broideres of rare richness. One loose little
coat, patterned after sable one or fabulous
price had a deep border of two sorts Of
brown silk braid dropping under the fur
part like longer coat. The three-quarter
bishop sleeves were slashed at the bottom,
the fur hanging loosely also over puffs made
entirely of brown chiffon IN tiny ruffies A
narrow little cravat tied bow fashion, was
a charming neck finish.
Match Your Furs.
Again, If the gown is Of cloth with a coat
of it's own, fur set will be worn. Favored
sets are made of white fox, the scarfs COM
posed of several sizes, with two heads
crossed at the back and the ends fairly
dancing with feathery tails. Immense muffs
go with tnese-these, too, having head and
tail ornaments. Thanks to the new ways
of preparing furs, those supplied for even
ing wear are Of a downy lghtness, and
doubtless all the white fox and erInine sets
will be worn far into the spring. At any
rate. for the moment they are Indispensable,
and no light fur coat in dressy style is
likely to be reduced in price before the
time for wearing them is utterly past.
In contrast to the growing furbelow of
evening frocks, some OF the spring gowns
for day wear appear extremely simple.
Cloth is used in quantities, stitching and
braids OF silken softness, and matching the
gown color exactly taking the place OF
heavier trimmings. Plain yelling in a solid
color still obtains admirable results, espe-
clally when trimmed with soft-fnished tat
fetas in a matching shade Some three
quarter coat models are very handsome in
cloth which in the thinner qualities gets
equally good results from princess effects.
II the material is fine enough. the fitting OF
princess cloth gown into the waist is often
done by tucks. Little coat treatments go
with a number of the princess gowns CIV
ing a fiXy look to effects which might other
wise be too plain
Pretty Models.
Description of cuts are as follows; In the
smaller drawing, titled two elegant street
gowns. may be seen two frocks Of uncom-
mon smartness. The coat model. which is
trimmed with stitched bands of same, Is or
pale brown cloth. A hat of white felt with
a crown band OF brown velvet and white
feather is worn with this. masses Of brown
tulle banking It at the back.
The princess model with tucked skirt Is
likewise of cloth, but in more silken quail
ity. 1t is in a new shade Of blue with black
taffeta trimmings. The hat is of pale beige
manila straw, the trimmings beige and
black lace and black fancy feather.
In the larger drawing are shown three
charming dinner dresses in the several
styles smart women are wearing. The most
noticeable of the trio at first glance COM
prises chiffon skirt and lace coat In cleo
tric blue, built on black chiffon. This modi-
f1es the flashing color most beautifully, and
the gown is made IN one of the styles de-
SCr1bed. HAT, a wired shape or black tulle,
showing a long black paradise plume and
white gardenias at the side. A dazzling and
yet simple feature of this skeleton head
piece was little edge OF electric-blue bull
lion.
In Light Yelling
Pale blue yelling shapes the dainty, youth
full little frock next to this whose robe
front is of new French lace, with very
eriss-cross thready appearance. A pale blue
sash of gown taffetas, cut on the bias and
hemmed Is worn with this dress, and the
hat is of blue erin trimmed with blue tafreta
ribbon and pink roses.
The third gown is of white chiffon cloth
deep cream shade-ma gnificently embroid-
cred and braided. A touch of black braid
and black In the needlework and a deep
belt of black liberty panne are sharp and
delightful accentuations. The hat Is of
cream white felt. with black panne tsim-
ming and facing and a cluster OF black
feathers.
With all OF these gowns the white lace
stocks and guimpes, which now play so Sc
rious part in fine get-up, are details.
Exquisite In make, web fine In material
and faultless In fit, some of the guirnpe and
undersleeve sets provided for smart gowns
are treasures In themselves All the arts OF
the needle, all the daintiness OF the daintiest
laces are employed to shape them: but the
result is simple, even adorably maidenly
sometimes. Embroidered batiste with the
tiniest stock and sleeve riches of real Val
enciennes form the prettiest of these sets.
