Z, Is prett1Iy trimmed Witii yefver collars,
! cuffs, pockets and yokes, while ribbon
| bows and lace over the yokes or other
parts are often put for added effect.
| There are dainty Scotch fann$ls, which
make the neatest and incest OF morning
gowns for young women, and old ones,
i too, and hannelette is offered In such a
variety OF designs and color that many
persons buy it. It is cheap and very pret-
| ty until it Is laundered. That takes away
all its beauty.
Elder down flannel is the coziest, soft
est and by all odds the warmest and best
of all the materials for early morning
wear This is produced in so many
weights, degrees Of fineness and colors
that / despair Of telling Of them. They
are usually made with half fitting back
and loose front, with thick silk cord and
tassels to match or ribbon half belts.
| Velvet collars and other accessories gen
orally are added to these, but if one
wants to be particularly comfortable in
one Of these let her have a swans down
of fur boa sewed around the neck Bern
hardt knows what she is doing when she
buries her face in fluffy mass.
There Is a small movement on foot to
make black silk undersarments fashicna-
Bile, and we find few black china silk
chemises, drawers and nightgowns. Pet
ticoats we have had long time. But,
aside from the contingent Of worshipers
Of new idols, these black undergarments
find few adherents. White is so much
cleaner looking
know one pretty lady who took such
a great fancy for black silk underwear
that she even had black silk sheets, but
she soon grew tired of it all. This was
six or seven years ago. Perhaps the
j fashion for black underclothes will sue
ceed this time.
Among the handsome new dresses for
dinner, reception and visiting are three
really very fine ones
One Is Of ashes Of roses peau de CANT
silk. The skirt and waist are both plain,
but overlaid with cream colored renais-
sance lace In form of founce at the bot
tom Of the skirt and vest In front.
There is narrow belt of dark gray vel
vet. The collar Is OF velvet oyeriaid with
lace and has full ruffie at the upper
edge. The sleeves are straight and tight
and end at the bottom with chatelaine
4 cuffs Of velvet covered with lace. This
gown is peculiarly refined and elegant.
Another and rather more striking gown
! was Of automobile red corded taffeta
The upper part Of the waist was overlaid
with slender design In white lace ap-
| plique. Around the bottom Of the skirt
were six narrow rufies of black silk mus
lin edged wi6l black satin ribbon. There
was an oyeEdress In pinafore shape Of
black silk muslin wrought with black,
green and iridescent spangles IN Persian
design. The sleeves were covered with
it also. The whole gown at a short dis
tance had a sort Of coppery color 1t
was very handsome and not so glaring as
! one might think, the black toning it
down. The belt was black and the ruffles
/ 60 the sleeves.
! All lace dresses are to be much In evil
dence. One design had a canary colored
! underslip of silk and fringed sash and
collar OF the same. The whole outer
dress was Of white net with applique of
heavier lace upon it in irregular design.
Across the front breadth was a narrow
| lace founce and another to simulate a
| tunic.
! The waist had a yoke Of heavily ap-
! piled lace. The vest was gathered and
had lighter design. The sleeves were
gathered. The sash consisted of one
width of soft taffeta with q deep knotted
fringe. Fringe Of all kindssis "in."
Fringe is used to trim almost every
thing, but its most particular mission
seems to be to garnish skirts. It looks
almost ridiculous to see handsome dress
with one or two rows of "mintyv little
Tom Thumb fringe sewed around the
bottom, Some Of the gowns have COM
/ plete oyerdress Of the knotted heading,
often In different styles OF knotting.
