under the narrow box-plaits on either
side of the apron.
The corsage is blouse of the can
vas with long yoke and plastron of
Irish point over black taffeta. 1t Is
fashioned to give ad ecollete jacket
effect and the edges where it borders
on the embroidery are finished with
narrow bias folds of stitched black

there is a band of the embroidery
showing the black taffeta beneath. The

Costume designers say that we shall
see fewer plated skirts as the season
+ advances, but as to what sort of skirt
we are to have in their stead they are
reticent. Meanwhile they are bring
| ing out their newest skirts with the
ornamentation arranged so as to coun-
terfeit tunic. Round tunics, square
tunics. scalloped ones. long and short
ones are all suggested in the arrange
ment of the trimming. But the real
genuine draped over-skirt is still con-
spicuous by it's absence. No decrease
in the flare or length of skirts is no.

One of the new evening gowns of
white gauze has tne skirt draped in an
easy. graceful way that suggests over
skirts. There are in reality two skirts
of gauze made up over drop-skirt of
white taffeta. The lower one is an am
pie affair ACCORDION plated and trim
med with ruches of white gauze flecked
with jet The upper skirt is finished
with rich border of black velvet rib
bon ruching and black spangles. This
is draped up trhe at the left side
where it is held with black gauze rib
bon heavily spangled
The decolete corsage is finished at
the neck with a sort of berthe effect of
white panne velvet studded with jet
clous. This is continued over the arms
to give the short sleeve effect and was
held up by half dozen narrow black
velvet ribbon shoulder straps linked
with jet ornaments. Below this the
gauze was gathered full and caught
down into narrow black gauze rib
bon belt.
Such pretty sweeping boa is includ-
ed in this evening toilette. 1t is made OF
large white chiffon poppy blossoms
with black chenille centers. They are
crowded close enough together to give
the effect of full round ruche.
The modistes are offering so many
all white hats. so many all black hats,
and so many black and white affairs
that the woman who is confined to
demi- deuil this summer will still feel
that she is confronted with an "em-
barrassment of choice" An imposing
black hat designed for dresSy carriage
toilettes is made of horsehair braid.
The crown is low and the brim round
and rather unusually broad, with a
droopiness that gives a sort of fluted
brm effect. At the front and a little
to the left there is tackled a sweeping
white ostrich plume that encircles the
crown. This is the sole trimming. A
white chip hat modelled on the same
lines has sweeping black plume. The
dainty orchid hats that present sur
face of the variegated mauve blossoms
are Just the most bewitching things
imaginable when worn with sheer
white gowns

and orgaudies that are included in half

are also trimmed with white lace en-
