Some Waist MATERIAL.

To all appearances it looks as though
waist materials will have a greater call
than anything else in the white goods
during the coming season. These, how
ever have a very wide range, and include
everything, from heavy madras stuffs and
mercerized fabrics for outing wear down
to the lightest and filmiest lawns and
other fancy ideas for dressy purposes.
In these latter lace effects viii enjoy
a very large call. particularly in stripes.
A lacy lawn waist is not only pretty, but
extremely dressy. Such will be worn
very largely during the coming season in
both white and ecru. In many cases the
solid tone will he relieved by the intro
duction of a little black into the pattern.
Black is 10 be a very strong factor in
all style matters this season. especially
in combination with white and ecru. The
black and white vogue is now a pretty
old story, but is none the less d fact.
Black and ecru. however, is OF much
more recent origin, and has by no means
reached its height. II was only very
slightly used last summer, but this year
it should assume quite heavy proportions,

New Tailcr-Made Gown

coats have no collars and are very close

fully made and shaped. 1t is designed to
complete a SUIT for shopping and morning
wear. The skirt flares either by the
use Of expanding cores or by having an
attached hounce, this being a retained
style. The vicunas, cheyiots and rough
cloths are smarter in these gowns than
the more elegant smooth cloths which are
still reserved for afternoon and recep-
ton wear Mixed cheyiots in heather

Brown does not appear in as many dyes
but, when il is shown. the deeper sable
shades seem preferred to the handsome
golden tintS. The new French cutaway
coat appears in rather rough-surfaced
textiles. Deep crimson and automobile
reds are used. with a trimming Of small
silver or golden buttons. For the waist
coat, red and black, gold and black, pure
white. or an odd shade of sapphire and
black are all in vogue. The most stylish
