects com

The spring goods for draperies are real

and linen has a ground work of apple
green; ON this are punches of roses in
rich red, surrounded with clusters Of
leaves and flowing design in cream
white. This is 50 inches wide, and comes
in many other colors. They are most
suitable for portieres and window cur
tains.
