New York, May THE varieties of
fashions. These are the gay walking
costumes and the restaurant gowns. OF
course, these two STYLES shade into one
another so that at times it is almost i'm
possible to tell them apart. ana the
economical woman combines the best
features of both in one gown. A beautiful
brown lace taffeta dress was worn at a
restaurant dinner the other day. The
waist was n soft golden brown Clunny
lace over louisine lining. Great flowers
of silk We're raised upoI it and across the
bust there werc some lovely big pink
satin roses alternating with roses of gold
lace. The skirt was taffeta trimmed
with bands of lace insertion, all in golden
brown with gold roses set in. For those
who want handsome spring suit, this
chiffon broadcloth will necessarily play
an important part. 1t comes in charming
shades this year and many of the gowns
are 50 beautifully embroidered as 20 be
n real dream in drcssmaking. There are
whole workshops devoted to the embrod-
ering of the chiffon broadcloths for sum
mer wear. A very nice suit built of brown
wolfe very thin and very silky was an eX-
tremely attractive affair with its brown
plaid lining of six and yoke and skirt

sutings for the street are the checks and

though there are so very many smart plaid
suits made up with skirt and eaton eff

rough silk in two shades OF green and
white. The skirt is paneed with the
plaid silk suits. Black yelling may be n
the eaton jacket is bordered with tiny

waists are worn with these brilliant rough
plaid silk SUITS. Black yelling may be a
material that is extremely ugly. Plain
yelling harsh and unyieding and is. in
| fact, rather like the old fashioned grend-
aine, wiry and hard. But there are many
different veilings( some soft in finish and
some with a faint design through them.

charmingly made up wien soft finished

trimmed more or less deliberately with

entirely of It. To keep up the design so
