shade makes it essentially day color
the artificial lights Of evening almost
invariably clash with it and spoil the
effect. A smart French gown in this
shade is developed in m1nstraI clotn
over q foundation of mauve taffeta.
The skirt is draped over the hips in
DELIGHTFULLY."- simple fashion without
wrinkle. Six deep bayadere folds OF
the material are appliqued around the
bottom and each is headed with mar
row black and white silk braid.
The bodice is made over a fitted lin
| ing and has hand-sewn tucks at the
back. Encircling the waist is deep
girdle which stands high at the back,
but slopes in point toward the front.
Across the shoulders and halfway
down the front is a beautiful Irish
lace collar fitting in to form yoke,
this lace also being employed for the
high stock collar and deep cuffs on
the sleeves The puffs of the sleeves
are trimmed with bayadere folds to
match the trimming on the skirt.
| Completing the costume is a large
black beaver hat trimmed with masses
of shaded purple ribbon and black os-
trich tips.
| Society women have taken to new
fad in the form of wells and the most
! novel effects and designs are seen as
! a result. In the matter of expense
they eclipse anything that has yet ap-
/
or interwoE an with medallions of rare
handmade laces. Others cover the
face entirely, falling as low as the
shoulders, being bOrdered with the
most exquisite English thread imagln-
| able. The effect is rich. if bizarre and
the greatest argument in favor of these
| wells is that they are beyond the reach
of ordinary mOrtals on account of their
cost.
! 1t is surprising how many fall and
| winter house gowns are made with
the light and dainty effect of summer
| toilettes. At a glance they suggest
preparations for fashionable watering
resorts, but this thought is dispelled
at second view when amidst the
frills and fripperies seasOnable touch
of fur or other equally distinctive
winter trimming is observed.
Another of the new green's is called
bergamOt, a soft pale shade suggest
ing migonette under certain lights. In
French nun-veiling it is especially
pretty. charming toilette in this
material has a clinging, trailing skirt
tucked from the hem to the waistline
and is intended for street as we'll as
house wear because it is accompanied
BY stunning blouse Of chinchilla
trimmed with pasSamenterie in black
and green. The back of the blouse has
incongruous basque tabs of notified
grey MORE resembling chinchilla and
the waist is confined with a bolt of
white silk rubber embroidered with
olivines and pearl beads, with green
silk.
The fur blouse, however, might be
dispensed with and in its stead dainty
bodice worn. The front might be en-
broidered with roses of crepe and chif-
fon. This trimming is seen on near
/ ly all the very smart gowns this sea-
son. They are equally attractive and
| less expensive when made of taffeta
| or satin. The material might be cut
| out in part between the embroidery
and the spaces filled in with horizontal
| tuckings of white silk mousseline.
There could be a shallow yoke of the
same material made in one piece with
collar faced with tiny bands of fur
or of embroidered silk.
The well-gowned woman finds it
| necessary to give much thought to the
shape and trimmings of her sleeves
| this season. In many instances they
are the distinguishing feature of the
gown. With the simplest dress it is
| no unusual thing to see the most or
nate sleeve A favOrite finish for the
| full puffs that fall below the elbow is
tucks. A pretty effect is shown on
white crepe de chine bodice. Horizon
| tai tucks are laid from the shoulder to
below the elbow. The sleeve gradual
| ly widens from the top and is quite
voluminous where the tucks cease. The
loose material is gathered into a band
at the wrist edged with pink silk and
a tiny spray of pink forget-me- knots.
| Morning wraps developed in long
haired zibeline and other materials
that resemble fur are fashionable. A
| natty design is double breasted with
a box front and tight fitting back.
Heavy lace points are let in at the
bottom and the huge sleeves are
| slashed at the outer seam to open over
panels of lace. The turnover collar is
of heavy lace trimmed with passamen-
terie and passamentarie ornaments are
| arranged down the front.
For evening wear one sees nothing
hardly except white coats. Whether
made of lace, silk, cloth or fur white
or delicate cream tints are always Sc
| lected.
Some very pretty tailored dresses for
misses are exhibited. They are in
/ broadcloth trimmed with MORE, bands
of broad-tail or passamenterie orna-
