blouse bolero. A Paris correspondent
describes it thus: There is a small
circular yoke, not more than two Or
three inches wide, just surrounding
the throat. This is continued in long
tabs descending to the waist-line in
front, while others descend over the
shoulders half way down the sleeves,
where they terminate in a point. The
front and back Of this waist are very
fun, and mounted in fine gathers up to
the yoke. They are, however. fixed at
this point only. They cease somewhat
above the waistline, where they fall
loosely as sack jacket would do The
tabs in front serve as a frame, and to-
gether with those on the SLEEVES and
the yoke itself, support all the trim
ming. The sleeves are wide and close
ly gathered on the shoulders, some
times gathered at the wrists into
loose band and sometimes left perfectly
open. It is model suitable. to be
Worn as a separate garment or as COM
pleting suit
The same correspondent speaks of
the vogue of ribbon trimmings, which
is as great here as in Paris. Even net
wells are trimmed with little tabs and
designs Of baby ribbon. Hats are
made of quillings of ribbon, usually
different shades. Some of these are
lovely, but others are frightful. Espe-
cially bad are those. of several shades
of rose COLOR They suggest the stick
candy of extreme youth. In Paris
plaid ribbon is. freely used in trimming
dresses, one oe the latest ideas being
to fringe the ribbons deeply and use
them as garnitures for fiounces Of the
dress material. Very wide ribobns are
used as ruffies, alternating with ruffles
Of the dress material. Velvet ribbon
will be used great deal. Ruffles be-
ing the fancy Of the moment, rows Of
quilted velvet ribbon are seen on many
silk skirts. The girdle in these cases
is usually Of velvet.
"A blue cashmere gown trimmed with
these velvet guillings had a gore skirt
made longer than walking skirts are
wont to be. The velvet used was of
matching shade and was three inches
wide. The ribbon. was laid in box
plaids and stitched through the mid
die, making double ruche. There
were four rows Of the ribbon, the spaces
between graduated slightly. The jacket
was sort of Elton, with the fronts
curving away from a lace vest, The
jacket and sleeves, which had lace
undersleeve were trimmed with a
single row os velvet quillings
Velvet gowns and coats will be the
luxuries Of the coming winter. 1t is
difficult to describe the elaborate
beauty of some of these costly gar
ments: They are fashioned and inlet
with rare laces and covered with ern-
broideries and trimmings. Especially
beautiful are the evening coats in light
colors.
Velvet gowns, on the other hand, are
oftener than not plainly made, the
beauty Of the fabric being considered
above trimmings When velvet Is
spoken of hi connection with gowns,
1t is generally svelveteen that is indi-
Gated. SILK velvet brushes too easily
to make 1t desirable dress fabric.
yelveteen, on the contrary, is not
easily injured, and is very easily re-
newed
"a reseda green velyeteen house gown
was beautiful enough to deserve des-
cription. 1t was made with a long, full
skirt, shirred closely around the waist,
and open in the front to show a full
petticoat sof green crepe de chine,
tucked in inch wide tucks to the knee.
The skirt had revers turned back at
the opening and braided in crosswise
lines. This effect was carried out in
the waist, the braided revers becoming
broad collar Under this and extend
ing across the bust to be lost under
the revers were low ruffies of the vel
veteen that fell over the sleeves to the
elbow. The sleeves themselves were
full and were taken into a gauntlet
cuff under which fell lace ruffles. The
collar and vest were made Of soft folds
of the crepe de chine, and the girdle
was velveteen, caught with silver
ana Jade clasp. From the New York
Evening Post.
