Vests and chemisettes are playing an
important part with tailor made gowns.
Hard vests of uncompromising shades
are giving place all the way round to the
softest tones of rose pink and celestial
blues and white. Mousseiine de sole and
lawn form the chief part of these fronts,
nearly all of which display a bow at the
neck. Many, toe. are tucked by hand
and inserted with the very narrowest
cream lace.
To fit we'll they should fasten up at the
back, although some very pretty ones
in soft Oriental satin fasten slightly over
to one side with a jabot of chiffon and
lace, caught here and there with Partisan
diamonds or buttons.
Then. of course, the lace vests are
equally to the fore; these generally re-
quire to be arranged very fully on chit
fon.
They are very fascinating when made
with a little inner vest of soft mousse
line de sole at the neck, the lace again
appearing on the collar.
Some very smart people are tying a
very large white tulle bow under their
chinsAa pretty fashion which, when the
tulie is perfectly fresh, seldom comes
amiss. Remember, you cannot face Your
fellow creatures more than three times
at the utmost in the same piece OF such-
like ethereal fabrics; the same applies 10
chiffon if you tie it yourself. 1t becomes
a,asi too ..c~hiffon-y." Therefore, a MADE
up bow or jabot is by far the more prac-
teal. and unless the wearer is a genius
at tying them, also more becoming.
The stock of the moment is a soft ana
beautiful thing, and here, again, nous
seine de sole ranks first, with the little
corners on the collar made of guipure or
fine lace. the ends of the tie being fin
ished with the same.
Another pretty idea IS the stock ana
fchu combined, and his looks nice en- a
plain glace blouse. A fold of very fine
lawn or gallze is passed round the neck,
crossing at the pack and forming a sort
of rever-shaped fichu, edged and insert
ed with vaieneiennes lace, and narrow
ing off into points at the waist.
one OF the prettiest stocks, too, Is COM
posed of a judieieus mixture of crepe dc
chine aud lace. There is a little collar OF
the former, with cerrers of lace falling
over it crossing at the back and tying IN
the front, with lace ends reaching to the
waist. The same stock IS very nice IN
white washing silk, with hemstitcned or
fringed ends.
The prettiest fchus are made in soft
silk muslin or mousseline de sole, with
little applique Lace flowers inserted there
on. Perhaps the smartest of all are the
white ones trimmed with black flowers,
although very dainty are the rose-colared
flowers On a groundwork of white.
Women are always anxious to hear
about belts. The fancy for all kinds of
passementerie belts is no more, though,
of course, any one possessing a really
good bit of beautiful Oriental or modern
workmanship will do well to wear it. AS
/ have said, a really good old thing never
comes amiss.
There is a rumor that some belts will
be made of. Partisan diamonds. To my
mind there is something remarkably chic
about the lash of brilliants at neck and
waist, with q demure little black chif-
yfon or aii-white froek. Again it is a pet
ty idea to have ones belt studded with
stones to match some color in our cos
tune.
Many women find the popular little
toques very becoming and very easy to
make at home. New ways of trimming
are constantly devised. Immense birds,
dyed all sorts of colors, cover the whole
left side of many. Indeed, this is TO the
moment the most popular model in Paris.
A .mauve straw, with a big bird In pale
Glue, or a beaver straw toque with paler
tallle, and a bird paler till it berdered
on yellow, are both pleasing enough; one
with mauve, the other with a beaver
brown tailor costume. BY the way, the
mauve tina is modish just now is the
blue mauve, not the pinkish; this Is an
important little memorandum. 1 mean

be termed p~ervenche. Some of the mo-
distes make a Who'll batch of hats in one

mixed WIZ color.
straw is manoeuvred in every conceiv'
able way. One lovely hat, a sailor, in
navy blue leghorn, had narrow pervenche
straw plated all over it, and a front bow
of straw taken in wisps, just as one
sees a skein of Berlin wool. 1t had per
yenche wings, dyed on the inner side q

other blue. or one side black and thu
other white. These giant blooms, peoples

sewn into their centres. Red on a rec
