One OF the daintiest ball gowns OF the
season was shown. IL had low full bod
ice and ademi-train skirt in white satin,
and fashioned after modernized versions
OF roses ornament the side OF the skirt.
The top OF the bodice and the bottom oi
the skirt we've finished by bands OF black
Chantilly lace. A folded ceinture 10 cor
respond has net streamers, bordered
with pleatings at the back. The coquet-
tish jacket WAS a distinctly Louis XIV.
feature and was Of prettiest Pompadour
silk, white, striped with pale blue and
flowered with small pink roses. Around
the shoulders was aVradnated frill Of
rare lace and lace was loOped around the
elbows OF the narrow sleeves.
A smart little calling gown is new
French model and girlish and graceful
TO degree. il il made Of old blue
crepe de Chine, and the bodice and
skirt are in one, with pleats at the waist,
which give form 10 the bodice. Similar
pleats are on the shoulders and the
same effect is repeated in the back The
fronts OF the bodice open to show a vest
OF old brocqde. The same fabric forms
the collar and the lower part OF the
sleeves. A handsome design in black
chenille adorns the skirt. The sleeves
are covered with the same embroidery,
except the full puff at the elbow.
Among the now models for skirts
there are shown two or three that are so
radically opposed in style as TO make II
somewhat difficult TO decide which is
correct, especially as each bears the
stamp of some reliable honse, but the
truth Of the matter is that the general
appearance must be the same and then
whichever style is the more becoming
can be chosen. One iayorlte model has
bias tucks at tire side, very small, and
the seams with bias effects in the back
a double box pleat with narrow tueks on
either side and the skirt itself trimmed
with bands Of cloth. A model that II
very becoming TO most figures has much
IN common with the skirt that wal
fashioned three winters ago. IL has
biss attached hOunee trimmed win
hands OF cloth and two rows OF tnck'
down the center Of the skirt in front II
IA not made with drop skirt but Il
lined throughout with silk of the same
shade as the cloth, and at the back Il
auished with double box Pleat. An.
other skirt in circular shape is trimmed
with four rowe of tueks on the bias thal
left with the rough edge showing ane
are headed with rows Of stitching, Al
these skirts can be worn with diieFen
