edged with sable, and completed with a
brown velvet bow. The novel feature of
the next model is an entire skirt formed
of a series of circular frills or folds
since they are cut so scant that they
have very little ripple on the edge. The
material is pale gray cloth on a gray
satin skirt. and each founce is stitched
with black. The bodice also made Of
folds, has an ecru lace collar fastened
down with black velvet rosettes. A
princess gown shows one variety of the
elaborate embroidery in applique of black
velvet and two shades of green silk out
lined with silk and chenille. The front
of the gown IS of velvet and the edgings
of sable. A simple model, with Elton

plat at the back. and another feature is
the elaborate buckle which Is seen on
many Of the new gowns directly at the
back.

Apropos of skirts is the uncertainty as

you that they are making both kinds.

the back and the one with plaits. But
at the same time you are warned that the

ers In Paris will tell you too, that Pari-
sian women will never adopt the fashion
which tends to give them broad ap-
pearance. The demand which American
women make for something new every
season Is responsible for many Of the
new models that flood the market twice
every year. A mode may possess all the
merits which go to make 1t generally
popular, be entirely comfortable to wear,
and altogether graceful in appearance,
but these elements do not insure an en-
during success, as We are ever on the
lookout for some changes.
The memory of balloon sleeves and full
skirts with pounds Of hair cloth in their
makeup is sufficient evidence Of wom-
ans willingness to suffer any amount of
discomfort, and still look like freak, all
for fashions sake. So there Is no pre-

material for the dressy gowns, as 1t is
soft and glossy and not very expensive.
Clifton point d'esprit crepe de chine,
and thin silks are quiteSas popular as ever
for the party gowns and they are quite
as deliberately decorated with lace and
ribbon trimmed frilis. Vertical bands of
white and colored velvet ribbon an inch
and half wide falling from the belt at
intervals all around the skirt are very
effective on the gauzy materials. Put
on the width Of the velvet apart at the
belt. the spaces widen In proportion to
the fullness of the skirt. The bands are
sewn very lightly onto the skirt and ex-
tend to the top Of the ruff1es which edge
the hem where they end in small bow.
1t is pretty to alternate the lengths,
making every other one a few inches
shorter. Muslins in dainty plain colors
are used both In summer and winter, nnd
soft sash of Liberty satin with nettei
fringe tied in the ends Is pretty addi-
ton.
The models Illustrated are more par
ticularly for cloth, showing something of
the variety in machine stitching and the
styles of skirts. A simple gown with
sailor collar stitched to form plat is

various colors trimmed elegantly with fur
and lace applique on the collars.

original idea in various ways. one Of
which Is scalIoped bands. so narrow that
the scallops meet in circles, dotted over

These are used on cloth and silk as well,

and arranged on the same cloth to form

A feature of dress trimming which is
very noticeable among the cloth, as well
as the evening gowns, is the lavish use
of silver. Silver thread is worked into
the embroideries and laces, while dainty
braids, and cords of silver are used in
every possible way to outline velvet and
satin bands on cloth gowns, or bead the
little frill of gauze ribbon on an even
ing gown.
The Importance of fur as dress trim
ming cannot be over-estimated this sea-
son, and sable, fox, chinchilla and baby
lamb are all in order. The last more par
ticularly for yokes, bolero jackets, and
wide bands. A six or seven inch band Of
baby lamb around the hem of tunic
overdress is very effective especially with
a band Of black velvet, one inch and
half wide, embroidered with jet, at the
head Of it. This also outlines the yoke Of
fur. The other furs are used chiefly in
very narrow bands, for an edging on
fiounces. or heading to deep bands of
lace or velvet. A little touch of fur, if
only on the bodice, adds much style to
your gown and every woman who can
afford new winter gown at all can man
age to buy a little fur. even though it is
four or five dollars a yard. Grebe too is
very much worn, and combined with
white satin forms a very elegant trim

made of them. and there is no elabora-
ton in trimming which is considered too
elegant or eXtravagant for their decora-
ton On the other hand they are made
very simply. with innumerable rows of
stitching for the finish For those who
cannot afford the entire gown a skirt in
castor color, pale tan or gray, will prove
to be very desirable addition to the
winter outfit. With the pretty light silk
and lace waists so much worn it makes
a charming costume for the theater even
ing wear at home and small parties
which, do not require full evening dress.
1t is infinitely prettier than the black
silk skirt with the delicate waists, and
altogether more satisfactory since it is
the latest fashion. A simple model IS the
best choice for this purpose, and rows
of stitching on the skirt itself, or rows
of stitched bands of the same cloth,
should be the trimming. Undulatfng bands
of panne velvet of the same shade are
sometimes used, but they are more eff

ringbone stitch in one bodice, and the vest
tucked white taffeta is crossed with mar
row bands Of black velvet. The edges
of the fronts are finished with folds Of
the silk The, second bodice has q vest
front and collar of tucked white satin
and cream lace neckrie with long ends
carried down underneath the fastening
with pretty effect. The edges of the bodice
simply finished with two narrow folds
Of white satin, and loosely hooked below
the vest. Bows of narrow velvet ribbon
adorn either side
Evening gowns are beyond all precedent
in their elegance of detail and frou-frou
effect around the feet. So many trans
parent materials are used this season
alone, and in combination with the vel
vets and satins, that they are plated one
over the other to give sufficient fluff and
thickness For example. the white ,taffeta
underskirt Of one gown. which is of pale
pink pressed velvet, has first an accord
ion-plaited f1ounce of itself: then a deep
founee Of white chiffon over this, and
over both founce of white point d'esprit
trimmed with rows of gathered gauze
ribbon. The overskirt of velvet has a
deep fitted founce of silk lace which
points up into the velvet at intervals all
around. and entirely covers all the pretty
fluff below
The lace Is threaded with silver which
gives a pretty sheen. and silver cord Is
the finish where 1t joins the velvet.
Panne. which Is pressed velvet, Is the
leading material for elegance in covering
gowns. but two fabrics which are very
popular are crepe de chine and lace.
The former in it's new guise, with a beau
tiful satin finish and dainty tints, is
charming. and lace of every kind and
degree of elegance constitutes a generous
part of many of the new evening gowns.
One pretty style is a lace tunic with long
transparent sleeves. and square open
necked edge with sable. The lace il
cream in tint and the underdress is
pale yellow crepe de chine. with lace and
frills of chiffon around the feet. The lace
may be cut in the form Of q redinGote
almost as long as the skirt at the back
and sides. and opening all the way down
the front over petticoat of silk muslin.
Underskirts of white. on tinted satin.
embroidered with applique lace, or flowers
In chiffon and chenille, are another fea-
ture of elegance in sevening dress One
of these. in white. is shown in the illus
tration. The decoration in black lace
and jet, and the over dress and bodice
are of black net dotted with spangles
The vest is of white chiffon, and the
belt of blue velvet ribbon ties in long

in with mauve satin edged with a black
silk cord. The bodice Stimulates bolero,
and is finished with rows of black velvet

hope for some happy medium which will
not entirely ignore the Importance Of
grace in outline. The many reports that
the circular flounce would not be in evil
dence this season were evidently without
foundation, as very many gowns are
made with this pretty faring addition.
1t has less fullness but it IS the circular
shape. Narrow rutf1es cut on just enough
circular shape to have the least little
flare are used to trim cloth skirts. They
lap over each other like bias folds, are
turned up on the edge with rows Of
stitching and the upper edge is pinked
narrowly and stitched ON to the founda-
ton. Narrow silk fringe trims some Of
these cloths frills, and again they are
piped with satin.
A new fancy in decoration is the use of
the cloth selvedge covered with rows of
stitching. In some of the pastel colors
the selvedge is white, and when stitched
in black the effect is very pretty.
The use Of cloth for trimming is anoth-
er novelty which made its first appear
ance among the foulard gowns in the
early summer, when the cloth was cut in
narrow bands and gathered in like rib

IN f1neness of texture, glossy sheen, dainty

Modes for Grown-Up People.

productions of the modes for grown-up
people just as far as small gowns can
represent the varied details of fashion
within their limited space and the bounds
of good taste. There are double skirts.
skirts with circular hounce and skirts
with plaits in the back variously IN
ished with the inevitable rows of stitch
ing. Then there are guimpes. yokes and
vests of all kinds. not too elaborate for
children's wear.
Tucked taffeta silk yokes seem to be
special fancy, and yokes of white cloth
striped with double rows of soutache
braid. one of white and one of black.
sewn close together. are very effective.
Plaid silk is useful too. for the yokes
of serge school gowns. and a plaid silk
waist trimmed with narrow braid and
made with velvet vest is another
useful adjunct to the school girls outfit.
Plaid wool gowns are always a feature
in children's dress and this season Is no
exception In that respect. But the plain
satin-faced cloths, Venetian cloths, cash
meres and serges have the lead. and the
dainty pastel colors are used for their
dressy gowns. as we'll as for older ones
