 Bo[eso of Embroidered Chiffon. ! The waist and upper part of tho sieeyef
 have several rows of shirring. while fas.'
 chatting bolero of embroidered chfnor
 finished with a chiffon rufls softens what
 might otherwise be the too severe unes
 The sleeves arc finished with deep cufIs of the same embroidery as on the skirt
 and with chiffon ruffies at both sidea
 This same model has been copied, and lthe design changed somewhat. by having jacket of chiffon, with sleeves also of chif- lion, and 1t must be admitted that In tht lighter material the shirrings seem less clumsy than when in the cloth. even
 though the cloth be of the scftest and m,cs lplfable texture. The princess style seerns
 at variance with the wide gathered shirts
 and shirt waists of the so-called pictur. Iesoue gowns that are so popular, and yet las they are still being made at the leading ldressmakers, 1t would seem to be . per.
 fectly safe model to copy.
 All this embroidery and fine hand worh "opens anew a field for fancy work, for al-
 though it would be quite impossible for af lamateur to turn the exquisite embrolderiea
 seen in many of the gowns there arv lplenty of women who have talent foi ineedlework and who dearly love to use it So now the fashionable fancy work 1T.
 which Milady Is interested is ell on the
 practical order. Embroidery on fine mus
 lin, embroidery on silk. chiffou and clotk
 are all the fashion. and even quite eiah
 crate braiding Is attempted From pres
 ent indications braided cloth gowns arc x be exceedingly smart next winter, and the Icost is to be something rather overwhelm

 Japanese and Persian Embroidery. | Japanese and Persian embroidered bauda are used now on the serge. rnohair. silk ant light weight and other gowns, but mos carefully, never in any great quantity. band around the hem of the skirt Is CT fectiye either On a light or a dark ma Iterial. This season the band of embroidery cn the pieated yelling skirts is especially effective and in great demand.
 On the lapels and waistcoat worn wftk the light weight cloth gowns there is an ether opportunity for hand work. There Il
 a. heavy white silk on the Ottoman or der. embroidered with two or three shadea
 of blue, which is thought very smart fo,
 the narrow vests worn with the shor
 cloth coats. The patterns used are mol elaborate. Conventionalized sprays ot roses. worked in two or three shades o blue, are dainty and unusual.
 The embroidered muslins and batistes x extremely smart at tho moment are a rev. efation as to the possibilities of ernbroid. cry. and the machine as well as the hand
 work Is most exquisftely executed. Tht old tambour muslin gowns of our grand. mothers time and the sprigged- net frocks In which the belles of long ago looked SC attractive are being unearthed from oie
 treasure trunks.
 The embroideriss on many of these gowns are intact, but the fine muslin on
 which they are worked has in many cases
 fallen to pieces. The clever fingers or tne

 the stitches will not show. Often these old
 pieces of needlework are so exquisite aa to be impossible to duplicate.
