new PARTISAN TAILOR GOWNS.

Women who favor the Princess style
will find too, quite a surprising number
of new models to choose from, consider
ing how vociferously the death knell of
it's popularity has been rung.
One of the most attractive of the new
Princess models was made of a striped
cloth that aided materially in carrying
cut the long ined effect that is the Prin-
cess FORMS, chiefest charm. The mater
ial was a loosely woven light quality of
cheviOt in Russian blue with a narrow
plush like stripe Of black running
through it. The stripes were arranged in
groups of three. 1t was made close-ft-
ting and fastened over slightly to the left
side where 1t was cut in large BOUNDING
scallops, each with it's small frog caught
over black velvet buttons. A piping of
black velvet followed the edges of the
scallops and continued round the bottom
of the tunic. The fullness of the back
was supplied by bodets inserted a trifle
below the waist-band. The under skirt
that fell in loose round plaits vas made
of plain blue cloth.
With this gown there was worn a novel
little detachable collar of white gros-
grain silk. 1t was made straight n
high like the now popular linen collar and
had a broad scalloped cape of black gauze
heavily spangled and a full cravat of the
same at the front.
Draped over skirts may be said to
be with us again. But theirs is rather
an apologize ION approval attitude
still, and the woman who can afford but
one tailor built gown in her winters
wardrobe is afraid to embrace this new
departure until it receives Dame Fash
ions ultimate approval. Just now the
lady is rather coquetting with the draped
over-skirt. Every new and then 1t looks
as if she We're going to declare in it's
favor and before she commits herself an
other item engages her thoughts and her
attention and energies and she is Off
pushing to the front some later inven-
ton of the %couturieres art.
A Smart new gown of amaranth cloth
boasts a modest style of tunic that on a
casual glance has all the appearance of
being draped. In reality it retains a sort
of non committal, on the fence attitude
] between a draped tunic and the flowing
one. In case of the sweeping success of
either it will not 'be out of it." The
skirt fell in deep folds around the bottom
and was stitched with silk several shades
darker than the gown. Over this fell a
close fitting tunic with a decided point
at the front and the fullness at the back
was laid in a broad triple box plait. This
was cut shorter at the center and flared
to give rather a jabot effect as it Joined
1.-THE side line of the tunic. Rows of the
stitching finished the edges.
The Jacket was a single breasted bolero
cut round above the waist band at the
back and sides and at the middle of the
front merged into decided points. The
upper part was stitched in the form of a
square yoke. Tt was cut way in a v
shape at the front and was ornamented
with small slashed revers of black velvet.
A single row Of amaranth pearl buttons
fastened the bolero at the front. The
high ~corselet of black satin was pointed
at the front along the lower edge, and
extended several inches below the
bolerO.
Corselet centuries in velvet or satin, OF
a contrasting color to the gown have be-
come a sort Of winter fixutre. Nobody
thinks of encircling their waist in a
straight around ceinture these days
Even the ribbon belts that are to be worr
with the flannel shirt-waists claim some
p%retense to height and fit. Those thai
are fashioned expressly to be worn witt
the short boleros creep up in the neigh
borhood of the bust line. Riding in OF
the favor of the high corslet comes the
much elongated buckle, following deity
the curves of thef figure. 1t energies from
