Conspicuous among the latest tai
lor made designs are entire cos
tunes of white corduroy velvet.
material admirably suited to the
long, close fitting coats. But these
long coats are taking on variations
which their designers little dreamed
would be possible at the beginning
Of the season. From the fancy vests
with which they wore first trimmed,
they have merged into corsage ar
rangement which is as perplexing as
it is fascinating. Anything from
simple vest of stitched cloth to
blouse covered with lace rutfles is
possible in the matter of such deco
rations.
Under some of these coats are
worn charming blouses made from
Persian scarfs. They require little
trimming and one scarf is sufficient
for a blouse.
1t is long way from fancy bod
ice to the negligee, but the great diff
ference will give an idea of the vari-
ETY. of ways in which the favoriet yari
tie Persian scarfs are used The
lowered liberty desi gu like the ones
worn over the head in the evening,
make lovely short negligees. These
are fashioned somewhat after the
style of the handkerchief negligees
worn for some time, and may be tied
and draped most picturesquely.
Black gowns are made up with
more than the usual touch Of white.
A charming dinner design shown in
one Of the ateliers of the rue de la
Paix has a nun plated skirt of plait
silk crepe Decline, except for a
front breadth of cream white NOUS
cline. This panel is finished with
four tucked ruffles and the skirt
proper has Il tiounce Of plated black
chiffon.
The bodice blouses over deep
girdle Of black pane velvet laid in
folds which are piped with white
crepe. The effect is delightfully."-
soft and refined. The decolletage is
draped with the white stuff also and
the sleeves are shirred and bound
with black panne velvet.
Velvet as Trimming.
Never before in its history has vel
vet been in such demand as
trimming. 1t not only is self-deco-
rative, but is used In the ornamental
ton of all kinds of other fabrics.

A handsome waist for theatre OF
very dressy wear is made Of black
chiffon velvet. The design is rather
simple, yet what the effusive woman
would call really sweet. There is a
chemisette-shaped yoke Of pure
white lace falling over the opening
in frills combined with the snowiest
chiffon. Outlining the yoke is band
of white satin stitched with Persian
braid in pale blue, rose, bold and
black The sleeves extend only to
the elbows and have a cuff trim
med with the white satin and embroi
derry. They are finished with ruffles
of the snowy white lace and chiffon.
One sees more and more Of the red
velvet hats. Those made with the
broad sunken crown trimmed simply
with slender bow Of red velvet rib
bon are very smart. Underneath the
brim there cluster either red and
white ostrich tips or bunch 70 sha-
ded red flowers.
