Entire black lace gowns are be-
coming more and more fashionable all
the time, and many are seen worn with
the elegant coats OF black velvet For
day wear they are made over black
silk lining. and for theatre or any
evening year black Chantilly gowns
with white Innings are more effective,
and are made with fiounce skirts, the
flowers being over chiffon hounces
Rich brocades are much Ia vogue for
evening wear, and the "founced," or
those with colored floral designs on
white ground, are beautiful beyond de-
scription. A brocade gown needs little
decoration. only bit of lace about the
neck and sleeves, and is-at present con-
sidered smarter II made with a gath
cred skirt and a bodice pointed in front
like the Tudor style, the decolletage
being draped with folds OF real lace.
The upper portion OF the arm is left
bare, and beneath this a sleeve OF
gathered lace frills from a strap or
