of the lowered mousseline. This foot dec
Grafton is made with a shirred puff through
the center, producing two equally wide dou-
BILE frills, one standing up and the other
reversed
Instead of plain white mousseline panel
In the front. here the delicate fabric is laid
in wide across tucks bordered with tiny
quilting Of white, which meets at the belt.
Powered and white mousseline are pref
tily combined In the bodice with the fash
ionable pointed front and the shirring,
reminiscent of the eighteenth century. The
principal part is made of the pompadour
material which is shrred down each side
of the front, meeting below the waist in
long point Between the shirrings there Is
a vest of white gathered up into small
puffs and ornamented with Jeweied but
ton at the bust The neck is cut out slight
ly and trimmed with a fiat, rounded collar
of Mechlin lace. More puffs and gathers
are used effectively on the sleeves. They
begin at the armhole in a narrow pun OF
pompadour mousseline, then comes ruche
of the same heading a pun OF white
mousseiine, then another ruche OF wnlte,
second puff of the white, and on the DOT
tom q wide founce of rare Mechlln lace
set on with tiny quilting like that used
on the skirt front.
Only n picturesque hat could be worn
with such costume, and in this instance
large rolling shape made of moussellne ana
lace was selected. 1t was white and where
the brim turned away from the let slde
cluster of pompadour flowers was placed
close to the hair. More OF them Appeared
on the top IN combination with an exquisite
and fluffy ostrich pompoh with very iuiA
white aigrette.
Lace is by all odds the fashionable trim
ming at the moment II ngures ptoitl-
nently on every style of gown Even the
severe cloth variety issues from the hands
of the tailor decorated in some inconspicu-
Gus way with suitable lace trimming. Re-
cention and visiting costumes are a mass OK
filmy ruffies or delicate lace apPilcaOohs.
1t goes without saying that evening gowns
have lace utilized in some fashion on cor
sac and skirt For the former there Is
sudden vogue being displayed for menus
Often the long, three-cornered pieces OF
lace are draped on the boulce IN sucu
wav as to only suggest a menu, Wihie az
other times the fchu Is nothing more man
lust what 1t has always pretended TO be,
simple and becoming frame for pretty
shoulders. - -
the snartest and loveliest gown creatlonS
in which the fchu mode is striking Iea-
tnre The entire costume is made of white
linen worked all over with EngIsh open
embroidery. The skirt forms three nounces
from belt TO hem, the middle one being mar
rowest while the upper one IS CONSIDERABLY
deeper than either Of the others. ,o
The embroidery is fashioned into simple,
slightly full blouse finished with an en-
broidery girdle. A fiat fichu of the same
dainty needlework falls over the shoulders
without fullness and terminates at the Top
of the girdle where 1t is held In place py
three gilt buckles one concealing the ends
of the fichu and the other two being SID
over the fichu short distance above the
point. -,
Between the two sides of the f1chu there
is a bit of heavier English embroidery GO
ing straight down the fronts ana curVinS
around the neck, where II Is nnisheo WIN
a high embroidery stock ana very uinh
cravat.
