The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-10-12

stars are pretty ornaments for the
hair, and silver shoes charming details
with thin white frocks. Silver bronze,
in liquid form, carefully applied to a
soiled pair of white kid slippers will
accomplish these. And If no better
moons and stars are forthcoming, they
can be made of thin tin, to which or
binary whiting will give quite a re-
splendent FURNISH.
For those who cannot afford an
evening frock for every occasion, more
conventional things are preferred,
such effects and textiles as may be
worn at any modest function. White
is always more identifying than col
or, and never were gauzy white stuffs
more plentiful than now. In truth ii
is quite an ingenue year for evening
fabrics, for both textiles and trim
mings run TO a girlish simplicity
quite enchanting. For example, here
are three gowns chosen from three dis
tinct shops, all of which were plenti-
fully supplied with other soiree effects
as daintily simple.
A ravishing robe dress of butler yell
low batiste, with tambour embrodieries
the long loose chain stitch our grand
mothers loved-easily leads the van.
The skirt of this is almost clinging,
the embroidery shaping an overskirt
look at the top, and band with drop
ping tendrils below The blouse bod
ice, which is provided with a fetching
bertha of embroidered batiste, is met
by a black velvet girdle with sash
ends at the top of the jupe. The sleeves
fit closely to the elbow, where they
finish with short puff.
Ecrue point d'esprit, yellow entire
deux, and moss-green ribbon velvet.

skirt are made very full over a silk
foundation, the net gathering in
squares between the bands of trim
ming. The baby waist is entirely cover
ed with these, one band outlining the
neck, which is cut in a point at
the front. Two others hold down the
puffs of the elbow sleeves, loops of the
same narrow velvet, which runs
through all the lace. finishing them at
the outside arm.
Two other punches of this tie the
corsage at the front, and three bangle
from long strips of lace, put down the
apron of the skirt, band of the same
completely encircling the jupe crosses
these at the hips. another lower down
stops at the back breadths.
The third rig is the only one of the
lot which expresses any of the new,
strange, metallic blues is the tint of
this. the material mousseline with a
very silky finish. Great diamonds of
yellow lace shape an odd band at the
top of the gathered skirt, whose hip
portion is tucked. The square necked
bodice is tucked all over and applied
with bertha and girdIe effect of the
lace, which, in edging form. hounces
the elbow sleeves.
Pretty as all this is. however. it is
upon neck drapery of velvet in a
more intense blue that the eye is first
fixed. Simple as this arrangement is it
is dashing in the extreme. The velvet
is cut bias and draped plainly about the
square neck, a single long end, headed
and finished by a rosette, dangling
from the right shoulders.
ANY one of these gowns could be con-
led in other airy materials. such az
chiffon and Brussels and blond nets.

minders of our grandmammas, distin-

frocks. whose dead whites contrast
with thin laces in the cheapest yellow.
