phia Press The prettiest one was a gown
made OF black velvet, the skirt long with
a draped founce and the jacket cut in
what Is usually known as the baby lines
about the throat.
The guimpe was of fine white lace
laid over pale green satin reaching up to
a wide stock collar made of the two ma
~terials; a lace cravat was caught in
front by a pearl pin. The edges of the
bodice where the guimpe was slipped
In were outlined with heavy black silk
cording. Another gown that was not SO
handsome. but very stylish, had a
hronze-eolored broadcloth cut quite low
around the throat. and off the shoulders.
The guimpe was of finely tucked mus
lin, ending in a stock collar of rose
colored velvet. The muslin was unlined,
but was rather too thick to do more
than suggest the pink skin underneath.
The wearing of lace as a chemisette and
collar is also becoming quite a fashion.
h Noticed at a tea the other day a
charming society woman of Baltimore
who wore a gray blue broadcloth tailor
gown. II was opened a very little at
the throat, and the chemisette was of
that thick valenciennes lace which is
usually known as the imitation, and is
very white and rather thick. There was
no lining to the ehemisette or collar, but
a narrow roll of turquoise satin was tied
about the throat and into a small four
in-hand in front, the ends of it tucked in
with the chemisette under the Jacket.
When she unfastened her Jacket / no.
tieed she had on a dinner waist of heavy
blue satin and a W bach and front
of this transparent lace.
OF course, this fashion is only for the
women who have not delicate threats,
but every woman wears a fur collar over
such a neck arrangement, AWAY
A woman who does not wear high
neck flannel in winter has no hesitancy
in playing these tricks, but the woman
who does wear it can never indulge in
the fashion of transparent yokes.
The idea of colored satin four-in-hands
is a very popular fashion. They are
made rather narrow and can be worn
around anything. Transparent ones are
also one of the fashions of the season.
I noticed a woman at the brilliant mu-
sicale yesterday morning at the Stratford
who wore a dark purple velvet gown.
The high collar and revers were lined
with chinchilla, but when she took off
the coat, the bodice underneath was of
violet silk finely tucked and very full.
1t had a very deep guimpe of white
muslin and lace insertions; the bertha
around the bodice was also Of lace ard
insertion: the guimpe was lined nearly all
the way with rose colored silk, but be-
came transparent about an inch below the
throat line. The collar therefore showed
the throat through it's fine muslin meghes.
This is a very good fashion for a woman
who has a round full throat, but a woman
who has any other kind Of a throat should
go carefully. One thing that the brilliant
matinees and luneheons of the seasons
rave proven is the prevalence of velvet
gowns. Black velvet is the especial IA
vorite.
Woman who rave any reason for econ
orny tellsme they find 1t the least extrav-
agant of fine gowns because, while at
first blush, it sounds expensive, still it
lasts through SO many seasons and can be
worn with so many bodices that it is real
ly a saving
For instance, the most elaborate lace
or chiffon or satin waist can be worn
with the skirt for the evening. A velvet
bodice is made as, all the others are this
winter to save the trouble of an outside
jacket. One can then depend on fur as
the only wrap.
The imitation veivets are not so popular
for gowns as they promised to be a sea-
son ago. But the fine Qualities are very
much used for bodices and jackets. 1t IS
usually better to confine your imitation
yelvets to colors and to things for even
ing wear where there does not come much
strain upon it. But in black and for
constant wear the cheapest velvet is the
most expensive.
It is modish now TO show more of the
hat-pin than Its mere head. SO the pins
themselves are made Ornamental.
The minds of inventive geniuses are
turning toward a pin that will stay in
the hat without any danger of falling
out. Recently there was a patented
split that was provided with a little
spring which worked by pressure.
A very nice hat-pin, with a head of
amber. la an amber fastening accom-
panying it. made secure by a gold chain.
The fastener" was stuck in the hat,
so that to lose the hat-pin you must lose
the hat also.
A very special little piece of jewelry
IS a Dand OF pearls connected WITH the
hat-pin by a gold chain. The pearl
band is used as a breach or as a pin
upon the breast.
The gold chain bangles from the hat
pin and makes a pretty bit of finery for
the woman who likes fripperies. The
band may match the hat-pin and be of
any Jewels or plain gold.
Hat chains are seen on some of the
T-~o~.11, - rTba,- ~ onI- x+1- in
another guise. One Of fine gold and
pearls pretended to clasp a huge nose
gay of violets upon a chenille toque.
Of course. it only pretended, but what
was its deception worth when it looked
so nice?
We w hardly got our winter ward
robe in complete order, and nov here
come the summer cottons and their
rivals, the summer linens, rioting in pro-
fusion in the shop windows to the ex-
clusion of almost all else. The new
dress linens are especially Attractive in
coloring and in the high gsas which
makes them mistakable for summer
silks at a short distance. Tea green,
striped with a darker and duller shade
Of green. blue and white, and scarlet
and white linens are very taking, unless
one happens to prefer the all-oyer tinged
amethyst linen, or the pear gray or
Saxou blue varieties, One can go in
