Evening Dresses, In
expensive Ma
terialS
Styles in Making: Jewelry
and the Thousand and
One Things That
Make Style

Evening dresses of net made with
gathered skirts and worn over Lib
erty satin are very pretty and if the
net be washable, expense is reduced
considerably as tho material can be
utilized after being soiled and in a
family of girls, perhaps made into
some other garment or accessory.
Sometimes these net skirts are trim.
med with lace laid in medallions or
indeed in any way dictated by taste.
Another quite snowy method of max
ing a net dress is in sun ray kits and
with this style, rows of satin ribbon
can be used effectively, their soft |
glimmer harmonizing with the bril-
liant sun ray killing. After all, how
ever, there is no material in quite
such demand for evening as
Chiffon Velvet,
the name indicating ii part its tex.
ture 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 itself readily to
present ideas in soft drapings on
shirrings Taffeta silks should by no
means be omitted from the list of
favorite materials, the more so as II
is often picked on bargain counters
to much advantage and may be util
lied in some other way when one is
tired of it as a gown. Glace is an,
other and not very expensive mater
ial for evening, and as the name
would indicate, it has shiny surface.
For neighborhood gatherings where
young people usually meet for enjoy
ment rather than show, wool canvas
in white or evening colors is quite
stylish and is suitably trimmed with
yak lace. Wolfe is also TO be com
mended as comparatively inexpensive
and stylish and may be trimmed with
wool lace.
MousseIlne Wolfe
is also quite handsome and a gown
recently worn by a blonde beauty, is
! in pale blue shirred below the hips
and again so as to form a deep
hounce. The shirrings meet inser
tions Of Irish point lace with faggot
Iings in silk. The sleeves reach tc
the elbows and the full waist is al
most concealed by a deep bertha OF
lace to match that on the skirt. Sep
arate waists for evening have not the
prestige accorded the entire dress
but nevertheless they appear as in
} dispensible part of the outfit, and
the fancy for all lace waists, amounts
I almost TO a furor. White over white
Is the caprice of the hour, though
less calculated TO show off the pat
tern of the lace than when worn ovei
colors.
In Jewelry
many new and interesting features
\ arc presented, but dealers In precious
! stones find to their chagrin that theil
best designs are so skillfully initiated
that their trade suffers nos a little
injury. Several stores on Broadway
quite handsome in appearance, are
devoted to imitation goods, and la
dies enter them unblushingly, Colo
net work is very much in demand
for necklaces, and a pointed front Is
finished by pendants of turquoise
pearls and other stones. FilagreC
collars showing a large figure at the
} center are new and hlagree collars
straight around with stones set in
and a single pendant in the middle OF
contrasting stone, are among nov
elites. Loops of small pearls are
also pendant from these collars
Small enamelled leaves tipped by a
minute pearl, are beautifully refined
and these may alternate with pear
shape pendants and leaves Much in
favor for necklaces are small stones
set very near each other, with five
larger stones In the center and a
bracelet to match, is stylish. In
brooches, flags or birds sometimes
single or in pairs in dun finish are
presented and shaded green leaves
tipped by small diamonds are lovely.
One diamond is usually at the cen.
ter. Then there are crescents with
a single bird. tiny flowers, especially
roses. or in quite opposite style, a
gold wishbone in plain gold shows a
single pear or diamond on one side.
