Splendid Nenns Dress Gowns Somehn$ for Street Wear

oughly up.to.date woman who doesn't make
a point Of keeping at least one white cloth
gown on hand. Black may be modish and
colors are certainly beautiful, as well as be-
coming but there Is an air about the all
white dress which nothing else can hope to
equal.
Modistes love to design a white model and
If you notice carefully you will find that in
variably there is Just suggestion of color
introduced somewhere about the bodice-if
not In the narrow waistband then In the
handsomely jeweled buckle or equally beau

faintest note OF color in the collar scarcely
noticeable, yet lending the right degree of
contrast to secure becoming effect--for 1t
Is well understood that all white looks well
on very few indeed.
white cloth, filet lace and fur convey TO
my mind the very essence Of elegance, and In
the gown here portrayed we have combi-
nation Of the three which Is decidedly chic.
Imagine the real beauty Of such gown as
this-the long gracefully rounded train, with
its protecting border Of fur stamping 1t at
once as a gown for no ordinary occasion.
The manner In which the flet lace is ap.
piled is a feature Of the garment, and one
which represents not only artistic coneep-
ton, but clever fingers. The effect Is such
that one might almost believe the lace woven
In with the cloth. Across the front of the
skirt is a wide band Of the incrustation,
which is met at the sides by broadening
