out the season. It has appeared in
all its typical grace with lines un-
broken from throat to hem and fur
bished and elaborated out of all its
usual semblarce. One thing it has
seldom taken on, however--skirt trim
mings. With the exception of foot
trimming, often of fur or velvet the
skirt of the princess is plain. The
bodice is the point at which elabora-
tions center. One pretty costume IL
elustrating phase Of the many trans
formations Is made of aubergene chif-
fon velvet. The body itself is Of We
netian lace, the skirt extending in the
mOdish princess girdle shape several
inches above the waist line The bole-
ro is of the lace, spangled and jeweled,
and 30, too, lis the long front tab
which lends distinction to the costume.
The short bolero sleeves are slashed
over an underAounee of the lace The
skirt of the gown has wide band Of
sable.
Day and evening bodices, to be quite
up to date, must have the high
swathed girdles. They are at their
hest with the Louis XVI habit basque
coats with bolero fronts. But sylph-
like. proportions are demanded for the
eut-up eorages which tend toward
short-waisted effects.
Another skirt of historic name is
ont. This time it is copy of a skirt
worn by Madame do Montespan, and
is play on the princess or cowboy
model, reaching several inches above
the waist line. The new skirt fits per-
fectly at the top and fare voluminous-
ly5at' the hem. It is always worn with
a silk blouse and is intended for house
wear.
The feather-laden hat is growing
larger and higher as the season adj
vanees. AS to the feathers themselves
they are assuming giant proportions.
Not content with encircling crowns,
the feathers fall well below brims.
They are dyed in all cOlors, but Titan
reds and dahlia shades lead.
Boleros of broadtail decked with
emine are among the nattiest skating
Jackets. A trig example is bordered
with black velvet, which is crossed
at the front and finished with row
of white fur buttons which have jet
rims. A corresponding row of err
mine tails completes the effect The
sleeves, which are very wide and short,
arc made of ermine and Irish lace,
the bolero repeating the lace in lit
tie yoke. A white cloth skirt is worn
with the jacket The accompanying
hat is white, trimmed with shaded
roses.
A pretty reception gown is made of
n combination Of pastel gray cash
mere souple and peau de sole. The
full bolero effect and sleeves of gray
peau de sole appear over plain euta-
way basqded coat of gray velvet The
silk is stitched onto the velvet, and is
fashioned in one; the revers and waist
coat are of white kid embroidered with
gray and silver, while the skirt, bor-
dered with velvet buillonnes, falls in
n ASAAAs
Soft white blouses are as fashiona-
BILE as ever when worn with the right
skirt at the right time. They are noe
rect with a dark colored skirt for
evening affairs, but they are worn
with coat suits of colors, with
white mohair skirts in the house and
with smart plated dark skirts at ones
own luncheon table and during the
morning hours. Cotton batiste and
China silk are prime favorites in then
making An exceedingly pretty one
may be made of white China silk run
with bands of shirred tucks at bust
and mounted on a pointed chemisette
and stock of German val. At the edge
of the ehemisette there should be fiat
drapery of the silk, edged with silh
cord at the top and band of lace be
low. The sleeves are put into arm
holes with gathers, then given pun
effect by the shirred tucks and drop
ing at elbow over a tight cuff Of lace
lined with net, finished with rueh
ING of lace and a row Of pearl buttons
The same design is equally good u
eolored China silk, bengaline silk, cot
ton batiste and chiffon cloth to mattel
the skirt in color.
Afternoon gowns are among the mos
characteristic clothes in woman
