There were puffs to the sleeves, and shirred
crepe lisse long sleeves which could be slid
under the puffs and tied with tapes, or the
long sleeves could be omitted where O
more elaborate effect was desired.
Among the new silks we find many bro
cades, mostly In the jacquard effects. A
goodly share OF these are In bayadere de-
signs, particularly In black. The body Of
the silk is brocaded, with waved and cord
cd lines In the roundabout fashion. Some
Of the stripes are satin faced, with heavy
corded edges.
There are some very handsome new
thick silks for cloaks and mantles. Those
with cords like ottomans, grosgrain baya-
deres and sioiliennes are the richest There
are some damasks with raised figures,
mostly In odd and intricate scroll designs
and palm leaf patterns. Taffeta In fine
checks and In large plaids and also In pret-
ty stripes are all new.
Striped taffeta is 90 crisp and 80 pretty
that mapy Very dainty gowns will be made
Of 1t. There are certain effects to be OBJ
tained with taffeta silk that no other can
give. A daintiness attaches to 1t In some
II loses Its popularity again.
A reception dress which / saw was made
of red and gray taffeta In broken narrow
stripes. Tho skirt was plain and demi-
trained, though down the front seams
were ruohes Of black lace. The blouse
basque had slashed peplum edged with
narrow ruohing of black crepe lisse The
revers were likewise trimmed. The full
vest front was of white crepe lisse, with
narrow black lace edging sewed to all the
plaits and on the draped stock. A novel
arrangement was shown on the sleeves. A
quadruple shirring reached half way up
the arm both back and front. 1t broke
the lines in O very artistic fashion.
Nearly all the designs In the lighter
silks, like stripes and checks, are produced
In wash silks also. Some corded silks oan
be washed. There are about 800 different
designs In the printed silks. Some are
small, some large, some modest In design
and color and others very bright, not to
say glaring. But what with the dainty
checks and stripes and the printed silks
| every person ought to find a favorite.
Lace as trimming Is better liked than
ever and incredible quantities Of 1t will bt
employed. The latest fancy has been tc
| cut out the large sprays of white ohantilly
and apply them directly on a surface Of
rich mouse oolored armure. The desigr
In question is unusually largo and Is In
tsrlaoed In sort Of lattice pattern ovel
the whole front of the skirt. In a costum,
which saw one row was brought around
| the bottom Of the train. None was put or
the waist. Tho waist was high In thu
neck and had small revers and a Wild
whibe mousseline dc solo vest. This wal
gathered full and was slightly pouohed al
the front. There were narrow green vel
vet belt and high stock of the same In .
becoming myrtle shade. The sleeves wer,
plain, but the whole effect was indesoriba
bly, rich.
