 The woman who has remnants of various sorts tucked away that have so far proved unavailable (though they seemed things not to be relinquished when she bought them at some special ly enticing bargain counter) can now rejoice, for the most exclusive dress creations now appear to be construct ed of cleverly combined remnants of silk, cloth, velvet net and braids and lace of all sorts. The only thing that saves them from looking patched is the fact that all the materials employed are, as a rule, of single color. DYED LAcEs.
 Dyed laces are again in great favor and lace that is somewhat soiled or not of the finest grade, has 8 way of com ing back from the dyers looking as well as It's betterS. And all of that frater- nity are now expert in dipping mate. rials of various sorts so that they all match in the end.
 FOR INEXPENSIVE EVENING DRESSES dotted or plain net is most advisable, the skirts made with cluster or single tuCkS or lace insertions; the waists full with guimpe, and elbow sleeves having a full, double ruching of the material, with colOred ribbon folded or gathered between the ruching, and finished with a small but smart bow on the outside. Voile is another val uable material, and may be worn on other occasions than in the evening, especially if black.
 A WHITE LACE WAIST
 with black velvet ribbon in bretelle shape over the shoulders, is very stylish, and 60 easily made at home, good lace costing only 80 cents or $1 per yard, and oftentimes several yards of ribbon velvet may be lying by unused. If the velvet ribbon Is not wide, two bands are best and laced across in some fancy way, with "baby-ribbOn width velvet. A belt of similar stuff is a necessity, as we'll as an epaulet on the shoulder, often made of ends of velvet cut in points. If one desires . handsome evening dress, chiffon cloth, lowered fabrics are at one's disposal.
 THE EXTRA STYLISH SUIT comes in three pieces, the under waist being of some light weight material, the front trimmed with paSsementerie, buttons or embroidery, the short jack ct in 8 tone to match, and the skirt of . asimilar material. A stylish result is attained by a plaided skirt and plain Jacket.

 FAsHlONABLE LITTLE GOWNS.
 "Little gowns," as the French call them, are in great demand, so much 90 that even among ready-mades they are shown in great variety. They are gowns, but made of dainty materials and with often great elaboration in 5. their trimmings.
 
 The latest demand is for braided eff. fects of all sorts. SOutache is braided put on edgewise-On velvet and on silk and cloth, and wider braids that are frequently constructed by combin. ing three or more narrow braids and still farther enriching their effect by insects of tinsel cloth or velvet. OPPORTUNITIES FOR HOME DRESS
 MAKERS.
 All these tendencies and the great number of pretty inexpensive materi als to be had, offer great opportunitie! for home dressmaking. It is quitt possible with good patterns to turn ou "little gowns" that compare well witt professionally built ones where an at tempt at suit of tailor-made sor, would result in complete failure.
 COATS AND WRAPS.
 LOng and three-quarter coats are eS pecially useful as well as smart, ant economical women who like such gar ments to last long time, choose blacl or dark quiet colors for these but have them lined with white or pearl gra! so that they may accord with dressy gowns as we'll as plain ones.
