and putting, shirring and plating, TO
say nothing of the vast amount Of
exquisite handwork that appears on
both shirt and bodice, and anything
like an accurate description of their
manifold charms seems an impossi-
biNty
: These gowns are essentially sum
mer ones, and the season Of 1901
seems 30 be given over entirely TO
ethereal fabrics, with lace and chiffon
perhaps playing the most important
part of all.
There is perfect craze at the pres

strapped over white chiffon, and the
Possibilities of this artistic combine
ton ore indeed great. While on the
face of it I am bound to confess it
sounds extravagant, such a gown, if
properly fashioned, will be an ideal
one for evening wear throughout the
entire winter season.
The rage for spotted materials has
not abated In the least, and it is safe
to predict IT'S continued popular
ity for the remainder of the summer.
The fabric of this description most
sought after at present is OF soft,
silky texture, showing cream
ground dotted all over with medium
sized black spots, and, while not at
all pretty, It is pronounced exceed
ingly smart-lool1ing. To my mind it
is too dazzling for general wear, but
as it has the air Of novelty, besides
being decidedly Frenchy in appear
ance, 1t is likely to remain a favorite
for some time at least.
Fashionable dressmakers are still
fashioning their handsomest summer
gowns of crepe dc chine and foulards
OF every description, trimmed with
any quantity of lace and ribbon vel
vet. Many women complain bitterly
of the price of crepe de chine, but it
is realiya goodinvestment, for no fab
rio cleans more beautifully. and when
the powers of the cleaner have been
entirely exhausted the dyer's art can
