establish its vogue, while entire lace gowns
were to be seen by the score. A most gor-
geous costume was OF the chiffon velvet In
pink. and was trimmed with Venetian lace
dyed to match and appliques of chiffon
roses.
GOWNS OF ONE COLOR.
Gowns all of one color appear TO have
special vogue. They were to be noted as
far more numerous than any other sort.
White Is first favorite. it has been for
some time. but soft tans and biscuit shades
are much affected for chiffon. in which ma
terial they ere always peculiarly lovely.
One Of the most fascinating gowns that
recall was Of chiffon, in pastel tan, and
was trimmed with lace of the same shade
and further enhanced by just touch of
panne. The skirt showed a graduated
plisse nounce edged by three narrow ruches
and headed by wide applique of lace
Above that was group of tucks. a frill
ruche-edged, more lace and a second group
Of tucks. The blouse closed at the back, as
do so many of the season. The shallow
yoke and the upper portions of the elbow
sleeves were all fine tucks, so arranged as
to make continuous line. Below them
was lace. similarly arranged below it tucks,
then a plisse frill which fell over the full
underblouse. AT the waist was a narrow
belt of panne, and the elbow sleeves termi-
mated in full frills. With the gown was
worn hat of chiffon and panne, with
plumes held by scintillating clasps. A most
effective black and white costume was of
tucked black net, enriched by long fernlike
appliques Of black guipure, the pattern out
xxyli re
silk, yelled with chiffon AT the lower edge
or the skirt was a rather narrow-shaped
fiounce of velvet, overlaid here and there
by single peoples of the lace over white
and connected with the tucked net by ir-
regular applique formed by connecting pop
pies of varying size. The bodice was SIM
pie in cut. but open at the front, the edges
finished with lace applique. and revealed a
yoke and front of white repousse lace en-
riched by seed pearls. At the waist was a
deep girdle Of velvet. With the gown was
worn a picture hat of black and white.
most superb costume of white cloth was
trimmed with mink and enriched by en-
broidery in white soutache braid. The
skirt was plain and snug, with a deep
fiounce that was entirely covered with the
embroidery and headed by a band of fur.
The blouse was made with narrow revers

cloth and velvet. This means fewer trans
parent necks, yet the latter are not entire
ly ousted. Among new trimmings are hand
some and expensive jets, very light in
weight and color. Gray jets that come In

such as fancy stitching and embroidering.
New passementeries made of mousseline
bands beautifully embroidered or appiqued
with chiffon. flowers and foliage are es-
pecially suitable for dressy costumes. New
Persian and Oriental trimmings are very
vivid in coloring and striking in workman
ship. Gold embroidery, gold cord and gold
applique flowers are stunning and freely
used Chenille fringes and passementeries
in white. black and colors are very stylish
and look well on light cloth and lace Co.'S
tunes.
New printed mousselines. chiffons and
crepe de chimes are very pretty. The col
orings are rather shadowy and make effec-
tive trimmings for white gowns. They are
often used in band and medallion effect.
Sometimes they put as the foundation
of transparent, solid colored material.
Often they are the outside of silk or satin
of striking color. Over white they very
pretty. Pinks in various shades and yell
lows and burnt oranges are the striking
colorings. Old blues are pretty and look
well when made over dead white
Hair ornaments are very pretty these
days. The rose made of dainty colored
satin ribbon with yellow center and backed
with artificial leaves is dainty. Chrysan-
themums of baby gros-grain ribbon, with
leaves, are another offering. AT distance
one scarcely could tell them from the real
flower. Butterfly bows Of black velvet or
grenadine ribbon are still worn, and pretty
ones of light-colored satin ribbons are
used for evening or dress wear. For even
ing hair and corsage ornaments match the
color or trimming of the gown.

embroidered to match the f1ounce. The
sleeves were big and held by cuffs of fur,
and at the neck was small turnover col
lar of mink. The accompanying hat was of
crochet and mink, the muff of green velvet
combined with the fur.
THEY WEAR WHITE, TOO.
A most charming costume of quite an
other sort was of white crepe de chine, with
heavy Irish lace. The skirt was shirred at
the belt, the shirrings held at their lower
edge by applique of lace. and was finished
with a deep shirred fiounce headed by a
double applique and finished at the lower
edge with deep hem and then tucks. The
blouse bodice closed at the back and was
simply full, but showed a disappointed
yoke and girdle. both of lace. The sleeves
were huge, as are all of the smarter sort,
and were tucked at the shoulders, then fell
into full puffs that were caught, below the
elbows, into cuffs of lace.
Wraps were almost too superb and gor-
geous for description. Many more were
white than .olored, but so great was the
variety it is impossible to do more than
select a few. Perhaps the handsomest of
all was loose, in Kimona style, of white
cloth and covered with a raised embroidery
of white grapes over trellis formed by
stitched bands of the cloth. The grapes
were of panne and raised, but the leaves
worked into the cloth. Revers were of er-
mine and the lining was white satin. A
second one of white cloth included three
shoulder capes, with collar and cuffs of
ermine. while the revers were of white
satin embroidered with gold and silver.

show insets of white French crochet and
white plumes held by jeweled cabochons.

cream crochet lace, and was trimmed with
black plumes and cream lace. while under
the brim was arranged soft white velvet
roses. Much gray, much green, much tan
were seen, but nothing appears to dominate
black and white. The costume to which
have just referred showed a blouse coat,
and was deliberately trimmed with Irish
crochet. With it was worn stole of er-
mine. and a lovely big muff was carried in
the hands. Touches of black, too, were
seen upon many light-colored gowns. A
most fascinating tan-colored broadcloth

yoke of heavy ecru linen lace. from which
fell a fringe of linen thread that reached
