It is in truth a princess gown of perfect fit
that should be made up as the lining, but as
this presents many problems It Is some
times safe to have waist and skirt, In
reality two pieces, but Joined together in
such wise that the band does not show.
In order to obviate the too thick ap.
pearance that the full folds OF the material
sometimes give, the girdle IL brought for
ward from the center of the back and then
slants downward under the arms, almost
as though intended to give q pointed belt
in front. OF course this is not In strict ac-
cordance with the true empire style, but,
after all, 1t Is the modifying of any marked
style that makes It possible for most
women.
At first the thin, gauzy nets ana laces
and all such fabrics were considered the
most desirable, but now ell materials that
are soft and drape well are used. Cpere
de chine and soft silk make up most charm
ingly and are most popular, one OF the
smartest models being a pale gray crepe

Ing with the fashion to have the embroid-
cry around the hem OF the skirt and at
the top of the waist than in designs, but,
IL SO desired, the embroidery can be con-
tinued ell over the gown, only having 1t
heavier across the waist and around the
hem. As can readily be understood, this
is fashion that furnishes unexampled on
portunity for lavish expenditure, as when
embroidery is fashionable, and. In fact, de-
manded by any especial style, it is con-
sidered best, when expense Is no object, to
have this work done by hand That is the
general rule for all gowns this year, but
SO exquisite Is the work done by machine

difference. However, ii is fashionable to
be extravagant and not to be content with
anything that is not of the finest and best
SO that the most exquisite Of embroideries
are used apparently recklessly.
When the empire style first made its ap-
pearance 1t was relegated almost exclu-
sively to tea gowns, and 1t must be adj
mitted that 1t does seem rather more ap-
propriate for that sort of gown than for
any other, for 1t Is decidedly on what used
to be considered the neglige order, such as
was best suited for home wear. But with
the growth of popularity for the tea gown
and its graduation from bed room wrap
per to an informal dinner gown the empire
style at once seemed possible for many
occasions which formerly would have been
considered quite impossible. At the present

CONSPICUOUS OF btrOHSIy IIdIhco
fashions that from time to time
make their appearance have al
most invariably to go through a
period of probation, as 1t were,
before being universally accepted. Although,
as rule. they receive the approval of the
wealthy class in their fish showing, they
almost always have to be modified to be-
come universally popular.
There are several reasons for this SEEM
ingly odd state Of affairs. To begin with
the great majority Of women cannot buy
recklessly, and the number Of gowns they
purchase in the course Of a year Is OF
necessity limited. Consequently they want
to be certain that the models they select
are going to be in style for some months,
and 1t Is well known that often fashion
meets with approval when 1t 10 first exhib-
tied and then suddenly goes out" Is ta-
booed. All eccentric designs are liable to
this danger. and so the woman who can
buy without counting the cost selects any
and every gown she likes knowing that IL
she gets tired of 1t she can throw It aside
for new one. while she who can buy only
q few gowns in the year does not risk the
experiment.
