TO match the muslin gown underneath or Of white
cloth over the whitc-lace-trimmed muslin gowns
This is certainly an argument in favor of their
adoption by American women since Partisan
modes have tho lead. and the winter materials
are so much more elegant than linen and white
cloth. A pretty model in black velvet lined with
white satin and stitched around the edges In sew

To be one Of the favorte fancies among the new
models, The trimming ON the ovCrdresS OF this
green gown ia an embroidery Of black silk cord
spotted with white chenille combined with narrow
strips of the cloth gathered on like narrow ribbon.
Tho yoke and collar are Of lace striped around
with banda Of the velvet which cluster together
over the shoulders, and trim the bodice below
both back and front
Another variety of trimming for cloth gowns
is made by cutting the cloth in buttonholc Sits
and threading velvet ribbon through them. The
openings may bc finished in huttonhole stitch, or
il wide enough with fine satin cord, which is a
very nice finish Silk brads in fancy designs
are a popular trimming for cloth gowns, and
bands Of decorated leather in white or chamois
color are another fancy which is peculiarly "tIcc
