Now that the season is supposed to be over and
dressing is less formal one sees the appearance of
great many gowns with short skirts. These some
times present the curious mixture of SIM
pnclty and elegance. For instance a pongee gown
with short, pleated skirt and shirtwaist is fin

cred linen collar Over the shirtwaist hangs a
loose boero Of beautiful tinted lace made with loose
snort sleeves This is. of course worn with long
elbow length

gown of allOver English embroidery is trimmed
with shaded green gauffered ribbon used in three
rows the skirt. One row is put in a straight
gauffered band about two inches above the bottom
OF the skirt, and two more set above in

best ideas in trimmings A nice example of gray
fish blue alpaca is made with a pleated skirt and
collar and lapels embroidered in bright blue and
white braid

as silk fabrics and in some qualities are so light
that the foundation or lining must be taken into
account An interesting gown is made of thin
mohair in shot brown and green effect, mounted
over brown. This Is trimmed with wide brown
mohair braid and the small double-breasted bolero
has reversible sides faced with rich Chinese blue
embroidery.
