Two continents have given of their best to
produce the display in the Salon de Robes at
Arnold Constable & Co.'s. 19th-st. and Broad
way, which will be opened to the public to-day.
Here are to be found the models of far-famed
Partisan artists, together with the firms own
creations and ali that is left for the American
woman to do is to choose from this embarrass-
ment of riches the things she desires for her
adornment.
This is by no means an easy task a
glance at a few of the models may show. Broad
cloth is much used for handsome gowns, and
as Il comes from the hands Of a Partisan dress
maker It possesses elegance that silk and
velvet cannot surpass One Of these broad
cloth gowns is n visiting costume in a beautiful
plum shade 1t Is heavily trimmed with chenille
embroidery and has curiously cut coat. short
on the hips. but having long pleated skirt
at the back and correspondingly long tabs in
front.
Another broadcloth costume designed for lunch
cons or day wedding is in white deliberately
trimmed with panne velvet. soutache braid Irish
crochet lace and handsome buttons. The coat
is short square Elton. with the fulness falling
to the waistline-a great feature Of the season
and at the top of the sleeves are falls of Irish
lace There is little vest of fur and the pleat-
ed skirt has sectional panels Of Irish lace,
striped with the velvet and further adorned
with braid and buttons. A lovely olive green
broadcloth has velvet petticoat with an over
skirt Of cloth so cut to look like the skirt of
the coat.
There are also some handsome broadcloth
coats. and lace is also much used for evening
wraps. An elaborate white lace opera mantle is
adorned with pompadour rnedallions in colors,
each medallion holding a fall Of lace. The
sleeves are very large and elaborate, and the
front turns back to show shirrings and puf1ings
of silk intermingled with ''vaf' lace
Everything is very elaborate. combining many
kinds of decoration. dinner dress OF black
point desprit. for instance, has incrustatlons OF
white lace silver spangled and surmounted by
lovers knots of velvet ribbon The girdle is OK
Oriental embroidery on silver.
A curious feature seen on a pale green gown
in the new silk known as "radium" is a long
pleated tablier of point de Venise coming from
the girdle at the back. The skirt has insertions
and panels of the same lace.
In the domestic gowns the eye welcomes
little more simplicity In one of them the old
fashioned Spanish lace is revived. its amber
shade harmonizing with silk in the same tone.
A striking Combination is seen in white net
reception gown with ruchings and edgingS or
Dresden ribbon, and there are some lovely vel
vet and eolienne gowns.
Next door TO the gowns is to be found the
French underwear-lovely garments that are
dreams in lawn and lace. There are several
new features in these dainty creations this year,
one being the way the incrustations are applied.
In most cases they are put in with a crochet
hook instead of needle, or else they are en-
broidered in. Incrustations also thrown in
all over the garment instead of just around the
edges. All sorts Of decorations are combined IN
these garments, as in those intended for OUTSIDE
wear, and yet the entire effect is usually one OF
simplicity.
