for this service. While many are shaped
in large r~osettes at the back. others tie in

as one chooses. All materials, except very
heavy cloths, are worn with sashes. Trans

by finish of a handsome sash.

Just now there are more stylish dresses
IA white than in any color, and more in
black and white than in any other combina-
ton. Now and then a dash of color, usu-
ally some shade Of green. accomplishes
what so often is done with black. Then
green by itself is the most stylish Of coIors.
Some very handsome black and white
gowns were sketched for the accompanying
pictures, one appearing at the right in
the first group. The fabric of this dress
was black and white lowered foulard, and
the trimmings were white taffeta folds out
lined with narrow black silk braid, and a
white silk yoke stitched in black, outlined
with batiste embroidery and finished with
a cream lace rufre. First in the next group
was a black and white type-a black and
white lace over white silk. AT its right is
a white chiffon yelling trimmed with ba-
tiste embroidery and lace. an inset bit of
emerald velvet appearing at the waist line,

changed a black and white scheme in the
case of the right-hand gown here, which
was white dimisy dotted with bright red
and trimmed with black chantilly. No
device OF the many that the fashions now
permit is more effective than this employ
ment OF black lace over a material that is
all or nearly all white. The attractive
ness Of the combination is quite as great
as its stylishness. which cannot be said Of
most new fashions.
Gowns OF green materials are manv. but
The stylish shades Of this color are delicate
and trimmings soften il still further. Very
elaborate gowns are found in green crepe
de chine. foulard and pongee, always with
a dash of black in the trimming, and often
with much of white. A sample gown ap-
