A Remodled Gown.

| HemOnleO IONh'
| If you doubt that French woman
can do wonders with a garment Of last
season you have only to examine few
that have been through her fingers.
Under her careful supervision the in
expensive Mttle seamstress can work
such miracles that you would never
recognize the former state.
A well-to-do young matron OF the
Foubourg St. Germaine, that Murray
Hill of Paris showed me gown which
at first sight looked as though it were
just arrived from one of the smart
shops of the Boulevard Haussmann.
Instinctively turned the waist to look
at the name upon the band. But there
was no name; neither had the garment
the matron told me-anything TO rec
ommend it in the nature of expense
| Last season this dress was cream
| colored cashmere, with round waist,
slightly bagging in front. The skirt
! had a habit back, one OF those plain
| backs which year ago were so fash
| ionable
/, Well, in making it over the young
| matron had removed the collar and
stock entirely; and in their place had
| attached very deep sailor collar OF
| butchers linen embroidered in blue
| silk. The front was continued in two
| long stoles, which crossed upon the bust
and were drawn under the belt, so as
| to hang nearly to the bottom of the
| skirt. The ends were scalloped and
very neatly embroidered in blue. The
collar laced in front with blue silk
cords which were latticed over tiny
! buttons. The neck was low and
square-the very newest Paris style.
To make the transposition more COM
plete the entire surface of the goods
had been striped with narrow black
satin ribbons, put on in such a way as
to form points in the front and in the
back. The waist was striped in the
/ same way. Small cuffs of the linen en-
broidered in blue set off the wrists.
The habit back. no longer in fashion,
was split right in the middle, and over
the opening thus made was set large
double box plat of the cream goods,
thus making the skirt decidedly fash
onable in cut.
A rough straw in natural color was
trimmed with black velvet band; and
at one side there was an immense bow
of black velvet, dotted with blue
chenille.
BoIero Designs.
The bolero designs are more and
more numerous. The smallest one was
recently worn over a brown foulard
stamped upon a cream ground. This
little bolero was made of batiste and
lace cunningly used in combination and
fitted to the figure by shirrings at top
and bottom. 1t was front bolero
only. and was held by narrow black
velvet straps over the shoulders.
Narrow black satin ribbons are ex-
te1Sively used, and with good results
/ charming arrangements requires
IA IDS and yards OF ribbon. The belt,
Which consists of narraw bands OF the
ribbon, is so arranged as to be at
tached to a broad satin piece in the
middle of the back. This is formed by
covering piece of well-boned erinoline
with black satin. The strip, which is
not more than three inches wide, Is
| placed UP and down in the middle of
| the back: and to each side of the rib
bons are attached. Four or FIVE rib
| bons start in this way In the middle
Of the back. and are brought around
| to the front, where they are tied in a
bow with long ends. which hang to the
| ground.
/ Narrow black ribbons are attached
TO the back Of the hat and are crossed:
after which they are brought around
to the front and tied under the chin.
The bow Is fastened by brooch IN
