A last seasons evening dress may be
again utilized, SO little change is appar.
ent, and while to some it is satisfac-
tion, to the fashionable dressmaker il
brings dismay, as she is expected under
all circumstances to provide novelties.
The same old flaring skirt, the same old
blouse or loose front, sometimes open
and sometimes closed-several narrow
or one wide ruffle preferably the
former) edged with ''baby ribbon
narrow black velvet or lace. Quite a
choice exists in inexpensive dress
fabrics. black or white nets dotted be-
ing shown at so cts. yard, and these
costumes are as attractive on a summer
evening, as at winter entertainments.
POINT D'EsPRIT NET
is always charming, but higher in price;
then comes cashmere, Landsdowne,
albatross (Which cleans perfectly or
cotton and silk crepe, with silk
embroidered dots, at so cts. per yard.
One style of cotton crepe at Is cents
per yard comes in twelve different
shades, which is guarantee that it is
in demand. Prettily made up and
trimmed with narrow black velvet
ribbon and gilt buttons, no one would
suppose that it was costume of the
cheapest material in the market. For
more expensive dress pink plisse
louisine is beautiful-covered with tiny
indentatiOns, a reminder of crepon but
much prettier. A black dotted net
dress, trimmed with black velvet ribbon,
is very peculiar; the first row Of ribbon
being about twelve inches deep, and
about two and half inches apart,
except at the back, where it extends to
the end of the train; each row ending
in loop.
THE SECOND ROW
is of narrower velvet, the bands
commencing between the lower ones,
and third row of half-inch-wide velvet
put on in similar manner reaches to
the waist, which is also in lengthwise
rows of velvet, relieved by cerise-color-
ed velvet bows ON the elbow sleeves,
the low round neck and belt at front
and back. Another pretty way of MAX
ing a white net is to have two-inch-
wide tucks in each ruffie, and run
in two rows of narrow colored
velvet ribbon in two shades. At regular
spaces on the outside of the tucks, full
loopings of narrow velvet tied at the
center should be placed, about eighteen
inches apart, with waist and sleeves to
match. A bunch of daisies or roses, or
peoples, at the left side of low neck
is pretty addition.
IN FASHIONABLE COIFFURES
the waved Pompadour (at the 'front.'
holds undisputed sway, but the back
hair is now arranged in soft putfs, curls
or the figure s. Flowers, particularly
large roses, knots of satin ribbon, imi-
tation or real shell combs and orna-
ments of butterflies are all popular,
after all, however, the great point is to
suit the couture to the style of face.
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
ella Lee" If you wish to give
your friend thoroughly enjoyable
Christmas present, send her bottle or
box of Murray & Lanman's Florida
water. 1t is always welcome-always
delightful and refreshing, and will keep
the giver in sweet and enduring remem-
braDce.
"Katy Steinhardt." You cannot
go astray in wearing a wide sash. If
your evening dress is of a figured ma
terial, a plain satin sash is the proper
thing. The newest sashes are in large
flowers on white or ivory surface, or
plaids on an indistinet ground-some-
what on the chine order. All broad
sashes are finished with knotted fringe.
"Carrie Bronson Undersleeves
are still fashionable and often much
exaggerated, and a cuff at the elbow
Qeaving the arm bare) is novelty in
independent waists, suitable only for
young girls. A pink crepe de Chine
waist with full tucked yoke, outlined
by white silk passementerie Gin a leaf
pattern) and sleeves to match should be
suitable for white or black dotted net,
or taffeta silk skirt.
