! when your butterfly is done, sew small
! irridescent beads in the center of the
! wings. Your butterfly is to be worn
upon the bodice where the yoke joins
! the vest. 1t can be flattened until it
| covers nearly the front of the vest.
! A blouse front quite new, consists of
! three strijes of lace insertion, alternat-
! ing with two bands of ribbon. This is
/ fastened at the neck and falls straight
to the WaiStline, where it is confined
under the belt, or girdle or whatever

The most elaborate belts are worn.
|. If narrow they are made of very eX-
pensive material, gold or silver, cut
/ steel or gun metal If broad they are
pointed in the back and much resemble
a girdle.
/ A lace idea for the neck is fashioned
| by crossing a lace scarf in front, after
which a network of narrow black vel
vet ribbon is carefully laid over the
lace and fastened in the back with
pins.
The smartest spring gowns will be
! trimmed with 81 angles sequinS, jets,
bits of steel and glistening silver.
A coat of mail of new design was
worn by Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, New
York's leader of the younger society
set. The coat" was a Princess dress
sheath skirted and quite long. It was
entirely covered with tiny jet sequins
which made it glitter like the sun. The
novelty consisted in the foundation
which. instead of being black. was a
steel blue, making the glistening jets
look like an armor of blush hue.
These coats of mail are not so diff
cult to make. Any soft lightweight
wool material can be covered with
these tiny jets. The bodice must be
we'll fitted before the sequins are ap-
piled; and care must be taken to sew
them on in such a way that they will
not wrinkle nor bind the goods. The
cd jerseys which, by the way, are
coming in again, were ideal for this
jetted treatment.
In cambrics, lawns, musiins, challies
and other summer materials very neat
effects are produced by tucking the
goods before making up A shirt waist
maker who designs for shirt waists for
a Fifth avenue establishment, has pro
duced some pretty designs in waists
and skirts, all from plain pink and
plain blue lawn. The lawn is tucked
in tiny tucks not more than an eighth
of an inch wide, laid within a quarter
of an inch of each other. After the
entire material is treated in this way
the skirt and waist are cut out and
made I'D on perfectly plain lines. The
They are showing several of these
models in Fifth avenue windows.
The thinnest lawn is made up in this
way; over foundation of taffeta or its
imitation
Tucks as narrow as this are found to
iron we'll, as they represent little more
than a cording.
Purple and rose, two colors that do
not harmonic particularly we'll unless
in certain shades, are to be the colors
of spring.
A bodice of purple velvet was worn
by Mrs Lee Tailor, who was a noted
southern beauty. 1t has a yoke of Jet
sequins The bonnet which matched the
bodice was Of purple velvet trimmed
with plush pink roses which stood high
at the side near the front after the
fashion of the roses that trim the new
toQues.

over which is thrown a lace square. like
a handkerchief, caught at four corners
and finished with q stunning bunch of
roses at one corner and a buckle at the
other.
The violet fad, which ranges every
spring, has begun its course. There are
many violet novelties, one of these be- |
ing violet tulle which is very firm and |
strong, though it looks frail. It is like |
wire and cannot be harmed by rain or |
snow. Another is a violet satin cloth i
Of very high finish, which is used with I
the violet tulle, the two making ideal |
toGues and ether hat garnitures.
