OF The PAST
THOSE OF THE ILL-FATED MARIE
ANTOINETTE LIABLE TO
COME AGAIN
WHAT ELLEN TERRY WEARS

As CIarfsse in "RObespierre''-Pre
~ Costume for Morning Wear in
Coat and Skirt of Gray Alpaca
The Latest Trimmings for Sum-
mer Hats-GOwns of Grass Linen
Are Pretty.
The pretty fashions that reigned in the
days of Inflated Marie Antionette are
liable to come once again to the fore
ground of popularity owing to the sue
cessful and attractive appearance of
Ellen Terry III Irving's new Lyceum ven
ture of "Robespierre." AS Clarisse the
English actress never looked so lovely.
The part offers no opportunities for
elaboration of costume, and Miss Terry
has wisely chosen q glace silk Of dark
hues family Powered and shaded with
green, the corsage being laced across the
front with green ribbon, while over her
shoulder she wears a double fichu pat
termed with dark Oriental tones. In the
last act the black gown and the white
fchu are half concealed beneath a long
purple cloak, and her hair is most beau
tifulIy arranged. The puffs and clIrls OF
the period hang down to the waist and
are caught with a black ribbon at the
back, a style of couture that admirably
suits Miss Terry, who looks an aristo-
crat from the crown of her head to the
tips of her toes.
And the woman of fashion is insisting
upon her ciavats with even more enthu
siasm than ever. There are tulle cravats
edged with lace. there are lace cravats
decorated with little ribbons and above
all are there prominently in the modish
market the crepe de chine craVats frinSed
with silk.
An exceedingly pretty costume for
morning wear may be achieved in a coat
ard skirt of gray alpaca. cream lace
skirt tied with a pale blue crepe de chine
sailor knot, and a hat of black chip,
trimmed with black tule and black os-
trich feather. The black hat is of all the
most becoming, although we so constant
Iy ignore its charms. Black jet toques
trimmed with black feathers are attrac-
tive but the latest fashion of painting
black straw with white spots lacks other
charm than that of novelty.
The latest trimmings for summer hats
veiIcd with tulle, and tied at one side
with ribbons of three colors, the wheat
being formed into a wreath around the
Trim. Very much in favor too, alas, Is

waist and of huge thickness are to be
found in all the light shades, white and
gray being the most popular. These will
be indispensable additions to the foulard
and muslin gown-and foulard is to be
nigh on the pinnacle of favor.
a beautiful new summer evening wrap
is made of smooth-faced cloth. The cape
is cut up so short at the front and SO
long at the back that the lining is plain
ly revealed. This is made beautiful by
lining the cape with lace over a bright
silk. For example, a gray silk cape
will have a lining of rosy pink overlaid
by a deep 'cream-tinted lace. A tan cloth
cape is lined with blue, overlaid with
lace. Capes of this style are worn by
both maids and matrons, the degree of
occurrences or brightness making the
garment suitable for the wearer. A love-
ly wrap of the style described, designed
for a. middle-aged woman, was of gray
cloth lined with white SILK, covered with
fine black lace. The lace lining was
formed of a shawl that had lain unused
for years. The cape turned back at the
collar in big, pointed, unlined revers that
fell In cascading folds. The revers were
cut in one piece with the cape and the
lining of white and black made decora-
tive touch for the cape. The high col
lar was held together by a big, square
silver and rhinestone buckle For quite
a young woman cape of white cloth
would be charming.
Black and white gowns are much in
favor-the black and white striped silks,
the black and white figured silks and the
black silks made up with white, all are
immensely fashionable. The black silks
that are just relieved a little with the
white trimmings on the waist are useful
gowns, for they can be worn for so many
OCCASIONS and the skirts can do duty with
other waists. Black and white in wash
able goods is very refined and will be
very popular during the summer A clear
white lawn with narrow black stripes run
wide apart will look cool and fresh after
any number of washings, with stock and
belt of pink or turquoise blue ribbon.
Lace or dotted net sashes are new and
just the thing for the girl graduate to
wear with her simple white gown These
are quite wide and slip throughput do
