cheted rings are used to decorate
some of the new flannel or silk shirt
waists, straps of the material being
drawn through the rings as II the
latter were buckles. and the decora-
ton thus formed being used down
the front of the waist, on the collar
and wristbands, apparently effecting
the closing of these portions.
The broad shoulder effect is much
affected by stylish women, and to
emphasize this appearance some of
the newest shirt waists have deep
backward-turning tucks or folds ar
ranged at the shoulder seams near
the armholes, but tapering toward the
waistline.
Cut work in cloth is more elabor.
ate than ever before, some toilettes
having the entire bodice and skirt of
firm teXtured cloth cut in simple, very
open patterns, and made over a plain
cloth or satin foundation Of a con.
trasting color. An exquisite white
broadcloth, for instance, is cut in
long openings gradually widening to-
wards the foot, giving plaid effect,
and is made over dull old rose cloth.
The openings in this instance are out
lined with white silk cord.
Louis XIV. cravats are novelties in
neck decorations, and are straight
tabs made of real lace, embroidery,
knife-plaited chiffon or liberty silk
attached to stocks, or merely drawn
through the collar Of the coat, one
end being shorter and lying over the
other, ring of mock jewels holding
the cravat in the center.
Cashmere border trimmings for
cloth costumes are handsome and
quite new. They are made in imita-
ton of the borders of camel's hair
shawls. and are of sufficient width
to be employed for vests. founces,
ETC., if more than simple bands be
desired.
Grenadine over black or colored
silk or satin is much used this win

plique of silk or velvet being en-
ployed usually for decoration, and a
huge corsage rosette or sash of vel
vet or chiffon of some brilliant color
relieving the costume from sombre.

The long coat, either fitted or in
box effect, was surely intended by its
original designers as utility gar
ment for driving, stormy weather
wear and the like. but femininity has
become so enraptured with its ap-
pearance that it is now made Of the
most delicate shades of broadcloth,
some so light as to be actually white,
and handsome fur, cut work and ap-
plique are employed for its adorrf-
ment. It is lined with white satin,
or with satin the same color as the
outer material, and it's revers-when
it has this feature-are faced with

severe appearing garment it has
bloomed into regal wrap, in some
cases more suitable for drawing
room than for the dusty streets OF The
city.
The very latest dressing sacque--o
as it is such very dainty garment
when completed, perhaps it should
be called a matinee-is made of Brus-
sells net, black, white or ecru, over tat
feta, and trimmed with wide lace
beading through which is run mar
row velvet ribbon. Ruffles of the
net with the hem run with ribbon to
give border effect are also used
for decoration, and wide ribbons tie
the garment at the throat and also
at the waistline. unless the sacque
be preferred loose at the latter point.
Separate waists are as popular as
ever, but are not made in such vio-
lent contrasts in color to the skirt
materials as formerly, the same color

black or white, over satin lining are
much used for theater wear, and ap-

Three narrow circular ruffles are
used to finish the lower part of some
of the new skirts, and are made either
