The voiumfnous skirts and sleeves ana hodices demand the sheer cloths. and some of the new colorinss in cloths and crepes are simply fascinating. The difficulty that the smart dresser who has but a small purse will encounter will be to make Iup her mind which of those exquisite col- < ors to choose.
 Tho French have just brought out line Iof. eoiorings in the chiffon cloths those soft things that are just like suede, anu which they name 10 treiie incarnas, or the red clover. All of the red-cIover eoiorings. from the very faintest to the richest and deepest. are represented. aud exquisitely pautifui they are
 The new gray tints, from the softest pearl that looks almost like white down to a thick moieskin ccioring, are very much in the van. There is one very fash- lonable color that Is somewhat whimsic- ally known as elephants breath. and which Is really and truly far nearer tho color of an elephants hide than what one might imagine his breath to be-
 Both the clover and the elephant coI- orings are trimmed with embroideries in the duh, faded tones: and dyed lace is often used to supplement- the other trim ninss. The exact tint of the cloth must be reproduced. or the thing Is failure.
 And. by the way. dyed iaces are renew ing their vogue of the apFingtirae. When first introduced they were looked upon as merely passing freak oe fashion; but they have really made quite q firm niche for themselves among tho better modes. IThs little separate blousas and bodices iin the dyed Iaoss are qults often an ac- compartment to the dressier of the tailor- mado gowns; and when tha thFee-piece sult--which. incidentally. sesaina ali of its fashionable foIIowlne-is ordered blouse of the dyed lace is moro ofesn than nos arranged for.
 There are some very fascinating fsa- lures in dresa which ws are eniy 5usat beginning to copy from tho Tranch, and one of them ia the uee og those informal Iearments which the clever Parisienne dis@, tlnEuishes as robes intimaAs Family iifs. ! in France is the extreme informallty. and for the late breakfast and for the family. k NAnUet uNu4NaG--an A1ANAUAtAQA1N448 8S W8A1 for that matter-induixss In those gracesI fuI and artistic garments that suggsses without entirely carrying out. the nssiiges idea.
 To wear with the very dressy silk petti. coats (the Parisienne perhaps spends more time and thought and money upon her lingerie than upon tho rest of hsa wardrobe) there are the most delightful and artistic coats or jackets or whatever one chooses to call them. The oneseamo crepe de Chine. as tho double widths have come to be called, Is e mighty fayorits for these. for the necessary shiFrins. tuck ing and accordion plating can better be planned for and with less waste of mate- rial in the wide than in the narrow fabric.
 The yoke is really the foundation of those charming accessories to one's ward- robe; and this is covered up and con- eealed by a thousand and one clever de- | vices in the trimming line. Their com struetion Is so simple that even the veri- est amateur in the dressmaking line can faahion them for herself From the con eealed yoke the full folds of the little jacket aopend. and here Is it shirred. tucked or accordion piaIted. the length heinz regulated to suit the wearer. In aeeoEIanca with the more formal fash ions there is quite fancy for tho halr and ,nres.quarter lengths. and very grace suI. it must be confessed. they look. Yards upOn yards of lace are used Tor ryfainx and sdsing; and the sleeves are just as elaborate as well may be. and of half or three-quarter length to match the coat,
 Very often a sash of velvet ribbon os l a tint that will harmonlze or contrast w,th the crepe dc Chine is threaded through the plating and tied h Front In careless grace It must hang loosely around the figure, just on the curve of the hip rather than the waistline; and full tassels In Jet beads or something or that order give weight to the sash enda and hold the sash in place.
