practical fancies in trimming. shirt
waist of absinthe green delaine boasts
a deep puritan collar of saffron colored
linen. This. which is much in the
shape of a pointed cape, fastens at the
front with a ladder of saffron bone but
tons and stitched linen straps The
stock of the waist itself is heavily en-
broidered with wool in the same shade,
and double cuffs of the yellow linen
distinguish the sleeves
Soft woods are likewise favored by
the French makers for these fancy
waists, and besides delaine, albatross
and the old-time cashmere are some of
the materials used. Narrow ribbon

Brilliant color is also a point with
some of the imported bodices. linen
short-waists with fancy details being
displayed in rich Venetian reds and
deep enamel blues, greens and yellows.
A waist in Venetian red in a rare
faded tone shows d novel disposition of
stitched bands. One of these runs
down the front of the garment, and
the shoulder line is emphasized with
two more. which end at the elbow of
the sleeves. A new kink is an ar

of other trimming.
Inc three bodices in question, how

Designed for dinner and theater
wear, two are in velour chiffons. This

embroideries will further enhance up
on some low cut evening waist, and
the coiffure knot in this case may also
be a silver rose with green satin
leaves and loops of white velvet rib

Upon a pale blue crepe waist en-
broideries in a deep yellow are used,

shoulder band and holding down the
