The new blues will continue popu-
lar, and the gamut Of pink ranges
from tender mauve to deep American
Beauty tints.
- With dresses of soft tan, pearl gray
and the palest champagnes, long gloves
of exactly the same shades are worn,
instead Of white.
The skirts Of the new gowns are
wider than ever The circular skirt is
seen most frequently and circular
fiounces are much used.
Rose color seems coming to the
fore for light cloth tailor-made dress
es. And 1t is extremely effective with
the sheer blouses that everybody Is
wearing.
There's a novelty in women's
washable coats-a hip length box af-
fair made Of white mercerized mems
vesting. 1t hangs perfectly straight
and has a black velvet collar.
A new weave Of velvet has appear
ed, thin and supple and furrowed In
different widths after the manner of
corduroy. 1t is used for the trimming
of gowns and cloth coats.
Gray tones are going to be i'm
mensely popular, and it Is with these
will often be seen some Of the most ar
tistic color combinations. A sombre
shade like gray will be taken as
foundation upon which to build a
splendid color harmony.
The fancy turnover collar is great
favorite, while the Eton and the band
turnover are attractive. When sheer
linen ties are worn with these collars
the effect Is very good, the softness
of the tie taking away from the sever
ity Of the collar without destroying the
trim neatness which belongs to 1t.
The upturned cuff Is the one that
rules the destinies of sleeves, and one
often sees as many as three OF these
upon a single arm covering. They are
spaced between puffs. they are used as
headings for frills, they top the inevi-
table lace ruffies, and they adjust the
fullness Of the sleeve to the most be-
coming point.
separate girdle for a black gown; this
braid comes very wide and can be
easily be arranged over a boned girdle
frame to fit smoothly; these girdles
fasten to the center back, and the
ends of the gold braid can be fringed
to make a finish, or they can be fas-
tened with small loops Of gold thread
and a double row Of rhinestone but
tons.
Chemisettes of all-over lace and
embroidery, whether handmade or
otherwise, are worn alike by old and
young, and because of their being
almost universally becoming, are likely
to retain their popularity for some
time to come. A collar and cuffs may
be made to match the chemisettes, or
they may be made of the same mate
rial as the gown in which the little
vest Is to be worn.
The belts in broadcloth in the pale
shades, such as pink, blue and Nile
green, are worn with lace and net
gowns, in black, white and ecru.
these belts are cut on the bias and
arranged in soft, draped folds over a
light crinoline foundation; the top
and lower edges are cut in round seal
lops and are finished with cord COW
cred with the material. The girdles
fasten in the back with buttons COW
cred with the same material and en-
broidered in white and gold.
- Furs will be richer, more elabo-
rate and more costly than ever. Stoles
with broad capes are among the more
successful models, sable and chinchilla
leading in popularity. There is one
pretty thing about furs this season,
and this is that they are lined in very
artistic fashion. The style is to match
the silk to the fur, and to make 1t
harmonize in every way as we'll as
possible. For instance, gray squirrel
Is lined with slate-gray silk and Is
trimmed with gray silk fringe, and
ermine Is lined with cream color. Sa-
BILE has its lining Of wood -colored satin
and mink Is lined with golden brown.
1t is all a question of hue, and the
woman who is having her furs lined
should by all means be accurate as TO
the shade Of satin which she uses
with them. For the benefit Of the
woman who is too stout there comes
very pretty boa. which is built for
some short fur. Ermine is ideal for
young woman. but the woman along
in years will use Persian lamb or
other short varieties Of lamb.
The most difficult part in making
transparent dresses is their mount
ings"-that is, the foundations and the
interlinings and by these in such dresses
is not meant crinoline or buckram or any
form Of stiffness; these interlinings, on
the contrary, are ruffles Of silk or lawn
and very supple featherbones. The
foundation skirt for an evening gown
is better made of silk If possible; II not
silk, choose good quality of lawn; cut
1t in either a five-gored shape with a
circular founce or in one Of the cir
cular models; these circular founda-
ton skirts are made with centre front
and back seams and have darts over
the hips. If, however, you have an
old lining which you wish to u.s. for
your dress. and it is a gored model, you
could give the extra fullness to the
lower part of the skirt by adding q
circular. boned founce. When founda-
ton skirts are made with circular
founces 1t is not necessary that the
material of the skirt should extend be-
meath the flounce: finish the fiounce on
the inside with a small, gathered ruftie.
