A model of blue and cream check
ed wool has a tailor-made three-quar-
ter length coat rather close fitting,
with a plated skirt that clears the
ground. The coat has a dark green
turnover velvet collar and cuffs OF the
same color, and 1t is cut double
breasted. ~
This idea Of several colorings In
the girdles accompanying nhgerie
frocks has found much favor, and Of
ten five or six of the pastel tones or
Of the popular faded tones are min
gled in one girdle, as they are min
gled in many Of the smartest hats OF
the season. Hat and girdle may cor
respond with good effect. and this idea
is carried out not only In the combi-
nations of several colors but also In
many shadings of one color, the Amer
lean Beauty, apricot or banana yellow
and rose being, perhaps, chosen most
for these shaded acces-
sories.
Flat fibre braid appears upon
many Of the tailored versions OF the
loose bolero costume, and a waistcoat'
equally embroidered, or touch OF
upon collar and cuffs, Is
almost inevitable. Embroidery upon
heavy linen of some kind Is particu-
larly liked for these relieving notes,
but cloth or silk is often used In place
of the linen, and embroidered galloons,
combined with braid, are substituted
for the hand embroidery in the less
expensive frocks. Bordering OF vel
vet ribbon Is much In evidence and Is
effective when cleverly introduced, al
though a rather crude form of trim
ming when awkwardly handled.
The fad for making up gowns by
hand has lost nothing Of its popularity
and women who make their own gowns
are thankful for pongees to sew on
since they are so soft the needle just
seems to run along Of itself. Taffeta,
on the contrary, which Is a very smart
silk this season, Is one Of the most diff
ficult silks to sew by hand, 1t Is so stlH
and the weave Is so close. Lovely en-
broidery Is also done upon pongees,
both In self tints and In contrasting
colors, and everyone knows how smart
embroideries are this season, not only
upon gowns, but on wraps, hats, slip
pers and even gloves, although there
are those who prefer simplicity In
glove.
The new shirred bands and side
pleatings appear particularly adapted
to soft silks, and seem to accentuate
their softness and delicacy. Self TRIM
mings are a boon to the woman who
has not much money to spend nor time
In which to select trimmings that
match the wonderful tints now In
vogue. The self trimmings made or
bands and folds and ruffles, shirrings'
puffings and pleatings of the same
material solve many vexed question
as to how trimming shall be put on.
A safe general rule to follow is to have
trimming put in an upright, or nearly
upright position, on simple, short
gowns, and to have 1t set around the
skirt upon long and elaborate ones.
Little cravats Of point de Venise
or other costly lace are happy insplra-
tions for the blouse Of taffeta SILK or
mousseline. Falling collars and ber-
thas Of lace are as fashionable as ever,
the yoke collar of fine or coarse lace
being particularly attractive. Yoke
collars composed Of bands Of Valen-
ciennes lace insertion united by
cross stitch or bands Of embroidery, or
of net covered with little rushes Of rib
bon and motifs Of lace, are decorative
and fashionable and among the newest
designs in neckwear. Nor must inser-
ton be omitted or the cape collars In
lovely old lace, the little tips turned
back, rever fashion, and wired. New
and artistic, too, are the jabots of ecru
mousseline de sole tied in bows at the
neck and bordered with snowballs.
One color schemes are worn by all
smart women this season, and In this
style of dress the hat and shoes must
match the gown, and so must the ho-
siery and underwear or the ribbons
run through the latter. Many women
are taking advantage Of this one-color
scheme to dress in representation OF
flowers. They have cut-out patterns
of the flowers stitched over their gar
ments and embroidered upon them and
show the tints of the flowers In shoes,
stockings and hat. For an example
the light blue gown would have forget
me- nots as trimming, and the accom-
paniments of the costume would all
be white and blue, while the pongee-
colored costume would have dull gold
en- flowers as decorations, and their
soft shades would be repeated In the
accompaniments Of the toilette.
Black and colored silk stockings,
drawn in parts to initiate lace, or with
fronts entirely Of lacework, are among
the most charming fashions pertaining
to footwear. Bronze brown leads the
way. Whether in spun silk or Isle
thread, the new bronze stockings are
lacy and exceedingly smart on the foot,
They are the necessary accompan-
iment to brown and bronze shoes. Wo-
men are more and more in favor OF
dressy looking walking shoes, cut low,
with a single bar across the instep. A
good deal of stocking Is visible, so that
decorative hosiery has, consequently
risen to greater Importance In the
scheme Of every day attire. Black and
white spun silk stockings are appear
ing as fine stripes when worn; others
show lace patterns. Wear your low
shoes tied with broad ribbon, matching
perfectly the shade of the shoes ana
hose. Or, If still more up-to-date, get
your shoes with several straps across
the front, these either with two buck
les. or one buckle or fastened with big
buttons. The strapped are perhaps
newest, and yet the button ones only
are worn in some places, many con-
sidering the lace shoes entirely out.
The new circular skirt Is an i'm
provement upon the earlier circular
model in that it does not sag as the
