l benefit, such as velvet and silk on cloth, or the combination reversed. But it Is perhaps upon the corsage that the most astonishing effects are achieved by self-trimmings. Used in conjunction with lace for lace forms part of all dressy bodices-the mere manipulation of the dress material of- ten results in bewildering waist. Around the slight plastron of white, showing back and front in a yoke of the most discreet description, will be seen shoulder straps and shirring of the dress texture
 Some of the daintiest little jackets are also made merely by manipulating the dress stuff oddly If the fabric Is thin enough it may form shirred boleros of effects which simulate them. One of these jackets decks a dress in black liberty the deep kilted fiounces of whose skirt full out in a narrow ruche at the bottom.
 Made into tiny bows and rosettes, the value of silk or velvet comes out in the very decorative quality of these ornaments against a lace yoke and under-sleeves Many snowy lace vest Is spotted down the front with stin little taffetas bows, a bit of the brown. blue or red of the gown also outlining the stock and shaping a smart cravat. Another frock will have the high corset girdle close under a ladder of the same stifr little bows, which require the merest fragment of bias, In form they are simply two square loops extending from a fiat knot, and they are always more effec- tive when put on in prim rows. The prevailing rosettes likewise require the least bit of material. for If one is too big 1t lacks the modish stamp.
 Some of the bodice rosettes which are used to accentuate the figure upon a lace yoke or undersleeves, are as small as a 10-cent piece. Those more sparingly employed will be bigger and over the delicate foundation silk In large rosette may be a loose out side of painted gauge A glittering diamond button holds this artificial butterfly to the garment, and the girl who sports it seems one of the blest.
 Highly effective accessories seen with some of the new gowns are jaunty waistcoats and tuckback cuffs in some smartly contrasting material. The waistcoats are invariably double breasted, and so widely do they diff fer from the gown texture that the motive suggests a splendid use for any short, rich remnant.
 The snuff-like brown which pre- 'N't" ApA 4tdNlltI IS much seen on black. blue. green. etc, though the rude contrast Is now atoned for by embroideries in other colors Gilt buttons ornament the simpler vests but those of lowered silk or velvet often close with the most beautiful gemmed buttons. The matching cuff piece is put above the little ruches and quillings which now deck the bot tom of all dress sleeves, so that the white edge below has quite the ap pcarance, of under-sleeves. -.
 Two gowns displaying jaunty vest jackets likewise show the new full skirts and correct under sleeves. An afternoon costume or hotel toilette is of silver gray with jacket trim mngs of cloth in pale pastel yellow. This forms the flat vandyked collar. rever, pockets and cuffs. scalloped edging of red brown velvet giving q splendid touch. Brown velvet also finishes the soutache motives. The waistcoat of white rosebud velvet, and the litt'e puff under-slecves are of tulle lace. which Is a late and ex- quisite novelty in the dress world.
