-The ladies' Field

pink rose in 'front.' and the veil, whichsforns a
frame for the face. is Of embroidered lace. The
scarf Is OF green mousseline de sole, the color
Of the hat, with a silk ruching each edge all
about and with each end gathered into a point;
finished with large silk tassel.
APRON FRONT EFFECT.
Nine Bartet, or her couturier. seems to
prefer the straight, defined apron effect for the
two following gowns carry out the same idea
One is a princess gown, with tunic attachment
of fine gray and black cloth. set up in rather
severe tailor fashion. About the shoulders is
a pelerine Of the stuff, cut to form high collar
in the back and to cross like flchu the
bust the two points fastening with
! gold and black button. The costume would
| consist OF a tunic falling over trailing
/ underskirt, but from the bust, under the
crossed pereline, falls straight, shaped breadth
! fastening with buttons to both the sides OF the
tunic and under skirt. The costume has no
! trimming save stitched straps the bottom
of the tunic and skirt and passementerie but
tons Of black with touch Of gold. There is
guinpe. showing only choker and point be-
tween the sides of the pelerine. of English
embroidery and the sleeves are a true gigot,
rather larger at the shoulders Cperhaps to sup
port the pelerine cape) than is the general
custom now. The gray toque IS more pointed
than the worn in the preceding act and
trimmed both sides with gray and white
wings.
The third gown is a modish afternoon visiting
costume in beurre colored silk voile trimmed
with Irish lace and silk in the same tone The
apron Of the skirt is bordered on each side
with small. round figures of Irish lace and the
rest Of the skirt is twice divided with ruchngs
of the stuff and through the centre Of each
runs a row Of lace figures. The skirt hangs
In freed. side plaits
The bodice consists Of a short bolero draped
over high, fitted corselet belt of silk, and is
trimmed with lace and a little row Of taffeta
bows running from the top of the chozer to
where the bolero closes on the bust There is
the usual choker and guimpe Of lace
The sleeves are exceedingly pretty. They ara
short, ending well above the elbows, and consist
Of little peated cape of the stuff bordered with
lace and slashed TO show shirred underseeve
of the silk.
In a play at the Athenee there are several nice
costumes worn, noticeably one of strawberry
pink pongee, trimmed only by fine pleatings Of
the same stuff. On the skirt are two rows Of the
fine side pleating, scant inch and half deep
and put on in points, with narrow, fat stitched
| band as heading. There is a draped corsage
shaped to make a point in front without the use
| or a belt, with two rows Of pleating about the
deconetage. The bodice is cut out at the top
after the lines Of a mans evening waistcoat and
| the chemisette is of lingerie and Valenciennes.
WHITE TULLE GOWN.
There is also a white tulle evening gown worn
| with trimming Of glass bugles and beads that
is considered modish now. The heavy beads
are used only on the bottom Of the skirt, and the
rest Of the tulle is sprinkled with tiny pailettes
The most remarkable gowns worn at any the
atre now are in Nine. Rejane's production at the
Gymnase, "LAge d'Ainer" and they represent
considerable variety for there are several
"dressy' parts besides the one taken by the star
and the gowns have been furnished by several
couturiers. Nine. Rejane still shows her pref
erence for long loose lines, but one gown has a.
draped bodice, softened, to be sure, by long
lace stole, and two others have a rather high
pointed belt.
The most effective gown is Of blue mousseline
de sole, made with draped Pompadour corsage
and full skirt, trimmed with points of silver
broidery and lace over this is wide stole OF
white silk gauze, embroidered with white and
silver, drawn in the waistline behind and at
tached under the arms with silver cords. The
gown has a square decolletage. but there is a
guimpe of fine null finished with collar Of lace
and embroidery.
Another gown is an odd combination of rose
colored cloth and dotted null dyed the same
color The bottom of the skirt is Of the NULL
which serves simply a foundation for an en-
broidery Of palm leaves done in pink and white
