est skirts. Just how far it will
wedge itself into popular favor re-
mains to be seen, but the fact that
it is revival gives encouragement
to the modistes who are supporting
the attempt to bring back the pie
turesque skirt decoration.
A very smart costumE i'll brick
colored cloth shows the polonaise eff
feet on the skirt. This is outlined
with black embroidery skillfully in
terwoven with dyed red lace and the
effect is stunning.
The jacket is almost tight fitting,
having scarcely any perceptible full
ness over the deep girdle at the
front. Ii has a low yoke, round III
shape, of white cloth stitched with
black and silver threads. Finishing
the woke is a band of black silk en-
broidery which is continued around
the figure below the bustline in Elton
effect. The sleeves are formed into
the shoulder strips by means OF
small stitched plaits; above and be-
low the elbows they pulled and gath
cred into deep cuff.
Completing the costume is red
hat of pressed beaver trimmed only
with a shaded red lobster curl.
Despite the great demand for high
" finished cloths cf smooth surface,
the French shops are showing an I'M
usual variety of novelty suitings in
which embroidered dots or small de-
signs are a feature. Something ex-
tremely chic is a new camel's HAIR
cloth, very soft with touch of In
dia cachmir, in gun metal shade with
Roman dots embroidered over it. This
fabric is used for handsome street
gown. There is a rather long close
fitting coat finished around the bot
tom with a band of plated satin
headed with an applique Of silk lace,
but very heavy.
The silk skirt has a wide box plat
at the front which is continued
| around the figure in a succession OF
TIMER plaits. The sleeves of the coat
are novel. Bagging from the shoulder
in mutton-leg design they grow mar
| mower at the wrist where they are
finished with cuff of satin and
lace, opening on the inside, where
| the sleeve is buttoned above the ell
bow.
| Embroidered dots are also fea-
ture of cloths of canvass weave. The
embroidery is raised and the favor
ite colors for it are brown, bright
green and blue. Mohair and worsteo
mixtures in novelty weave are In
dark neutral tints with CLINT OF
bright color. Among the clingins
fabrics there are softgivognes IL
mixtures, or with small plaid
} grounds strewn with tiny dots Of
white Or color.
Gowns For Indoor Wear.
Nothing is more in demand for in
door gowns just now than silk alba
tross. This is an improvement o
the familiar cloth, always adaptabl
TO the seasons styles. and comes
! such a handsome range of new co
ors that it seems like an entirely ne
fabric.
For the woman who is fond Of La,
inserts a design in vieux rose will

silk dot of the same shade and sma
square of lace are set in all over Il
skirt and bodice. The latter, viii,
is quite full, is made with a dee

Quaint is the bodice, but vel
