below into lovely sinuous folds to drag several
inches. Over her shoulders she wore q little
garment Of heavy black silk. composed Of four or
five triple capes. the edge of the lowest one
barely touching the top OF the high girde OF

inch-wide velvet. Short triple frills Of cloth

trio of young women wore noticeably new
costumes. One. pretty blonde. had on a be-
coming gown Of dark blue with nearly imper-
cepuble lines of cerise. The long tunio skirt
hung over narrow circular fiounce: the edge
of the tunic was cut in deep squares and bor-
dered with narrow black braid, and on one side
of each square were lines of tiny black buttons.
The same decoration the little garment,
scarcely more than pelerine, cut also In squares
and hung over the blouse Of matching silk. The
sleeves or TINS We're snort ana circuiar' over
others very full, of white point d'esprit. Her
hat, like many of the latest ones, set fatty on
her head. 1t had rather a wide brim and a full
crown. and its only trimming was huge bird
perched directly in front. The second costume
was of pale rose colored cloth At the top of the
skirt, that fitted closely over the hips 1t was
slashed and held together by velvet straps and
silk embroidered buttons. Below these the full
ness was shaped into broad box pleats, that were
trimmed at the foot elaborately with velvet ap-
plications and silk braid. The odd little coat
that topped this had square revers at the lower
part Of the front only. The short sleeves had
the same shaped trimming, In wide. turned up
pieces fastened to the sleeves by large buttons.
Very elegant was the third costume, of gray
velvet, lightly striped with the finest of white
threads. giving a nice silver effect. The skirt
was hung in clusters of fine pleats. one cluster
directly in the middle of the front, to give the
full effect there, so much seen at present. At
the foot it trimmed with wide entre-deu1
of gray satin ribbon set in tiny Fuckers and
framed in narrow bias bands OF the velvet.
These ended at each side of the front breadth
with enormous button set at the top and
bottom edge The hat with this costume
was stunnng-of the hghtest gray felt, ths
brim wide and dropping low. 1t was worn nat.
also, like one described above. and was trirnmeo
with great double looped bows of pompadour
ribbon. set thickiy together surrounding the
crown. the loops sticking perkily out.
