The picture hats worn with Victoria
| tollettes are deserving of the same
praise. Mittens, the new feature of
these toilettes quite took ones breath
| away when the innovation was heralded
cut now one is safe in progressing a
brilliant future for these dainty lace
mitts. Now that the elbow sleeve is
such an especial feature they fill a much
felt need When the shade of the gown
| is decided on then one may turn her
attention to foot wear Many women
| are having their carriage shoes made
| OF corded silk that matches exactly the
prevailing color of their gowns. Black
panne velvet ties find much favor. too.

Silver is as popular this summer as
| was gold through the winter months.
| 1t shimmers on SO much of the new
| gauze ribbon. Threads of it traverse
most of the gauzy stuffs that the mo-
| dlstes employ. It is woven into silk
stockings and in fact is repeated on all
| the accessories and trinkets dear to
feminine hearts.
| One of the stage favortes whose af-
ternoon drive is an event in the modsh
world has a gorgeous carriage gown
made all of silver gauze. The skirt has
| a long tunic made with a decided dip
| al the front and back. It is ornamented
with medallions of white gouze, painted
delicately in Dresden patterns, and
Joined with narrow black velvet rib
bons. Below this there is broad frill
Of white gauze, ornamented with ruches
| Of the same.
| The corsage is a blouse of the tucked
| white gauze with a high draped silver
! gauze corslet. Above this there rise
| motifs of the hand painted gauze, that
,os ~,
| bons drawn through small strass buck
! les. The close fitting silver gauze
sleeves are finished with short frills
Of white gauze, mounted by straps Of
black velvet ribbon. The velvet ribbon
crosses the high tucked gauze collar,
and is fastened at each crossing with
| tiny strass buckles.
| A great many of the carriage gowns
! are built on long flowing lines. The
most successful among them are sort
of compromise between Princess and
Empire. A white and black model be-
| longing to this category was made Of
| light quality of cream silk popln. It
was trimmed for it's entire length with
lnlets Of narrow black silk guipure, res
cribing undulating lines. The upper part
was ornamented with bands of black
panne velvet ribbon crossed over a yoke
Of gathered white chiffon with panne
polka dots. These We're carried up to
the shoulders, where they We're held
with round strass buckles. The close
| fitting sleeves had puff Of the dotted
| chiffon at the elbow. Above this the in
| let's Of guipure ran in vertical lines, be-
low it they encrcled the cleeve. Inlets
Of guipure trimmed the high straight
collar
Cretonne appliques prove a delightful
| trimming for gauzy summer gowns, an
| Item that surprises great many peo-
| PIE who have never seen the experiment
tried. When it's great success as a
trimming for cloth was established this
winter women, fearful of its being run
In the ground" used it only sparingly.
They have learned now that it only be-
come effective in the hands of a master
workman, so much depends on the ar
rangement of cretonne motifs, the choice
Of colors and the intricate darning over
the surface that is done with tiny
| threads of gold or silver.
A gown of the pa1est gray open mesh
| silk canvas owed much to it's charm to
| its rich cretonne ornamentation. The
| skirt was made with five broat box
plaits, stitched fiat for short distance
over the hips. The spaces between were
trimmed with border of the cretonne
and large pale yellow roses darned with
silver threads A cross stitch of heavy
gray silk floss and silver threads banded
the roses. This cross stitch was repeat
| ed three times at the top of the skirt
| The corsage of the canvas was seal
lcped at the front where it opened over
/ a broad vest of heavy Flemish lace
| Between the lace and canvas there was
| inserted a trimming of silver gauZe laid
| in plaits.
single yellow cretonne rose was APP
pliqued on each scallop and closely
| darned with silver threads
The close fitting sleeves I the canvas
| fared at the bottom, where they were
scaloped and trimmed with applaues
of cretonne. It showed full puff and
narrow cuff of Flemish lace beneath the
| flare.
The parasol design for this gown was
a pale yellow silk gauze affair literally
eolipsed by yellow chiffon rose petas,
| spanged with strass. The white handle
was sheathed in crystal beads. These
dainty petal parasols are bound to APP
| peal to feminine tastes, especially those
| made of orchid petals in all their deli
| cate varying shades of mauve.
| The Victoria toiletteS all attest the
| wonderful popularity of flower trim

parasols, more lavishly on picture hats.

| made rich with blossom borders appli-
