TO form a succession Of ovals. The blouse
waist showed a deep yoke of lace edged
with white silk balls forming
fringe and huge sleeves of the embroid-
cred silk held by cuffs of lace. The
accompanying picture hat was Of lace with
blue tulle and tumbling mass of shaded
blue plumes and tips. A gown In the
much-used violet was of a peculiar shade
and serves to illustrate stin further the
use of silk for entire gowns. The material
itself unusually handsome, while soft,
raised figures of self color gave the i'm
preston of brocade in it's tiny pin
dots Of white. 1t was worn by a matron
whose bevy of young folk quite filled her
box, and was as becoming as IL was hand
some. The skirt was untrimmed but laid
in rather close plaits that were stitched
fat to founce depth, then fell loose to
give generous fullness aad fare. The waist
showed almost no blouse and was a mass
of the stitched plaits. At the front was
narrow vest of very full white chiffon and
over the shoulders an elaborate garniture
Of the exquisite lace I'm deep cream. The
sleeves were plated and stitched above
the elbows, loose below over puffs OF chiffon
on which were frills of the cream lace The
small toque was of cream lace and white
chiffon with purple orchid as color.
RICH AND ELABORATE.
/ must not forget the white gowns and
the black gowns. the superb wraps and
ermine furs. yet space is drawing to an
end. One most brilliant black gown, was
Of tucked net and sequins forming alter
nate points and a blouse waist with yoke
OF Chantilly lace over white. gown OF
white cloth was made en- princesse. cut to
form panels at the lower edge and In the
waist portion. Between the panels OF the
skirt was to be seen a fiounc Of cream lace.

waist. while the yoke and undersleeves OF
lace seemed cut in one and formed full
puffs at the wrists below the haring sleeves
OF cloth that. with each panel in skirt and
waist, were embroidered heavily in white
silk. The hat was in picture style. OF lace
edged with ermine and heavily trimmed
with plumes. A gown OF a lighter sort was
of cream chiffon with cream Lderre and
white Irish point lace. The skirt showed a
very narrow panel OF the Lierre at the
front. a tucked upper portion Of chiffon at
sides and back with narrow bands of velvet
separating them. The blouse included vest
and full portion Of chiffon and lace above
a girdle Of soft silk. The elbow sleeves
were huge puffs Of the Lerre lace over the
Irish and the accompanying hat was OF

wraps have been seen. One notable cloak
was Of white cloth overlaid with Irish cro-
Chef into the edge OF which silk fringe was

Cloaks Of mole and OF mink have been
many. White and champagne cloth, how
ever with trimming OF fur outnumbered
every other sort The champagne shades

front. Outlining the yoke was a plated
bertha to match, headed by a band en-
riched by French knots In chenille. The
sleeves were three-quarter length, plated
and left full and wide below the elbows 10
fall over big puffs OF lace. The hat was all
cream lace. with tips shaded from white
to champagne color. and the wrap a long
coat OF cloth. with collar and cuffs OF soft
brown fur. Net gowns embroidered with
seed pearls were also TO be seen and rich
