most elaborate affairs that require
the regulation dinner or evening
dress. a simple little evening dress
might be added il there were room
or any thought that it would be
needed. If one is going to n friends
house, of course more would be re-
quired, but TO a boarding house or
hotel the travelling dress and extra
skirt Will serve all purposes with a
few extra waists.
graceful design for "a skirt was
developed from chiffon broadcloth
and in round length. 1t is circular
in style and can be made in one or
two pieces. the latter bringing a
seam ut the center front and af-
iording perfect fit about the hips.
Two backward turning pleats at
each side of the placket. stitched
down a short distance, dispose of the
extra fulness at the back Circular
ruffles are arranged around the bot
tom and are brought up the front
to n point about half way to the
knees; and three or fewer may be
employed. the lower edge measuring
about five yards of the medium size.
This is very suitable model for
chiffon cloth, voile. foulard or any
OF the soft clinging materials. With
such a skirt the lingerie net or silk
blouse is most in keeping, and a soft
silk crushed belt with a fancy buckle
or metal or jet or gold will make a
good finish
There is a siX-gored pleated skirt
hitting closely about the hips that
would do well for taffeta It flares
at the bottom, where, with the pleats
drawn out, it measures five Yards and
a fourth in the medium sizes. The
front and back are pleated and the
seams made in Duchess effect, all
being stitched to short distance be-
low the hips For house wear softer
materials should be chosen, such as
louisine. chiffon, taffeta. etc While.
for the street mohair, cashmere,
henrietta or some of the softer nov
city goods might be chosen.
For a pretty fOulard in tan, with
white dots scattered over its surface,
graceful skirt of seven cores was
developed with deep flounce. The
latter was attached with a self-head-
ing and the top of the skirt was at
tached to the belt with shirrings. The
waist was of the suspended effect
and the armhole cut very deep. A
band is connected to the back and
front edges of the over blouse by
from the shoulder to waist. The right
front crosses over the left in surplice
fashion and fhe fulness Is held bv
gathers. The sleeves are large puffs
with a cum made of n band of lace,
which lace also forms the under
blouse and standing collar. Long
gloves of tan are worn with cos
tune when used for the street, and
the hat was burnt straw green and
yellow foliage with a few bright red
berries to be seen among them, a
huge bow of brown ribbon on the
crown and underneath the brim at
the back. A brown parasol, brown
shoes and stockings are the accom-
paniments TO this costume.
With such a costume for change
there could be a cream net waist of
filet lace which would be very stylish
and effective for dinner or informal
evening year, and, of course, any of
the pretty lingerie waists are in or
der at the proper times.
Evening gowns and those worn in
the afternoon show effective trim
mings in the way of twisted ropes
of the material, whether i'm cloth
plush silk or soft silk. These out
line the bolero, or are used to pro-
duce the Empire effect, ami are seen
in unique designs on the skirts. On
lace gowns. white chiffon velvet
bands are put in Greek designs
around the bottom and beautifully
appliqued in gold threat. On many
of the wraps the mandarin effect is
seen in the sleeves. which have
broad bands of Oriental finishing the
lower edges.
