NEW GOWNS WE'LL BE Ella BORATE)

For dressy afternoon wear, there Is
nothing that shows up so we'll as some
soft effect in such material as chiffon.
Beautiful tucked creations of black over
white are very, popular and show new
and striking form. In many of these, the
skirt is left plain, with the exception Of
the lower portion, which is very elaborate
and this matches the waist.
One costume on this order is made en-
tirely of black tucked chiffon over white
The waist Is cut in boero form with the
vest all metal bespangled. Floral motifs
Of lace are applied on, while silk embroid-
cred effects in similar form are worked
up on the bolero. The sleeves are tight
for a short distance and then bulge out in
almost a balloon effect The black over
portion has suggestion OF the klkomo
and is edged with black Chantilly. The
under white portion comes into tight
cuff in material to match the dress. The
lower portion Of the skirt is made OF net
work of velvet ribbon with embroidered
floral applications and is terminated with
rows upon rows of narrow edgnig. hat
for dressye wear in one of the most pop
ular forms is the ostrich trimmed style.
Ostrich is certainly seen very much this
season and especially on the dressier hats.
Against a back ground of velvet, it is
particularly effective.
A popular form shows a black shep
herdess shape adorned on the fiat crown
with motifs of white lace. Two ostrich
plumes, one in black and one in white
start from the underbrim on the left side
and sweep backwards in a. most effective
manner. This fashion Of having the
plumes on the back of the hat is one Of
the most popular to-day. We see very
few long plumes used to adorn the entire
brm.
For house wear miladi has many diff
ferent styles of costumes to choose from
that it is almost impossible for her to
make choice. 1t is probable, however,
that in every Woman's wardrobe will be
found at least one plain skirt that she
wears with innumerable fancy waists.
Fancy waists! What train of thought
this brings up in the mind of the aver
age woman. There are creations in fan
mel, beautiful affairs in silk, lovely ideas
in velvet, all gotten up in a great variety
of forms. The flannel waists are plainest,
and for practical purposes are not to be
excelled. The velvets and silk affairs adj
NIT of greater elaboration. There is
much more trimming being put on these
waists than ever before.
A. style of waist that has come very
much to the fore during the last season
or so is that Of printed velevt in a Persian
design. These Persian designs are al
most beyond description. They are very
complex affairs and are shown in a riot
of coloringS. At first glance they look
barbaric and unharmonious, but as the
eye becomes more accustomed to them
they grow in favor. One lovely waist of
Persian velvet has light colored scheme,
that is, the general effect of it is light,
although red and other dark tones are
used in the pattern, The waist is made
after the usual models, that is, with a
blouse. It has fancy collar and neck
piece ornamented effectively and showing
attached to the lower portion a soft lib
erty scarf. The sleeves are rather full,
this fullness being graduated from the
shoulder right down to the wrist where
it terminates in a tight cuff, adorned with
band of embroidery.
