AN IDEAL HOUSE ROBE.

toned to just clear the ground, and the
prettiest are killed up to about four
inches of the waist line, where they
are put into a shaped yoke. Other de-
sirable models are heavily strapped,
while others again are prettig
trimmed with fancy silken braid of
q corresponding color.
There seems to be very little differ
ence between the evening bodice and
the evening blouse of the hour, simply
because the best dressmakers no
longer bone the evening bodice, but
allow it to bag in much the same man
ner as do the smart-looking blouses.
"a both bodices and blouses the
III ench modiste has utterly discarded
the transparent lace yoke in favor of
the high lace collar and dainty chiffon
jabot.
To some of to-day's best creations in
outer garments no description could
do justice. AS for fur garments one is
tempted to spend a small fortune on
them. For those of us who cannot
do this, however, some compensation
is offered in the new gray squirrel
boas which are now obtainable at
rather small cost and yet are very
smart indeed, when worn with discre-
tion. My advice to wamen with &
small income is to pick up a pretty
thing of this description, if they can,
always, of course, wearing it with the
greatest of care. 1t is well to remem-
Der that the woman with plenty of
7loney, combined with exquisite taste,
can always look well dressed, but it
is when the allowance is small and
many calls made upon it that the real
difficulty arises.
1t seems to me at this season of the
year one sees the best fashions in the
way of lounging robes and teagowns,
and one maryels at the wonderful crea-
tions in smart-looking teajackets and
dainty little coffee coats constantly
putting in an appearance. Perhaps it
most delightful of garments appeals
to the majority of womankind more at
this particular time of the year that
the fashion makers are led to put
forth their best efforts in this direc-
ton during the winter months.
In the new comfortable looking
lounging robes one sees much compen-
sation for the ills of life, always pro-
yided one is not too i'll to take note of
such things. In the interesting mat
ter of material of which these gar
ments are fashioned there is abso'

lutely no limit to them. Thr prettiest,
however, according to my notion, are
made of silk and wool delain, with a
most luxurious lining of wadded silk.
All are made with loose flowing sleeves.
Some are prettily trimmed with silk
cord and fancy buttons, while not a
few others are given a decidedly
dressy appearance by means of full
iabot which is allowed to fall from the
throat to the hem of the skirt.
When one wanders into the realm
of the teagown the temptation to
spend money is almost irresistible.
Of course, the material par excellence
for this ideally lovely garment is
crepe de chine, although during the
week l have seen some charming
models made of soft silk, also of all
wool cashmere. The prettiest are
made in the empire" or the some-
what newer princess shape. This lat
