CHARMING SHIRT WAISTS.
Two decidedly charming shirt-waists
which were made for two of the Younger
set in the American colony in Paris CON
sisted of shirt-wais1 in striped red and
white taffeta- They were quite plain with
small sleeves, and with all fulness nicely
drawn in al the belt line. It was the
plainest waist imaginable. At the neck
there was a throat band. upon which was
buttoned linen collar, while simple
tie was brought around the throat and
made into tiny bow-knot under the chin
y little Elton Of rough red saun was the
feature Of this siirt-walst. Cut upon
eccentric lines. it was one of the most de-
lightful of small garments.
The sleeves were plain and perfectly tight
fitting from the shoulder TO thumb The
front of The Eton was cut in points that
reacted hish over the bust and the bot
tom xas also cut in points. These were
long and extended below the belt line, in
sharp slender points that We're we'll boned
10 keep them in shape The only fasten-
irG was fancy pin which caught the two
fronts together just at the bust line Over
the shoulders were four straps that held
The Elon IN place. Small circles Of white
SAITH upon which there were embroidered
the i,rettiest of aeur de lis and clover
leaves, We're aDplq'Ied at intervals OF q
few inches Around the wrists there were
bells of white SATIN.
Another slljrt-Waist was made Of plaid
taffeIa, the Dlaids being in willow green
and Ecmsn blue Upon a background of
cream The lines of this sllirt-waist We're
quite conventional and followed the round
simple styles. But the novelty was in the
front and in Tie lace pieces that trimmed
the shoulders. These We're Of heavy lace,
in tan color appliqued TO the shoulders so
Is TO form trimming something like
sailor collar. The 'front.' consisted of a lace
piece, brought directly down from the neck
TO the belt, with the outer edges cut in

band OF red satin. The cuffs We're SINH
larry treated. A stock cut high, and IN
points, matched a belt Of flaming red
ODD SLEEVE EFFECTS.
A shirt-waist, too pretty to be forgot
ten. was of CUR brown sur-ah, laid in mar
row Iucks from the bust to the belt. The
yoke was of the plain sl!rah trimmed with
an applique of butter colored lace.
The sleeves % this waist were OF worthy
description. for they gave the effect of the
popular bishop sleeve by means Of an odd
little device. At the shoulder there began
the tucking the sleeve: and this contin-
ued nearly TO the wrist. where the tucking
suddenly ceased and the sleeve ilared. At
the WTlSt 1t was SuCGefiiS brought ~ anu
confined in a narrow band.
A very beautiful yoke trimming consisted
of a very wide band of butter colored satin
edged with a narrow ruf1ie. Upon The band
there was a vine appliqued in natural
colors-small red flowers and green leaves.
A narrow belt of natural colored leather
was Worn.
Some of the black silk shirt-waists are
quite charming. One OF these was trimmed

TO form a plaided effect A little bolero
was outlined with thu ruflies and ruftties
of the lace extended round and round
the sleeves No black waist but has its
note of gold and. in this waist there was
a tiny cord of gold bord-Iins the rutties.
A belt of black silk was latticed with gold
The laca boiero will be worn more than
ever this: winter. The trifiing little thing
of openwork lace or embroidery is as
appropriate to wear With the heavy winter
gown as With The light summer confectien.
Escurlai patterns i'll lace viii be. used
Cor this purpose. and cream (not white

One very pretty ho!ero is made of lace,

corners. and comes but a very little way
below tina bust line There are Two
revers. which. turned back, are fastened

tapped with the gold thread.
THE LITTLE LACE JACKET
a Jacket. seen il one of the shops, is
made Of heavy cream embroidery. This
Jacket IS meant to wear with one par
ticu,ar gown, for the collar of the gown
must be the same material as the jack

The collar of the lace runs down IN
