in front is effected by concealed hooks and
eyes, and is marked over the chest by six
richly cut crystal buttons set in silver.
A novel little Zouave jacket of black
printed silk treated like the border on the
skirt extends around the back. having a
square yoke of the white fur above, and
a fitted piece of Irish guipure lace follows
the square line of the jacket at the back
and ends in two short tabs over each
shoulder. The waist is encircled by a
girde of black silk ribbon which fastens
in the elongated front with a buckle of
crystal set in silver. The tight sleeve of
old-rose cloth is capped with an epaulette
of Powered black silk embroidered and
appliqued like the skirt border, and the
deep appliqued cuff is made to match and
finishes at the slight flare by a ruche of
cream colored mousselne de sole.
The stylish toque which accompanies this
costume is from the ateliers of Mariscot
Soeurs. 1t is made OF open work fancy
straw, of a rose shade to match the gown
and has tiny black silk ribbons running
through the interstices of the straw. The
trimming consists of mass Of black os-
trich pompons, and two or three hat pins
of cut silver set with a finely cut crystal
serve for ornament as well as use and re-
call the crystal buttons and buckle which
embellish the bodice.
Among the small toilette accessories
which are matters of great Importance to
the woman who wishes to appear we'll
dressed. dainty cravats never come amiss
One which we illustrate today is a model
by Henri a la Pensee. and can be easily
copied. The high. soft collar is composed
of finely tucked India muslin and closes at
the back where ii is stiffened by narrow
satin-coyered whaiebone by the means of
tiny hooks and eyes. The crayat is OF the
same soft material. tied into graceful
knot and finishing in two short ends richly
appliqued with a fitted border of Irish
guipure.
A graceful gew-gsw which will do good
service during the heated term is the fan
holder of handsome silver renaissance
work mounted rpon black satin ribbon. The
buckle at the top is finished with a strong
pin which attaches it firmly TO the belt or
bodice. The ribbon is long enough to ad-
init of easy handling OF the fan, which is
fastened to the lower chain. When not
in use, the lower end buckles over on the
upper ornamental hook. This contrivance
is invaluable for the ball gown, in which
case the ribbon may match the costume in
color.
Dainty coiffuTes are Indispensable at all
occasions when the hat is not worn. A
very becoming one is here illustrated. Very
small white ostrich feathers simulate a
bow from which rises a feathery white
aigrette sparkling with tiny dewdrops OF
finely cut cry stalls.
