st Il rather unusual At the beginning
Of winter, to see no many cloth gowns
Of such light colors and elaborate de-
signs. Besides the much-trimmed

year, ago. with plain skirts, short. tight
hitting waists fastened with bone buttons
and triWmed with machine stitching,
Eminently practical and good style are
these gowns. excepting that the skirst are
btili absurdly long and touch at the sides

summer the useful gowns will have short

4ouble-faced cloths, without lining. These

Apparently women have found that they
i. cannot get along without at least one skirt
1And coat costume. and whom It IL possible
( 9hey have two or three, and with them

The handsomer ana more elaborate cloth
gowns for afternoon are becoming mora
and more elaborate ana expeneiye every
day for the work on them il Of the An
est kind, The cut work ana the different
forms Of applique are seen on every smart
gown. until It h wonderful how much va
Fiety there can be obtained, No poor work
= possible on these liRht cloths. and the
lining that shows whsre the cloth Is cut
sway must also be OF expensive quality.
The advantage OF this style Of trimming
ls that the nat effect that IL 20 fashion
able can best be carried cut by 1t. A li9ht
gray gown will have panel 1t the side OF
the dkirt. or the front breadth lined with
front of the waist, which will be absolutely
tight 1tting. and covered with the cut
work. leaving only q shaped yoke Of the
same color Al the lining Or there win be
= band Of tho cut work half way up the
skirt and extending completely around it,
and the sama design will be repeated
around ths waist covering the upper part
of the siesve. Still another plan II to have
designs OF cut work at the bottom of each
breadth on the front of the waist and ON
me- slaeveA This. however. IL more On the
applique order Of embroidery.
