embroidered in self color, but on colors
white embroideries are much used. Col
ored embroideries in soft, quiet oriental
standings are delightfully."- rich and ef-
fective.
Bands of colored embroideries trim
tachable, may be varied according to
skirt and hat, for Nine. La Mode de-
crees that we must be a harmonious
whole. But, tho exacting in general ef-
feet, she never before allowed her sub
iects so wide a choice in the fashioning
of their habiliments. No one now need
wear an unbecoming hat, garment or
color because it is fashionable -; there
is such diversity that any one and every
one may look lovely if she but will.
Ribbons Gathered on Cords.
Narrow ribbon is used as trimming,
the plain in ruffles or design, or gath
cred on fine featherbone cords, by which
it is shaped into loops and scrolls.
In the same way founces are gath
cred on reeds or cords, giving the skirt
a pretty undulation, just extending 1t
enough, and without stiffness: Where
cloth is laid in the hem, Or above it,
with reed or two added if the skirt
has many tucks, while for. the drop
skirts Of evening gowns featherbone
crinolette is more suitable.
Among the welcome revivals Of old
materials are faille and surah, the first
for coats and capes, the latter for shirt
waist suits and dressy costumes. Surah
has very much to recommend it; its
soft but springy texture; it does not
crush; it's sheen sheds the dust, and, be-
sides making up charmingly, it wears
we'll. No material could be more suited
to drape over the beautifully fitted
bodice or belt Innings, or to gather up
into the big soft sleeves ending in de-
licious little frills around the arm be
low the elbow, or carried in fine tucks
or shirrings to the wrist. In the skirt,
too, it admits of much play of fancy IN
tucks, corded ruffles and boullionne,
affording all the "frou-frou' one can
desire.
Jaunty Hats Favorites.
Hats and footwear are the crown and
completion, the alpha, and omega of
the toilet, both receiving the greatest
| attention. Hats are inclined to be
small, that is to say, they are bent into
shapes that reduce their size and sit
iauntily on the head, the tricorne, cava.
| lier and Napoleon being the Immediate
| favorites. The last named is a hard
shape to wear, but in the new pliable
straws and relieved of it's severity by
softenlng trimmings, 1t becomes q
thing of beauty and becomingness, al
lowing the couture it's full effect as a
setting for the face. Large simple
shade hats are worn with morning
gowns for the promenade, many being
of embroidered linen laid over shirred
or lace run frames, and merely deco
rated with a twist and rosette of rib
bon, but with elaborate evening cos
tunes, with round or V-shaped neck
der, with feathers and flowers lavishly
but artistically used, charming little
capes and fluffy boas completing such
toilets.
