cloth bands or some of the fascinat-
ing new motifs in cloth, combining
velvet and gold.
Many Of the sheer materials chif-
fon, gauze, mousselline and thin, semi
transparent silks-are combined with
such heavy fabric as cloth, velvet and
closely braided tafteta by way of trim
ming.
A gown of the new shade of hello
trope, with a strong tinge Of pink, had
its beauty much heightened by band
Ing of white velvet richly embroidered
In scrolls of gold, interspersed with
several shades of lavender and gold
embroidered discs.
Among the lovliest of the new trim
mings for a white or colored evening
gown is one Of pompadour silk padded
flowers, with fascinating touches of
gold spangles and silver tinsel.
Another has clusters of lilacs in two
shades Of heliotrope, with foliage heav-
lily embroidered In silver thread and
opalescent paillettes. Green spangles
in the border give an indescribably
beautiful effect.
A very airy trimming for a chiffon
cloth ball gown In large colored flow.
ers embroidered directly on the mate
rial, surrounded by scrolls OF lace in
sorting and ruffles, through which mar
row ribbon the same color as the flow
ers Is woven.
Bugles, beads, scrolls and velvet
flowers in several shades Of brown and
gilt form an applique that gives Just
the right bit of color to relieve the
dullness which an entirely brown cos
tune Is apt to possess.
Bugles are very strong this year on
most Of the new trimmings. Especially
Is this noticeable in the jetted passe-
menteries.
BY the way. these jetted trimmings
are peculiarly lovely, being seen in
bands, heavy motifs and in most grace
full separate floral garlands and fes-
toons that can be easily attached to a
gown even by the home dressmaker,
Other plaid buttons are surrounded
by brown glass cut in jeweled effects
and gilt scrolls. Especially fetching
was set in different colored enamel,
plaided in gold and black and half COW
cred with a graceful thistle design.
Black evening gowns are always
considered useful. They are, in truth,
almost essential to complete the ward
robe Of the woman who goes out a
great deal. Jet spangled tulla gowns
are always stylish and becoming, ami
were never more fashionable than at
present, while even women who are
wearing light mourning have an op-
portunity to wear evening gowns
made of chantilly or brussels net and
trimmed with bands of taffeta silk or
Grape. II woman is in very deep
mourning she will select an all-black
lace gown worn over black, which al
ways suggests mourning. An all
black lace gown may be relieved by
some touches of Jet and black velvet
ribbon. This produces charming
eject, and may be made more becom-
Ing by the use of white lace or bows
of colored velvet at the wrists.
Although white satin brocade, peau
de sole and similar fabrics are chiefly
used for evening petticoats, many wo-
men prefer all of their finer skirts
to be of wash material, and indeed
nothing is more satisfactory with a
fine dress which has silk drop skirt
than the beautiful hand made batiste
and linen skirts which are the pride
of every women's wardrobe. OF
course. for evening skirts the material
must be so sheer and fine as to make
the garment almost as delicate as
chiffon. For this purpose both ba-
tiste and handkerchief linen are used.
The skirt must be perfectly fitting,
tremendously full around the feet and
every stitch made by hand. Quanti-
ties of lace and embroidery-real lace
and hand embroidery Of the most
skillful sort-are also necessary IL
this skirt Is to be the ideal garment
of this sort. One of the simplest and
daintiest batiste skirts is trimmed
with squares Of eyelet embroidery,

tied in four bows is run above the
founces.
