White IS, as always, the smartest of all
colors for the debutante to wear, and often
a girl viii have all her gowns made in
white, the different materials looking so
different each from the other that there
is great variety. Then all the delicate

bright shades, like rose pink or bright
blue satin.

young girl TO choose, but an absolutely

top of the window casing and supported

where the lower box is not desired Is to
arrange square boxes at both sides OF the
window, making them fast and supporting
them with brackets. Strings are made fast
from the front of the box to the edge of
the shelf, and light vines can be arranged
partly to screen the upper part of the WIN

OF the wardrobe that require attention and
must needs have time and thought, not
TO mention money spent upon them. But
1t is the evening gowns that apparently re-
celve the most attention Of all and are SO
carefully chosen as regards the material
and design.
In spite of the beauty of youth, of which
so much is said, 1t is not always such an
easy task as is supposed to dress any girl
becomingly. The slenderness of youthful
lines is not always to be depended upon
and the gracefulness of youth is often ar
tif1cial and grated upon natural awkward
ness. Quite as often is there large waist
or short waist to be reckoned with and
a clear complexion. bright color and fine
hair are by no means the heritage Of every
debutante.

there are a number of different kinds of
satin that are charningly effective, so
soft and youthful in appearance and with
sufficient luster to prevent their looking
old and heavy. All the skirts are made
exceedingly wide around the foot, and 1t
is rather fad to have the gown intended
only for dancing cut short enough to quite
clear the ground. A longer skirt Is more
becoming and infinitely more graceful, and
yet in a ball room the very short skirt is
certainly smart and most practical, while
cut and hung as 1t is now, with such an
exaggerated flare, 1t has none Of the awk-
wardness that the ordinary short skirt pos
sesses. There must be plenty of ruffles and
flounces, both inside the skirt Itself and
on the drop skirt and petticoat, so that
there shall be nothing seen but soft ruff
fies when the skirt Is lifted to swing to
one side in dancing.
Full skirts deliberately trimmed are fash
ionable in all materials: the old-time ia
vorite, the accordion plated style, as well
as the narrow side plated and the box
plated, all are to be seen again, but with
rows of ruching around the hem, as well

T HIS is the season of the year
when the debutante occupies the
center of the social stage. when
the momentous question OF what
she shall have for her winter
outfit occupies the thoughts of every one
connected with her and when the young
lady herself takes an absorbing interest in
clothes. French dressmakers seem to take
an especial pleasure in making up jeune
file gowns, and they strive for marked in
divduality and TO have the styles quite diff
ferent from those turned out for older
women.
1t must be admitted that the fresh charm
OF the smart outfits provided by the Pari-
sian dressmaker are most attractive, and
the very simplicity seems much more in
Keeping with what is appropriate to the
youthful appearance of the debutante than
can ever be the more elaborate fashions
worn by the older girls.

adds greatly to the expense
Velour and velvet are also to be consid-
cred among the most expensive draperies
which are suited to handsome houses
They are better suited to houses furnished
furniture for instance. than to rooms where
the furniture Is small and delicate. Velvet
or velour. however. can better be used In a
house where the furniture Is of different
periods. different ages and altogether of
home selection than can damask, which is
a material that seems to require almost
artff1cially perfect surroundings to look
really in place. Velours and velvets seem
to At in more readily, not with common
place furniture, because there they, too,
would be out of place. but with less deli
cately adjusted interiors.
Both the silk and linen velours are used
The embossed and brocaded velours are
also popular. The fabrics intended prin-
cipally for portieres are somewhat heavier
than those intended chiefly for windows,
although, of course the same material Is
contrasting colors on the two sides.
Many curtains are red ON one side and
yellow on the other, or rose on one side
and green on the other Blue and scarlet.
cream and pink. purple and yellow are
other favorite combinations. The plain
velour curtains are many Of them ribbed
on one side. They are trimmed with bands
of applique from four to eight inches wide
This trimming Is usually only on one side,
the other side being plain.
The designs used for the applique are in
many varieties of decoration, convention
allied flowers vines and leaves. and nat
ural flower designs being among the most
popular. Applique Is used much more than
embroidery
The very latest thing. however. for trim
ming velour curtains and portieres Is illu-
minated leather applique. It Is used In
wide banas after the same fashion as the
embroidery. This kind of trimming on
velour curtains Is considered especially
suitable for libraries, dining rooms and
halls
