\ FEW EXQUISITE DINNER
GOWNS RATHER ON LOUIS STYLE

This is q season when women are de-
voting their attention to the production
OF their dinner and house gowns. Fol-
lowing in the wake of all other cos
tunes both ball and dinner and house
frocks are elaborate. There is little
doubt but that the Louis types in their
various forms are most used for dinner
gowns. a number OF handsome dinner
gowns recently constructed were most
engaging. One model that limited
strongly OF Louis XIV lines had a long
coat OF striped blue and silver over a
skirt Of the mousseline de sole trimmed
in lace and garlands of small silver It's
sue roses. Silver roses and lace were
used TO decorate the low-cut bodice and
silk roses were applied to the plain blue
silk cuffs turned back to close the sleeve
just at the elbow and upon the revers.
Silver has not been so much used for
years.

Another exquisite creation of pink

pailettes and around the very full skirt

cut round obtained a square effect from

with silver. The sleeves were in the
form Of butterfly bows of tuIle into
whose eenters were tucked little clusters
OF silver roses. The girdle was of cloth

Light Blue Tulle and sequins.
Alfshades of light blue seem to be en-
Toying new lease OF life. A costume of

with SeQuins in blue that shaded tn sI1cb

means of loops to the froek instead If

Sheer and eXquisitely embroidered laea

Precisely how these are handled de-

corners, each making two pieces Three

Tinsel pictures are among the curious
and interesting works of art now being
unearthed by the thousands of search
ers for antiques. The woman who is
fortunate enough to have had some Of
the possessions of her ancestors handed
down from the beginning of the last cen
fury will find these pictures, with others
in which the figures are formed from
hair, framed in funny old holdings built
from acorn or tiny opaIescent shells
The tinsel picture Is really a quaint
coloFed or steel engraving, decorated
with glittering spots of tinsel while the
garments of the personages figuring
therein are treated to insertions Of silk
and satin together with adornments of
lace and metallic thread.
An English Girls Work
a clever young woman in England
has recently revived this art, and her
work is even kdner than that seen in
the very old pictures. She employs gen
uine old prints for her backgrounds.
while the gorgeous Taiments Of the fig
ures are embroidered and inset with ev-
cry conceivable form Of silk, brocade.
lace, net, velvet, cloth of metal. and
even ivory and real jewels, the old-fash-
Toned costumes allowing any amount of
ella bo-Gtion. Several Of her pictures
have been brought over by American
tourists.
Copies Of the old masters, such as
Van Dyck and Holbein, and prints Of
famous early actresses furnish many
of her backgrounds, though curious
IA shion plates of the 1880 period pre-
sent wonderful possibilities in this deli
cate but effective art work.
One of the Oldest Engravings.
Among the Oldest engravings is one
dated 1910, which shows the mayoress of
London in calling costume. The back
ground is left undecorated save for a
wash of water color on tie stiff ''Noa h $
Ark trees. The mayoress, however is
arrayed in dead rose silk over green, her
brown and gold bodice being practically
concealed by u lace tippet. and her mead
adorned by sifken hat.
An 1880 print shows Mrs Andrew
Jackson in hoped skirt and voIuminous
sleeves. The double fiounced skirt of
pink silk has a front panel of satin bro
caded IN pink velvet roses, and each
flounce is edged with gold thread in leaf
covering the panel, is an all-lace skirt
