bow, with long ends in front.
1t Is one of the fads of the year, these
bands Of ribbon going to the back under
the sleeves and then tying in front. 1t Is a
graceful fashion, and, as & rule, a very be-
coming one. The same gown can be copied
in any material. Made entirely of lace, It
looks well, although IN such a case there is
40 opportunity for the tucks of graduated
width.
black tea gown seems rather an ex-
traordinary fashion, but none the less bla ok
tea gowns worn by women who are In
mourning and also by women who are not
but who Ike to themselves CARRIED In
black After all, with so much trimming
as is employed on such a gown, The effect
Is not so somber as might be imagined
The chiffon. chiffon cloth and mousseline
de sole. but preferably the first, are the
favorte materials. Made In accordion pleats
and hanging loose from the shoulders, the
effect given Is that to make a woman look
large. and Is not to be recommended to wo-
men who are inclined to be stout. On a
slender figure the gown is a charming one.
The trimming consists Of a broad band

gown, and oddly enough there are more
pink ones made up than of any other color
The fashion can be elaborated also by the
kind of ribbon used, the ribbon starting
from a rosette at the back OF the neck,
brought down under the arms and tying
we'll down the front in a sash. or with no
settles and long streamers at either side OF
the collar.
Almost without exception the gowns are
made low in the neck for the fad is TO
wear the collarless gown as much as pos
sble When this Is not becoming 1t is
made so by the transparent collar and
yoke of lace or by wearing jeweled dog
collar-the latter d pleasing addition to
expense that counts for naught in days
Of such luxury as the present.
A tea gown should be long. and although
It is a fad now to shorten the train on
most skirts, the rule apparently does not
apply to the tea gowns, which always are
far more graceful when they are long y
matinee may be short, but then matinee,
a. it's name implies, is for morning wear.
a tea gown is for the afternoon. and when
made low neck and with elbow sleeves and
on the elaborate lines that are dictated at
present is, of course, more or less OF an
evening gown and quite possible for an at
home dinner The matinee, on the con-
trary Is distinctively for the morning, no
matter how elaborate in design 1t may be,
and after II o'clock it is not possible.
Most attractive. however, are the matt
nees of the present season. The skirt Is
no. so full as the regular dress skirt out
Is altered or pleated as the case may De,
and is trimmed with one or two founces-
whichever is more becoming. The jacket
is long enough TO reach the top or the
first flounce and hangs loose from the
shoulders It is open in front to show
fitted waistcoat. and reveals while at the
same time 1t hides the figure

brides
OF practical value past all dispute. how
ever, is the bridge score book, in which
ones achievements may be consc!entiOUsly
recorded. Akin to this are mary other
books of sports, by no means least being
the automobile record. In this, OF course,
are kept records of the season. and even
II one hasn't a motor, If ones friends are
prodigal Of invitations ii is possible to keep
a book.
The address book seems almost too COM
monplace to be mentioned IN such lively
company. And yet it Is most useful So
are the telephone book and the book of the
week showing engag ements.
There are scores OF others, Of course.
These only q few, and If a woman has
fads she has to enlarge her bookkeeping
accordingly The neat little books in which
all this systematiZing OF feminine accounts
Is done are most fetchingly bound N soft

only takes few minutes daily and then
the things are off ones mind. There
nothing SO painful having a forgotten

pected guest rafting around In ones brain.
All this is avoided by the little books.

Rainy Day Grace.

Whatever woman is by nature. she can
train herself to avoid getting 'sopping wet"
on q rainy day To begin. have the skirt
short then hold 1t up. A skirt an inch ana
a half off the ground be worn in tho
street rain or shine, without exciting COM
ment.
If we could watch a Partisan woman on a
rainy day we would see her reach around
behind her with her left hand. grasp her
skirts firmly all together, leaving none 10

around at the back from the right side to-
ward the left and thus hold them AT the
back the skirts are drawn plain and FIAT 10
about level with the lady.s shoe tops and
there held. No woman need hesitate to DIS
play a neatly shod foot. The right hand
Is meanwhile free to hold the umbrella or
anything else.

of embroidery on the chiffon itself and a
bnlero jacket Of white chiffon and lace
that in shape resembles strongly the sur
piice worn by an acolyte The lace used
on this jacket is always of the handSom
est, and there Is still more ornamen alton
to be found In the turnover collar of white
satin or silk embroidered in gold. At the
throat in front is a bow of embroidered
chiffon with long ends. The sleeves are
long, very wide and extremely graceful
They are unlined and trimmed with bands
of the embroidered chiffon.
The same model Is effective in dark blue
chiffon or deep red and there is a shade
of blue that is especially fashionable at
the present moment which Is very becom-
ing. Mauve chiffon III different shades IS
also effective made up in this way, and
of course such gown is far more service
able than one of a light color
The embroidered linen batistes and thin
materials covered with embroidery that are
so immensely fashionable this year are
used quite as much for tea gowns as for
gowns intended for any other purpose.
They are made up over the thinnest of
India silks of the same color as the gown

or of a contra sting shade. such as pink or
blue. Sometimes the Innings are of lawn
this to give the thinner more transpar-
ent effect, but even then there should be
lifted underslip of silk.
A most fascinating gown Of this descrp-
tion falls loose from the shoulders in four
pleats. 1t is made of pompadour linen,
trimmed with English embroidery Chat is,
the open-Work embroidery and lace. and
Is OF the most flmy material imaginable
SILK lining. The gown falls open in front
to show an underskirt finished with the
most exquisite embroidery, and has a long
Jacket effect that is very becoming and
makes woman look exceedingly slight.
The back is in loose pleats from the Shout
ders-apparently shapeless. but in reality
curved well in at the waist line. The
sleeves are Of plain batiste In box pleais,
trimmed with bands of English embro1-
cry with a beading through the center.
They are very becoming and rather pie
turesque, although much larger than many
of the sleeves that are seen On the new
gowns.
The accordion pleated thin batiste wrap
pers on the same model as the chiffon ones
that have been in fashion for some years
are just fashionable as ever this year.
The trimming, the jabot of lace down the
front, the ruffie of lace below the hem and
the ruf1e of lace on the elbow sleeves are
all that are used as a rule. but the model
is elaborated upon by bands of entredeux
down the front, around the back and out
lining the jacket effect-ths when the ac-
Gordon peating from the shoulders Is not
becoming. Occasionally accordion pleated

for women at all inclined to be stout.

end Of wear. The colorings are light-the
lighter the better-and white Is always
fashionable, although as time goes on this
year the colors seem to be preferred to
the white; this because white has been
worn SO long time. But one makes no
mistake in choosing a white gown, II the
choice is limited.
However, in these days of luxury, when
the cost of tea gowns Is unlimited, 1t Is
generally found possible to have two or
three and not to be confined to the one
all white. There are number of shades
in pink, especially in the rose pink that
are charming. In the model illustrated.
which is decidedly new in every particular,
the shade is an indescrlba bly, soft one, that
seems like petals Of a pale pink rose, the
effect being heightened by the lining of
India silk of shade deeper than the wolfe
Itself.
The back of this tea gown Is a model of
handwork as regards the hand-run tucks
of different widths. There are bands OF
lace entredeux, one around the lower part,
one across the back, one around the Shout
ders and another outlining the long JAG 6et
effect at the sides. The front Is a mass Of
rufies of lace. The sleeves are in double
puffs, with rows of shirring between them,
and finished with a deep ruff1e of lace and
with bow Of pale rose pink satin. headed
with rosette. The rosette at the back OF
the neck has two little ends with tassels
of pale pink satin, and starting at the ro-
settle are broad ends of the satin that go

wishes to remain unfolded, as many women
prefer. The case Is simply two pads of
silk about eight by ten inches, overhan1ed
at the edges and caught together at two
corners, bows being used to hide the
stitches. over the silk pads are spread
two pieces Of linen embroidered, of she
same size The linen is tucked to the silk
pads al the corners. The word "Handker
chiefs IS embroidered or chain-stitched
across the upper piece of linen.
One of the Illustrations also shows
hair receiver of white linen which Is most
attractive and infinitely more useful than
almost anything else for this purpose,
since it need only be unbuttoned at the
back to be easily Numbered. This holder
is quite large, and may be used for other
purposes instead of as a hair receiver If
one wishes. AS small catch-all II would
be useful hung on a desk.
The linen for this case should be of a
heavy quality. Butchers linen does very
well. Before embroidering the linen 1t
should be shaped in order that the deco
ration may fall In the right places. As
shown In the picture part of the embroid-
