blue silk has a very deep set Of double
ruchesses upon the skirt of blue chif-
fon. Fringe, that Oldest Of new mater
ials. is used for trimming the double
tunic Of this gown and it's soft graceful
lines hcighten the fairy-1ike air.
The front Of the Princess is adorned
with a plastron Of Russian lace, en-
broidered in jewels Of all colors making
a garniture royale, and at each side Of
the plastron is 4 tiny ruching Of chiffon.
A jeweled strap extends over the bare
shoulder. The sleeve royale is one thai
differs from the others. "Wil you have
the sleeve royale?" the modistes ask; and
if you assent they Will build you one
sleeve composed of a fiat jeweled strap,
in real gems if you can afford the eN-
t~rayagance, while the other sleeve will
consist of a big double ruche of chiffon
TO match the tlounce around the foot ot
the gown.
Another variation of the sleeve royale
has a shoulder strap of velvet With
Princes feathers set high upon the strap.
The other is q jeweled band, or a fiat
band of silk. Seldom are the two should
ers trimmed alike in the new royal TRIM
msngs which are so fashionable this
year.

the invisible cord which is manufac-
turad in the ribbon. Purchase no RIB
bon for trimming which is not provided
with this shirring string.
The ribbon is used trimming UNDER
skirts, skirts thai fall below the tunlc. It
is used, in it's tiniest width for bordering
a low neck. 1t is used for edging a tunlc
and for many of the small offices form
erlv performed by ruchingS.
Chou rosettes are also much useu.
The chou rosette is such a pretty finish.
Sleeves are made entirely OF rosettes' One
Gown which was decorated with ms
delicate trimming was or Diuelte sim
with plain skirt, bordered with a thick,
though not large chiffon edging. TO give
the edge a fullness a narrow strip OK
blue silk was sllirred in the ruchlng.
The tunic or oversl1irt was of plain
fine net lace upon which was appilaued
small silver lowers. These can be puf-
chased for a song and appllqued to lace
or to silk. They are very decorative ana
come in all the metals, but silver is the
prettiest.
The waist was but a berthe, very full,
thus giving a bust to a flat chested girl.
The chou rosettes trimmed the berthe
and also the tunic, following all around
the edge and UP the middle of the front.

admiration, then pause to study how the
chic result is obtained. Take a gown or
rose colored ~bengaline which was much
admired. 1t was trimmed with several
rouchesses of white chiffon and around
the foot was a very large full trimming
of the chiffon.
The gown was a Princess. Up its en-
tire front extended a very broad piece OF
lace, beautiful lace it was, of an old va
riety, perhaps Venetian underlaid with
White satin. The lace was quite a poem.
But the chic result was not obtained
by any of these things, but by the last
touch which the modiste added to the
gown before it left her hands. It was
in the shape of a very large rosette OF
delicat tie and in the middle was q buckle
of gold. 1t supplied the missing note and
the rose colored bengaline became more
beautiful than many of the more expen-
Sive costumes.
There are many lovely shades of yell
low. One of them called sunlight yellow,
shades toward blue in a most curious
way. This blush yellow is trying eX-

Shows green when the light strikes it in
a certain way.

dress was of sunlight yellow silk, plair
and rather tight on the hips but fiarius
