skirts for spring wear. A French
model shows box plaits all around the
hips, stitched down to the knee,
where they fall loose.
This idea is carried out very pref
tily in green cloth, with a coat also
box plated, after the manner of the
Norfolk jacket. Bands of green silk
braid ending in loops with fancy gold
buckles trim the front.
There is also the promise of no end
of lace gowns during the coming
spring. Although some special kinds
have the lead, anything in lace which
is fine and cobwebby or heavy and
elegant, is most charmingly used on
all the garments designed for wear
later on.
The filet lace revived this season
will be very popular, with formida-
, BILE rival in the old fashioned Irish
crochet. Needless to say that these
laces are expensive, but there are in
deed clever limitations which do
credit to the originals.
! The idea of velvet bodice with a
skirt of another material is shown in
| gowns for evening wear, where the
skirt is better and prettier, since you
can have skirt and bodice in the same
color, with possibly a darker shade
for the latter. In all cases the skirt
is built upon a foundation of white
taffcta, yelled with mousseline de
chiffon, provided the skirt proper be
of this fabric.
A stylish skirt, first cut circular, is
shirred in yoke form around the hips.

A variation to this trimming, how
ever, and some think a prettier one
is the same velvet application in the
color of the bodice, which is two or
three shades darker than the skirt
This trimming makes the skirt more
serviceable and is original enough to
satisfy the taste of the most particu.

A pretty high necked gown is made
of pink crepe de chine, trimmed at
the head of the f1ounce and at the
hem with white Chantilly lace. The
bodice is tucked in groups, strapped
across with bands of darker pink
panne. Lace outlines the yoke and
encircles the bodice again little
above the belt.
Just how the high collared bodices
are going to come out with lOW-poised
coiffures, which are becoming more
and more fashionable every day is a
The revival of the low head-dress
however, seems to shift the
decoration of the stock from the back
to the front again, leaving a plain
space at the back that will not dis
arrange the couture or cause discom

In front the hair is arranged in full

deaux, particularly charming
French style, the knot is usually at
the nape of the neck, and there are
couple of flowers behind the ears.
Sometimes, instead of flowers, there
are new decorations in enamel and
gold, which take the form of round

the outlay of design for permanent
use, for they are certain to change
before Easter; and Easter puts the
