Gossip on Subject Of Pretty Gowns

too especially in dresses for young women
and misses. The extension of this yoke's
line may come in deep ruffle all around,
in small extensions out on 10 the shoulders,
as III the winter, or in some slight elabOTa-
ton of the trimming that outlines the yoke.
These yoke extensions, while numerous
enough do not seem of so conspicuous size
as they had iii winter gowns. And some
times the finish at the very round OF the
shoulder breaks in upon the oneness of line
Just the least bit, but such models are not
many, Some of the most striking slopes
come in evening gowns for spring and sum-
mer: These will make their wearers look
as II the throat almost the a peX of
triangle, but there really are no sharp
angles, the effect is not unpleasant.
Shoulders barred below the round are leveled
to the one desired line by simple trick.
This consists of several bands of ribbon
passing over the shoulder each two sepa-
rated by an open space through which the
flesh shows. While these ribbons do not
bind the shoulder in the least, they have the
effect of seeming 10 hold ii in fatty. Then
from the lower band the sleeve may start,
or lace ruffie may hang from it.
Had the winters many prophecies of ap
preaching severity in tailoring come true,
the earliest settled warm weather would
have found stylish women vieing with one
another in the plainness of their suits. But
they will not be doing anything of the sort.
While the suits being prepared are free
from the eXaggerations of the fancy
tailor-made of two or three years ago, there

is resort to trimming. not infrequently TO
snowy ornamentation. 1t seems likely that
the tailor gown is not to count as dressy
as ii did in winter but nevertheless many
OF the gowns are as worthy of fine company
as ever Examples of the new tailoring
put here by the artist are evidence of this,
and further confederation is to be secured
for the looking. The first of these dresses
was a navy blue sicilian, with buttons and
self-trimming of bands and bows for en-
bellishment From left to right the three
gowns of the next picture were gray cloth.

buttons; green cloth, fancy black braid
and black velvet, and brown wolfe trimmed

as the chief garniture, but this is not so
significant of plainneSS il might be, for
any shopper who has looked about her of

Just at this time it is difficult to tell
what is to be the favorite dress goods
of all those that manufacturers have pro-
stock. Such indication has been given
seemed hardly to be relied upon. as it placed
the prime favorite goods that hes been

velopments corroborate this first disclosure,
and it looks more than ever If wolfe was
TO be the goods. 1t might almost be the
only available material without causing
trouble, so many and so diverse are its
weaves. Some are close woven and firm,
but more are open and filmy. 1t is an easy
guess that the latter will be the better
liked. In another sense, too, there are all
sorts of voiles, for weaveS looking much
alike will be found held at widely different
