that is, coming a few inches below the
waist.
In the back it shows a bodicelike form
OF ~self-material edged with a handsome
braid of black with o white center.
This same braid adorns the cuffs, while
little fan-shaped applications Of braid
pendants form the garniture of the body
va st.
The collar is of astrakhan with a bit of
Kirk at the throat.
The new and striking feature of this
costume is the sleeve.
This is a double effect, the under portion
being of the ordinary sleeve variety.
n4e upper portion opens at the shoulder
and is cut away in a pretty sweep.
1t terminates half way between the Shout
der and the elbow.
This form was first introduced in bath
ing suits. strange as it may seem. but so
attractive was it that 1t was not permitted
10 de with the summer
1t is being revised in a very elaborate
style in costumes for this winter.
TIE skirt is made absolutely plain. 1t is
cut rather long and has a decided train in
;he back.
Though not the most servioeable thing for
walking, it is up-to-date and beautiful In
every respect.
THIS SKIRT HAS
= DECIDED TRAIN.
The idea of adorning velvet with banls of
cloth in sth color is a very pretty and
fashionable one.
These bands may cover the velvet almost
entirely, or may simply adorn it at inter-
walls.

What could be imagined more beautiful
or striking than a frock of beautiful black
lace heavily bedecked with motifs of Irish
crochet?
Still another style of velvet gown shows
Il much more ornate treatment, the whole
frock being piped or tucked
When it is desired to give a touch that is
absolutely striking. the under side of this
piping will be of satin in some light tone
pink, for instance, or maybe pale blue.
Then the jacket will be faced with satin
beautifully embroidered in silk in several
coiorS.
One gorgeous creation on this order is q
tight-itting affair of black velvet.
Tight over the hips and dow to the
knees, the skirt then flares out and shows
quite a train at the back, and is also rather
full in the front.
1t is piped all over and these pipings are
lined with pink satin in a delicate shade.
The waist, TOO, Is piped in a similar man
ner and shows a kind Of eff
feet.
OPENS OVER VEST OF
SOFT MATERIAL
1t opens in front over a vest OF soft ma
terial, and is edged and has a collar OF en-
broidered satin in a vinelike effect.
This edging has on its edge, SO to speak.
a narrow braid in black and white.
The sleeve Is full to below the elbow,
where a gauntlet cuff Of satin Is placed
above a tight-dtting portion Of corded vel
vet.
Beautiful and artistic as these pile fabric
are, they are not the only thing
for miladi's prediction, by. any means.
There is a vast array OF cloth ideas to
choose from. including a ~trsmendous va
riety Of rough and smooth goods.
There are the cheviots, the camers-hair.
the ladies' cloths. the fancy weaves Of in
Vulnerable varieties, and more styles than
could be imagined.
Rough goods are very much favored and
when they are trimmed and gar
injured in an acceptable manner.
Weaves on the etamine order, too. are do
cidedly popular.
A lisht-colored etamine in g heavy weave
trimmed makes as striking q
as could be desired for dressy
wear.
This trimming may take the form Of
braid, of velvet applications, Of lace and OF
a number of other modes.
A lovely etamine frock Is IN q striking
somewhat between @ cream and q |
tan. |
Tho skirt is stitched at all the seams and |
at the bottom is adorned with velvet APP |
upon each one of which Is super- |
posed another velvet application.

braid.

suggestion Of a train at the back. |

belt with the pointed. long eject.

feet of lace.
The waist Is trimmed with fancy braid
worked I'D into scroll-like designs on the

Novel effects in cut. In trimming ana
in combinations Of material are ever
In order.
One Of these is a combination Of camefs-
hair and ~.affeta. the tafeta applied On In
the form of bands.
The skirt is given rather a bell effect by
this mode Of trimming, despite a semitrain
In the back.

full kimono sleeve Of lace trimmed With
this selfsame taffeta-
The collar and broad bertha are also OF
lace. |
