Gay Holiday Attire.
New York Post.

New York Post.
One of the features of the holiday season
will be the high-necked lace fancy waist
for dinners and high teas. These are usual
ly of applique lace. mounted on white Brus-
sells net over fitted lining of white silk.
There are also other waists of Venise lace
or formed of insertion-like bands on Brus-
sells net. that are equally effective The
latter notably popular and are liked
for bridesmaids gowns, as we'll as for
evening dresses. The front may be formed
of rather wide applique lace fiounces, meet
ing in the scalloped edges, a second edge of
scallops coming further back on the shout
ders, TO fall in long points below a belt of
black velvet and chameleon-spangled net.
The bodice faStenS at the back, and is
formed az each side Of two tapping lace
hOunce-edgeS drawn down in fan-shape TO
the waist. Velvet trimmings artistical-
~ introduced on these waiStS-and these
may be of any color preferred, though black
is first choice-and also on the skirt worn
with IT. Violet velvet bodice-bands. with
velvet skirt to match, are among the most
elegant gowns prepared for the holiday
season.
Brussels nets of the finest meshes are
again in favor for evening dresses in white
or black, like point d'esprit, and they
threaten to rival those of the long-popular
chiffon or mouSseine brilliante Ii is far
more durable than either of these textiles
for more varied Occasions-for simple en-
tertainments as we'll for the more elab-
crate functions. 1t can be made up over
pretty inexpensive silks or satins of the
same color, and trimmed with narrow
gathered satin ribbon of a gay shade or
else the lining may be of a contrasting
hue, and the garniture of shirred ruches or
a deep circular skirt fOunce bordered with
soft appliques of black chenille. A charm
ing net gown, sent to Ohio by a New York
modiste, has the square neck-opening COW
cred with tulle plaitings, with the net tucks
framing it held by a belt of fitted Nile
green satin ribbon The bodice is made
a lining of black satin which hooks
at the back The elbow sleeves are tucked
in groups and finished with double friIIs
of accOrdiOn-pleated net and tulle Cherry
red ribbons and those of amethyst, rose
pink or ciel blue are equally as effective
as green ribons. The skirt of the gown
just described has the net arranged over a
very closely gored satin foundation which
has q demi-train. White Brussels net
gowns are more elaborate than those in
stanced above, in that the skirts are much
more trimmed with graduated ruches
founces, or tucks. and lace appliques.

A casket with its gifts concealed
