remember seeing on Easter morning
very swell young lady with a lovely
ashes of roses broadcloth suit. The
front Of the skirt had square tunic,
the corners embroidered in white with
a touch Of silver. Below that tunic was

null or lisse reaching to the hem OF
the dress. The ruffle reached up toward
the back, but lost itself somewhere
about half way up, leaving the rest ia

| fully befrilled and embroidered cape
could make 1t look right in the back.
There is some new lace just out, ant
It is so woven as to give the impress
sion that 1t is festooned. 1t Is woven in
scallops, with the design of the festoor
very pronounced, so that it may be
sewed on a garment almost fiat and yet
give the appearance of a rich fullness
This is to be used for sewing on skirts
to simulate a tunic effect. Point dc
venise "all over" is used to make
sleeves, boleros, yokes and in a few in
stances tunics. Plain brussels net is
used to very great extent in drap-
Ing over other thin goods and also as
foundation to chantilly, to which 1t gives
new and agreeable lightness.
For elegant gowns for summer for
matrons and all young ladies not in
their first season there are crepons and
more crepons. There is almost no limit
to the different designs to these ma
terials. Some are Of wool, others OF
silk, and others again have silk plush
foundation on which the silk crepon
seems to rest lightly. Polka dots OF
raised velvet are also seen on some de-
signs, some very large and others quite
small, more like epingllne. The blister
crepons are fixed up in some way SC
that they show regular little squares.
Dots are really vogue, and there is
nothing that does not show them. 1 no.

There are also chenille dots over the
central part but sparsely scattered
and SO arranged that the dots cannot
come directly over the eyes. At the
very edge of the veil is a row of small
chenille balls like beads.
The new stiff stock collars have al.

of velvet, of silk, satin and white pique

The black scarf with white ribbon, o.
