The light summer gowns never look
more attractive than under conditions
like these. and there is q great chance

The round bodice with a slightly
dropping front is the prevailing style
for both young aud middle aged fig
ures that are slender. but there is a
greater variety. il possible. in the
evening bodice than any other
The pointed waist of our grand
mothers time is one OF the variations,
but it is modelled on the new straight
corset. with quite different lines. The
Empire gown. with broad Empire
band of embroidered gold cloth, or
gold lace studded with jewels beneath
the arms. is another very evident feat
ure in evening dress. A band of the
gold extends around the arms. forming
a sort of sleeve. which leaves the
shoulders bare. Narrow cross bands
extend over the shoulders and neck to
keep the gown in place, and dainty
frill of lace edges the sleeve band
around the arm With the pointed
bodice. the gathered skirt with a tab
lier front of lace or crepe de chine
makes the gown the best of style One
handsome evening gown was COM
posed of wide tucked fiounce and
lace applique decoration. The mate
rial was chiffon made over an under
skirt of the same fabric on taffeta
foundation.
An old time mode was carried out
in the MORE brocade. with a panne
velvet tablier front. Panne also FORM
ed the ehimisette vest with a plating
of chiffon above and the fichu of ecru
lace. Another costume was of satin
trimmed with lace and chiffon frills,
artificial flowers finishing the neck.
Boas of every description. whether
of chiffon or feathers. will be much
worn this season. In Paris many dis
tinguished toilets show no ruffles
round the neck. Inevitably we follow
their lead. so it is almost certain that
after the next few months the long
favored and much Wanted boa will be
| consigned to oblivion For this rea-
son. however. it will still enjoy a GER
tain vogue-it is always becoming. and
that in itself is a wonderful recon-
mendation.
Among the particular kinds that will
be popular are the pointed mousseline,
ruffed-edged. with pleated strands OF
coarse chenille. which latter will also
confine the streamers in a species OF
trellised network reaching half way
down. The fiower-petaled ruffles will
also be much worn, and very pretty
fashion which will be generally adopt
. ed is the wearing on the left side
where the boa joins the long strand. oil
a bunch of beautifully made artificial
flowers. These must not, however. be
of the comraon order. The French
who excel in this branch of manufac
ture. have achieved such a success that
at first sight it is difficult to tell wheth
er the flowers are real or not.
