black chantilIy, the white Irish crochet,
or one of the many beautiful patterns OF
the deep ecru square-meshed filet lace;
but of whatsoever kind it may be, it is
generally overworked in some novel fash
ion. Some of the newest designs show
applications of chiffon and silk roses no
larger than a 1O-cent piece, and these
are applied in most gracefully trailing
patterns. Some co;@3 are still adorned
with the plisse chiffon in white or black,
or perhaps a combination of the two; for
Is there any trimming that quite en-
hances the soft loneliness of any face
so much as this longtime and still popu-
lar favorite
And the collar you must wear? What
ever your own sweet will has decided
after long and earnest consultation with
your mirror is most becoming to your
particular style of beauty. For the state
| ly beauty there is the Medici collar, form
| ing such a fine backgrounds throwing in
| to relief as it does the refined, aristocratic
| features. Then there Is the wide standing
| collar, somewhat on the order of rAig-
! lon, which is seen most often on the
| travelling coat. But even on these as
| well as on the dressiest productions Is
| seen the wide, fat-rounded collar, which
| is in reality cape; SO that virtually the
| coat has no collar. This is certainly a
most appropriate style for warm weather
| AS for the sleeve, that is really of only
| two shapes, though what variety OF
| changes are rung upon both of these
/ models; they are the du Barry and the
flowing sleeve. The former has the flare
/ or puff effect spring out at the elbow,
| and Is then confined at the wrist by a
| handsomely decorated cuff while the
| flowing sleeve gradually widens from the
| elbow down, and the width at the hand
! affords charming glimpse Of delicate
! satin lining. to which is sometimes adj
| ded a filmy ruf1ie of lace, thus forming
| a beautiful setting for tapering fingers
/ and rose-tinted nails. One form of the
| du Barry sleeve has a long slit in the I'M
der arm seam below the elbow through
| which is supposed to peep the full puff
| of dress sleeve. In the cuff we see the
/ continental and the Louis XIV. styles
most prominently brought forward. These
are mostly adorned with lace or embroid-
| cry, though on the palmer styles they are
| both often only trimmed with rows of
machine stitching, style of trimming
| that seems destined to live forever.
| In. white coats some very handsome
| cnes are shown made of etamine or veil
| ing over satin or taffeta Innings. They
| are generally trimmed with white chit
| fon or the dainty cream lace. The
| fuchsia trimming is a novelty in the way
| of coat trimmings. 1t is composed of silk
cords for the dangling stems, while the
petals are of the same material as the
| body of the coat The Monte Carlo is a
| pretty box coat about twenty-seven
inches long, and is shown in variety of
materials from white broadcloth or eta
mine to the linen colored pongees. OF
course, the decorations of these coats
are varied to suit the materials and the
! purposes for which they are to be worn.
| The smartest of the white broadcloths
| has the back quite profusely trimmed
| with a series of white satin strappings,
which effect Is also repeated Mt either
