Antionette yoke laid In hemstitched
tucks. The cores are feather-stitched
together to show the paler blue lining
| beneath.
The bodice falls loosely over the belt
at the front, but the blouse effect is OBJ
tanned by a peculiar draping OF the
crepe de chine that is decidedly cir
cular Above the bust line there is in
serted in the bodice a yoke of tucked
mOusseline appiqued with lace medal
lions and finished with a deep border
of embroidery showing old rose. deli
cate, deep blue and touch of brown in
the color scheme.
1t is considered very smart to own
lace skirt which consists of series
of flounces. The lace is very deep, so
that three frills are sufficient for the
length of a woman whose height is just
above the average.
Cafe au lait combined with crimson
satin forms an effective gown worn by
one Of the actresses in a successful
Broadway production. The foundation
of the skirt is in white silk and this is
banded with narrow strips of crimson
satin set close enough together to bring
out the designs of the lace and at the
same time not introduce too much OF
the red into the effect.
The bodice, which is really a triumph
In the art of dressmaling, has a bolero
outlined by widths Of satin ribbon EN-
broidered in pink and crimson rose
buds. The vest is Of very deep cream
colored chiffon and lace. At the should

suggestion of an epaulette made of
crimson satin and faced with pink. This
combination Of coors Is quite the
smartest of the season, superceding
even the much-affected orange tints.
At the waist line the bodice Is finish
ed with Grecian squares, also embroid-
cred along the edge with scarlet and
pink, and at the back the squares
lengthen into two graduated streamers
which reach to the hem of the skirt.
Completing this costume is a hat Of
soft white effect, trimmed simply with
two jet black birds and touches of
white satin.
A chic idea in hats was observed in
a smart shop a few days ago. 1t was
in wedding trousseau in which grey
was the predominating color. The felt
was a soft, fleecy sllvery grey wreathed
with chrysanthemums which were
shaded from light to the darkest tones,
while the leaves were delicately sill
vered.
Indeed, chrysanthemums are among
the most used flowers in the expensive
millinery designs Even mourning hats
are trimmed with them, the petals be-
ing of dull black silk. Plaitings of pink
ed-out silk and ruches form another
feature on the fashionable hat Of to-
day and are so decorative that little
other decoration is needed.
The bOlero and Elton jacket, as well
as Russian blouse, finds expression in
dainty white cloth designs. Silk or
satin braid stitched in any simple de-
sign is used as trimming. Sometimes
there may be added few bands of fur,
if so these touches show themselves in
chinchilla, squirrel or silver fox.
Evening coats composed of alternate
bands of chinchula and the heaviest OF
Russian lace over white silk are the
quintessence Of smartness, but where
one can boast only one fur garment for
every occasion it is impossible to cut
up the material in this way. For the
opera and evening wear, however moth
ing is so smart and becoming.
