Tea gowns and house dresses and morn.
ing jackets are claiming much attention,
and we see many very handsome things
in that line The illustration shows a
few of these better than one could de-
scribe them. There are some most beau.
tiful new materials intended expressly
for such garments, the most dainty one
being of soft crepe de chine with swivel
figures woven at quite wide intervals
over the surface in soft pinks, greens,
blues, yellows and other delicate shades,
the whole picked out with gold or silver
thread. The designs are far apart and
thus allow any sort of arrangement of
drapery.
There are several fancy silks designed
expressly for the fancy morning jackets,
mostly in narrow stripes or small figures.
The jackets can be worn with perfect
propriety at informal teas. the one
thing most particular being to have them
suitably trimmed. By following the gen
eral plan, trimming of any preferred kind
can be applied.
They always tell us about Solomon
when they want to impress upon us the
unusual righteousness of any conglomera'
ton of new goods OF garments gathered
together for new. season. l feel sure
that old SoloI3on never saw such an ar
ray of beautiful things as are now on
view The wisest man Of his time
would open his eyes if he saw half the
things l have just seen.
There were cloaks that looked like tea
gowns, so richly were they ornamented
with lace, chiffon and embroidery, to say
nothing of the material itself. There was
one made Of pearl gray cashmere sub
lime. 1t hung from a yoke to the ground
in a sort Of loose sack and had quite
a train in the back, while the fronts hung
open, showing complete lining of very
; rich pale pink satin. brocade. On each
side of the front there was a light stray
Cling pattern of silver embroidery. This
extended nearly to the waist.
All down the front there was perfect
fluff of chiffon ruft1ing, white, with pale
pink buttonholing on the edge. There
were over six separate ruff1es, all gather
ed into one seam. There were two OF
three smaller ones sewed along the inside
edge. The sleeves were large and gather
and the chiffon. The collar was so large
just little Of the face. There was a

chain to hold it..
Just imagine Solomon trying to under
stand the mysteries of all this! One may
say that all the cloaks look more like tea
gowns than the ten gowns do themselves.
when there is q cloak for day wear Of
| the long variety, it is made with studied
simplicity. The only .orpau1entation per.
INVISIBLE consists Of stitching, mostly in
strap design. Some OF them have bias
strips stitched upon them made OF satin
either in fh< exact shade or one or two
k shades darkers:ss Ii there is any other

One cannot nay the same for the short
spring capes,s for they are literally; Gov
cred with everything you could imagine
The other day saw several Of these in
one place., and they were fairly loaded
with all sorts of things. The pretties'
Of them was made Of pale heliotropt
Relutina and lined with white satin. A
bias sprung founce of the same was sc,
upon the bottom, and this, as well as the
rest, was lined with cream satin. Al
most everything that is lined is lined
with satin. On the outside Of this rufae
was an application Of rich renaissance
lace. Under the edge were the usua
chiffon frills to add ightness to The
whole. The high collar, like the poor, il
always with us, and these collars are a.
high as can be worn.
| This particular kind Of cape is rath
er more adapted for visiting and t
wear at teas and afternoon receptions
than general street use. The collars are
always faced with shirred or very mar
row chiffon ruf1les. On the front Of this
cape were two lor,g scarfs Of the velu
tina, lined, like the rest of the cape, will
deep fall of the chiffon at the bottom.
