case Of the brown cape bolero model
sketched here, and one Twenty-third street
house is showing a very effective model
in coral pink tussOr. loose little coat and
skirt heavily trimmed In straight bands OF
black velvet in graduated widths.
A touch OF velvet is likely to occur upon
even the filmiest OF French frocks, and a
new idea is the introduction of chiffon
broadcloth into the trimming Of lingerie
frocks Several lovely cloth trimmed lin
gerie models have been shown by exclu-
sive shops, and though this union OF cloth
trimming with sheerest batiste, embroid-
cry and lace sounds incongruous, the effect
In each case was emphaticaIy charming
and called forth complimentary comments
from every modish woman to whom the
models were shown on opening days.
One of these models had a dainty short
coat Of Empire lines made Of batiste almost
covered by hand embroidery, and bands
of delicate pastel blue cloth ran over the
shoulders to the short waistline where they
ended in loops and ends Bands OF the
cloth trimmed sleeves and girdle and skirt

soft blue mingled with the filmy batiste
ami embroidery and lace that II added
greatly to their charm.

batiste and lace. had shrimp pink broad
cloth sparingly introduced.
The one piece gowns Of embroidered lin
gerie stun are more Cobwebby and beautiful
than ever this year. and every woman
should have several well made silk slips in
her outfit this summer, for the one piece
model Joined al waist line hy inset lace or
embroidery is the model par excellence for
sheer muslins and transparent materials.
Hand made French lingerie gowns lavishly
embroidered and lace trimmed are naturally
costly luXuTies, hut there are cha rming one
piece models which are not appallinRly e1-
pensive and are very effective.
Fifth avenue house makes a speciality
Of one such model in fine embroidered swiss.

froCk is trimmed with many hues OF ma rrOw

and cuffs of valenCiennes and IL worn over
an India silk slip matching the enbTcidered
dots in color. A white swiss with lilac dots
worn over palest lilac silk is especially
pretty in this model,
Effects obtained by color or design Of the
lining used under rsemi-transparent material
are very important in the dressma ker's cal
culations this spring and, though many Of
the loveliest models are one tone in coloring,
the contrasted Innings often give very
happy results.
A silk with white ground barred on into
large checks by black lines and a similar silk
in stripe instead Of check are favorite
foundation silks for one tone voiles, mar
quisettes, DC, and are successfully used
even under some Of the figured stufs. For
example, delicate blue voile with an empire
wreath design in soft pink and green at wide
intervals was effectively made up over one
of the black and white line checks just de-
scribed, and white chiffon flowered in nose
gays of light hueS look extremely well over
a white ard black lire stTipe.
One pretty French frock in pale blue
marquisette was made over a silk having
large black rings scattered over a white
ground and was trimmed in narrow bands
Of black taffeta. A gray mousseline de
sole. 80 pale in line that il was almost a
cloudy white, had a design embroidered on
it in the finest of ridescent beads the design
being repeated at five inch intervals. This
beautiful material was made up over a
striped silk Of palest gray and 2 blue as
faint and was trimmed in cobwebby lace
and touches of blue velvet.
Linen frock models are particularly in
teresting this season, the union Of soutache
braiding and embroidery used upon a
majority Of the imported models giving
them an air distinctly novel. This soutach-
ing upon the French frocks is done entirely
by hand, but the difficulty in getting such
work done tyy hand here is leading to lavish
use Of machine sOutaChing, with results
disastrous to the domestic models
