The Vogue of Sun Pieafing.

Sun pleating side pleating. box plaat- ing, one and all, are so fashionable that the only wonder is that much variety is possible. Thin or thick light or dark. cotton or silk. it matters not of what the material the fashion continues to oe popular. One reason in the long fife of this fashion is that more and more are thin fabrics of all sorts Used for winter as well as summer, and white lace Of all kinds is as fashionable as ever. There is an effort being made to have at least two or three gowns in the seasons outfit so fashioned that little or no trimming is required, and for this simple style the pleating is immensely popular. Sun pleated chiffon, yelling, light weight cloth. crepe de chine, all pleat well. and while white or black are equally effective. light colors show to .he greatest advan- tage
 There are several different varieties of pleatlng, the sunburst nni .he iris being the two favorite styles, the latter not markedly different from the former, cX- cepting that the pleats are q little closer and rather more irregular. with less full ness at the top
 The smartest-pleated gowns have both waist and skirt pleated and the trimming can consist of only a deep lace collar and a small ruching around the front, or, if so desired there may be bands of lace entre deux in graduated widths from belt to hem, and again on the lower part of the waist.
 Pleated evening gowns in the new weaves of chiffon and crepe are among the novelties of the season, and most ex- quisite shades of color are to be found among them. Pink shading from the plainess shade to deep rose, then from palest blue to a deep violet. mauve to purple, pale yellow to orange, and the shading showing to perfection in the long pleatngs. On some or these gowns the only trimming consists of small log

enge-shaped medallions of velvet match ing the darkest shade or coior and so cleverly inserted as to look as though woven into the material.
 Pleated evening wraps are not, perhaps, to be called new fashion, ano yet some of the newest and smartest wraps this season are pleated. Long half-ftting coats of chiffon or cloth with deep capes oyer the sleeves or with capuchin hood of velvet lined with lace or fur. Circular cloaks with cape or hood and queer, odd shaped Cor shapeless) garments. a com bination of coat and cloak with big sleeves and all in the accordion pleating.
 Pleated tea gowns in chiffon batiste, crepe de chene or any light weight mate rial that can be pleated are diversified with shirrings, and the shirred yoke with pleatings below is a most popular skirt. A pleated tea gown with deep fichu of shirred chiffon trimmed with fringe is delightfully old fashioned and picturesque in effect, while the sofe folds make it most becoming fashion to any woman.
