Boofs--Smart Leather Goods for ya-
 rious Uses.
 While nothing could be prettier than the thin. soft materials being used this season for gowns of all descriptions, the desirability of such fabrics for cold weather, even where the houses are. warm, is questionable. If anything, many of the newest materials are thin- ner than those worn during the warm days of summer, though perhaps oc- casionally slightly thicker interlinings are used.
 For evening froeks, double width chiffon cloths with a bordered band of chiffon roses in slloft shades, thus sup plying both the gown and it's trimming. are seen in the shops. A white chiffon cloth with border of shaded pink roses and green foliage is dainty and fresh in appearance.
 A smocked frock made by London shop was seen here recently Its beauty was in it's genuine simplicity: but even so, it could scarcely be cop jed. The material was of heavy pongee in a shade of French blue The round skirt, touching the floor evenly, was smocked at the top to the depth of a. short yoke. the shocking forming reg ular points all around. Above med ium-width hem at the bottom, two-inch wide hand-run tucks formed simple finish The yoke of the blouse was formed of the shocking, correspond- ing with that of the skirt. and the sleeves were fulled into deep smocked cuffs. Around the collar and edge of the cuffs were narrow hand -embroid- cred bands of the pongee, the embroid- cry silk used being rather coarse and exactly matching the shade of the gown. The fastenings at the back were tiny buttons covered with the silk, loops being used Instead of but tonholes. Worn with The gown was a narrow hand-embroidered belt match ing the collar and wristband.
 The owner of this gown also brought back with her dinner gown with many French touches. It was cham pagne-colored voile with a tiny silk dot of the same shade and small lace squares scattered throughout, the gown being made over white taffeta silk lining. The full skirt, which was madC with a quite deep founce, was trimmed with two narrow silk puffings of the shade of the gown, placed rather far apart above the ruffle. The quaint bod. ice was made with wide surpllce silk collar effect back and front, with q soft chemisette formed of rows of olc lace inserting whipped between rolled lpuffs of cream batiste, forming sue. cessfon of tiny V's down the front Around the entire collar was marrow puff of silk, finished with row of tn, old lace inserting and sheer batisti embroidery. Around the scollops of thu embroidery was whipped a narrow olt lace edge. Where the front ends Of tn collar met at the bust line was mos Iartistic bow, the loops of which were of silk and charming little handker. chief ends of the old lace and batistt embroidery. The top of the sleeve wa! a huge puff with a corded tuck wher, the upper portion Joined the tightly fitting lower portion. This lowei sleeve was made of the batiste puff. and old lace insertion. While the gowr was not unreasonably expensive, tht embroidery and lace used looked a. though they might have been cen tury old.
 A supple broadcloth in rich shad, lof Havana brown was effectively com bined with brown chiffon velvet. Tn, bodice of the velvet bloused slightly all around, the fullness being forme by few small tucks tending from tn shoulder seam to the bust-line Band of the broadcloth, over which was pattern of silk soutache braid match ing in color, were applied in an Etoi effect, extending unbrokenly around the back. A narrow band of, ermi formed the collar and tiny vest il front, the ends being loose and finfshe, with little ermine tails.
