the Prince 81 Monaco. One 81 the
LOUNGES wasa ii Renaissance lace, ex-
Quisitely selected, and undoubtedly
made by hand and to order, for it was
shaped to the skirt which 1t was to
adorn. The upper edge of the fiounce
was ready to be sewed directly upon
the skirt; and the lower edge was seal
Hoped and finished with lovely pat
tern.
The whole was shaped in such a
manner that, when applied to the skirt,
it would hang as q very full founce
Another was In Venetian lace, shaped
in circular form and fitting the skirt
perfectly. "Only Americans can AFFORD
these things" said the saleswoman to
me, lingering them tenderly as they
lay in wonderful folds in their white
tissue paper.
Tailor-Made Gowns.
A tailor-made gown, recently finish
ed for woman who travels IN the gay
but highly respectable set headed by
the Prince of Monaco was of Vandyke
brown silk faced cloth trimmed with
bands of red brown leather which were
applied to the skirt in panels running
from the belt nearly to the hem. The
foot of the skirt was finished with
sma,, pieces of leather beaded and ap-
piled In quaint design. This was ex-
tremeIy smart A picture hat of red
brown straw profusely trimmed with
scarlet peoples was made to go with
this gown, as well as straw toque of
pale blue trimmed with red brown vel
vet and rhinestone ornaments.
In thin gov" the double skirt has
the preference o,v~ all others Two
skirts, one a foot longer than the
other, fall over a foundation skirt of
silk or satin.
White taffeta makes a very service
able foundation skirt and the two drop
skirts can be worn under the thin out
side skirts.
A summer dress ordered by a lady
in-waiting upon the Duchess of York
and supposed to be for Her Royal
Highness herself, has foundation
skirt of white taffeta with the Ainiest
frill of chiffon around the foot. The
skirt is cut very close and is fitted
all the way to the knees.
A skirt Of old-fashioned Cluny lace
falls over this foundation skirt; and
over this skirt there is another of
Cluny lace falling to the knees; both
of these skirts are edged with the mar
rowest ruche of white chiffon.
To avoid so many skirts the double
skirt is made in different ways. One
of the SWEETEST dressmaking establish
built for member of the Empress
Eugenie's set, the most exclusive CO.
terie in Paris. The skirt began with
a foundation of black taffeta. Over
the foundation was set a founce of
white Renaissance lace as deep as
the knees At the waist was sewed
another flounce of the same lace, the
fiounce being just long enough to fall
over the other and cover the top. This
gave all the appearance of two drop
skirts over taffeta foundation.
New Parasols.
While this is not chapter on skirts
it is fact that the summer skirt oc
cupies such an important place in the
world that no fashion letter is COM
plete or half way complete without
mention of it.
Yet there are other things, parasols
for instance. Have you seen the new
ed satin? The handle has "a big arti-
fetal rose sticking from the end. There
are parasols in purple and white stripes
with punches of violets sticking from
the knob. And then there are count
less parasols covered with narrow ruch-
ings of chiffon, put on one touching the
other so as to cover the parasol. The
very newest vagary, however, is the
parasol made of the Persian squares
which come for fancy bodices.
A neat little seamstress goes from
house to house dressing up last sum-
mers parasols. She takes a hopeless
black one and covers it with narrow
ruchings of white chiffon, or Of black
tulle; or she wells it in pink ruffles
which lie over 1t in pretty waves when
it is raised. This little genius takes
the spots out of white umbrellas and
stripes them with narrow purple satin
ribbon and attaches violets to the
ferule and to the handle. She takes
the little figured ones of last year and
makes them elegant with small appli-
CUES of lace, and in the centre of each
applique she sews little rhinestone
ornament, palette or sequin.
