Evening Dresses; inexpensive Materials
Styles in Making; Jewelry.
Evening dresses of net made with
gathered skirts and worn over Liberty
satin, are cry pretty and if the net be
washable, expense is reduced consider
ably as the material can be utilized after
being soiled and in family of girls, per-
haps made into some other garment or
accessory. Sometimes these net skirts
are trimmed with lace laid in medallions
or indeed in any way dictated by taste.
Another quite snowy method of making
net dress, is in sun ray kits and with
this style, rows of satin ribbon can be
used effectively, their soft glimmer har-
monizing with the brilliant sun ray kilt
ings. After all, however, there is no
material in quite such demand for even
ing as
Chiffon Velvet

since with the familiar surface of velvet,
the heaviness often found Objectionable
in velvet of the usual quality, is done
away with and the new variety lends it.
self readily to present ideas in soft drap-
ings or shirrings. Taffeta silk should by |
no means be omitted from the list of fay-
orite materials, the more SO, as it is often |
picked up on bargain counters to much |
advantage and may be utilized in some
other way, when one is tired of it as a
gown. Glance is another and not very
expensive material for evening, and as
the name would indicate, it hiss shiny
surface. For neighborhood gatherings
where young people usually meet for en-
ioyment rather than show, wool canvas
in white or evening colors, is quite sty-
ish and is suitably trimmed with yak
ace. Wolfe is also to be commended as
comparatively inexpensive and stylish
md may be trimmed with wool lace.

s also quite handsome and gown re-
,ently worn by blonde beauty, is in
pale blue shirred below the hips and
gain SO as to form deep founce. The
hirrings meet insertions of Irish point
ace with faggotings in silk. The sleeves
each to the elbows and the full waist is
.lmost concealed by deep bertha OF
ace to match that on the skirt. Separ-
tie waists for evening have not the pres
ige accorded the entire dress, but never
heless they appear an indispensable
art OF the outfit, and the fancy for all
ace waists, amounts almost to Juror. S
White over white is the caprice of the !
our, though less calculated to show off '
he pattern OF the lace, than when worn
yer colors. r

lgly. Gold net work is very much in 1
emand for necklaces, and pointed C

noises, pearls and other stones. Fila t.
rec collars showing large figure at the b
entire are new and ilagree collars straight
round with stones set in and single I
endant in the middle of a contrasting e
one, are among novelties. Loops of c
nall pearls are also pendant from these
ollars. Small enameled leaves tipped
y minute pearl, are beautifully refined a
nd these may alternate with pear shape Il
endants and leaves. Much in favor for n
ecklaces, are small stones set very near j

n brooches, flags or birds sometimes sim Ii

nd shaded green leaves tipped by small
iamonds are lovely. One diamond is
sually at the centre. Then there are
'escents with single bird, tiny flowers Il
