Lace insertion and tiny silver buttons
used to decorate linen gowns are mos
effective.
Faille and all varieties of corded silk
will be in great vogue during the two
seasons before us.
Tucking, milliner's folds and rows OF
galloon or ribbon trim many of the new
light-wool gowns for general wear.
The grays are graduated in tone and
known as platine, aluminium, nickel and
silver, the paler shades being more pop
ular.
In Paris belts of goatskin, black and
white speckled, and fastened with polish.
ed steel and turquoise and ruby clasps,
are fad.
1t is the proper thing to wear embroid-
cred silk stockings to match the gown.
Very exquisire hosiery is worked in rose
buds, violets or forget-me-nots.
A shaped hounce decorates' the newest
long ulster coat. 1t has a high collar,
and in point of color light gray promises
to Gust tan, which has held its own so
long.
Velvet trimmings will find unlimited
favor this winter, and dressmakers are
still utilizing all kinds and shades of mar
row ribbon as trimming for new autumn
gowns.
Overskirts and draperies are becoming
general on the light, fluffy type of even
ing gown, and they will no doubt be
universally adopted for evening wear be-
fore winter sets in.
English women of fashion are wearing
shoes and stockings to match even their
day gowns. Colored shoes have never
taken we'll in America. Unless perfect
match is possible the effect is very ugly.
A magnificent tea gown, designed in
Paris for New Yorker, is made of rcd
dish guipure over white liberty silk. The
corsage fastens with two large choux in
black tulle, long ends of the tulle falling
70 the hem of the gown.
A novel finger ring is made to send
forth a spray of scent whenever TIE
wearer pleases, or, to speak more accu-
rately, when she is wise enough to keep
the receptacle we'll filled. Other rings
are set with tiny watch.
Few women can afford to adopt the
eelskin sleeve, with nothing in the way
of frill, puff or epaulet to give the re-
quired breadth to the shoulders, but all
shoulder trimmings must be exceedingly
small to meet fashionable demands.
The most fashionable handkerchiefs of
the moment are bordered with narrow
colored Valenciennes lace. They may be
fashionable, but the woman of really
refined taste avoids everything but pure
white in her linen, from her handkerchief
to her nightdress.
Many of the latest Partisan toques are
ablaze with a mixture of red and orange
that almost defes description. Velvet
draperies in rich orange, emerald and
petunia are yelled with crazy net, dotted
here and there with sparkling jewels and
jewelled pins of large dimensions fasten
loops and twists or hats and bonnets.
Chains of all sorts and sizes are the
order of the day. The more small jing-
ling ornaments that can be crowded on
the lorgnette chain the more fashionable
it becomes. Paris sends us brand new
chain, showing sort of Grecian border
formed in steel and black enamel united.
The whole thing is fully half an inch in
width.
Chenille and straw blended together
form bold patterns for the establishment
of bodices and skirts. Straw embroidery,
by the way, is being much employed on
muslin evening gowns, and some beauti-
full tulle ball gowns are worked all over
the front with straw, the sleeves and belt
being of turquoise blue or nasturtium
velvet.
