NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The day of
the inexpensive gown has arrived. BY
this is not meant that one can get a
pretty frock for mere song, but now
that the first rush of the season is over
it is possible to gain several really
artistic effects at cost within the
reach of the average woman.
| The limitations of expensive fabrics
are improving Manufacturers have
prof1ted by early mistakes and the ma
terials now purchaseable at medium
prices no longer have the really coun-
terfeit appearance.
For instance a very pretty albatross
of nuns yelling can be had for thirty
nine cents yard in all of the fashion
able colorings of the season. Built
over an imitation silk lining, though
a genuine silk ruff1e on the petticoat
is a necessity-such a dress should
not cost a great deal.
A dainty shade of eminence blue is
developed upon charmingly simple
lines. The skirt is plated affair fit
ting closely over the hips, with yoke
effect and a straight panel down the
front Toward the bottom it slopes
outward where it falls long and full
over the feet, dipping slightly at the
neck Instead Of the usual bodice, the
waists shows an Elton effect, coming to
the waistline and having deep, plain
yoke of the albatross laid in folds and
piped with a darker shade of satin.
The folds continue down the waist at
the back and extend into two little tails
below the belt line. The front is box
plated and comes below the waist. 1t
opens over full fall of heavy lace, not
necessarily expensive. giving a blouse
effect over girdle of blue satin.
The sleeves are tight below the ell
bow becoming very full and loose at
the wrist where they are caught into
deep turn over cuffs
Many of the stores are offering rem
nants Of satin in the fashionable shades
for half dollar, that sold for twice
as much at the beginning of the season
and the same is true of silks. Such
bargains relegate to the year the old
Joke about women shoppers who never
buy, for such reductions are too great
a temptation to let go buy and many
who may not need the materials at
present buy them and put them away
for another season.
There are also many pretty trim
mings in the shops varying from TWEEN
ty-five cents yard upward. Fagoting,
which is always pretty decoration
comes at ten cents a yard in all col
ors. This, with French knots and
few medallions of inexpensive lace
makes a pretty garniture for simple
imitation wolfe frock. The skirt is a
fifteen gored affair made with yoke
over the hips. This yoke is formed
of transverse tucks alternated with
bands of fagoting arranged in the same
way The scalloped effect gained by
this arrangement is finished by an
other band of fagoting. which joins the
skirt with the yoke. Fagoting, alter
mated with French knots trims the
seams and a three-inch hem finishes
the bottom of the skirt. A pretty sub
stitute for French knots is tiny little
buttons covered with the dress ma
terial or satin in a darger shade
The bodice carries QUIT he same idea
of the skirt, but has a yoke of lace
over satin. The French knots are
struggled through the pattern of the
lace to add to the daintiness of the
effect. Finishing the yoke is a founce
of the wolfe, unpretentiously finished
with tiny hem headed with row of
the fagoting
The sleeves show a pretty effect.
{ From the shoulders to the elbows the
= tops are tucked in the transverse fash
: ion of the hip-yoke Below this there
lis graduated frill falling over close
] fitting cuff of satin ard lace that
reaches to the elbow.
A girdle of satin pointed at the front
and extending several inches up the
back confines the waist
The entire taffeta gowns have been
revived with a furore hardly expected
at this season. Brown is used to carry
Z OFT a very dainty design. The blouse
has a deep yoke shocked half way
down; from this the silk falls into q
high pointed girdle, which encircles
|. the waist. 1t is buttoned up the back
and has a shocked high stock around
the neck. The sleeves have wide row
of shocking just between theelbow and
top. from whence they fall very full
caught into cuffs also of shocking.
, In fact the shocking is the only trim
ming on the dress and affords de
Hghtful change from lace and embroid
: cry. The skirt has a deep hip yoke o
" 1t and below the yoke falls very full al
. the way round. with three deep tuck
II running vertically around 1t at the bot
tom.
Corresponding with the dress is biI
brown hat turned up trifie at one sid
D with a long plums shading from dee

hair.
