bon in every detail of dress has by no
means been sounded to its depths and
the latest development is the evening
wrap composed of a lattice work of
gauEe or velvet ribbon which is mount
ed over the lightest transparency of
mOusseline de sole which is marked at
each intersected point with a small
knot or a crystal dewdrop. The coat
is outlined with a fold of satin or vel
vet. and heavy tassels are introduced
wherever occasion demands. the sleeves
of the wrap being fashioned of mousse
line de sole, finished with a deep hem
to match the border of the cloak itself
The new maggie" roses have proVid-
ed welcome relief from those in nat
ural cOlOrings and are being used freely
on the large hats of white rice straw.
SILK and velvet form the basis of these
roses, the outer petals being of black
velvet and the center of pure white silk
while black velvet leaves are of the in
variable accompaniment. another novel
~ which IS ACHIEVING a large mea sure
Of success being the black rose with en-
erald green center. The extraordinary
manner i'm which flower heads are now
adays divorced from their stalks and
allied to ferns and grasses to form a
kind of feathery bunch to take the
/ place of genuine plumeS is sufficient to
/ drive the hOrticulturist to despair. but
| there is no denying the fact that some
charming effects are gained thereby
| The little beil-shaped heads of lilies of
/ the valley in white or black are sewn
/ TO long field grasses in shades of green
and these are used in immense clusters
on the crowns OF the hats depending
right over the brim at the back
Straw ribbon dyed in several shades
has already made its mark i'm the world
/ of fashion, and is introduced extensive

/ In place of the huge chouX of ribbon
which have played such an important

! immense PierrOt pOmpOn of tulle in
different shades, a trinity of colorings
being often employed to decorate a
| black hat Mandarin yellow, dull blue
and gray represent the most successful
alliance. these pOmpOns which are
/ placed in front Of the hat being about
/ the size of a water lily.
! The eyes are no longer wearied by a
/ Ions procession of Empire gowns, but
are interested by a mingling Of var
iOUs vogues. The Princess dress is just
as fashiOnd Ole as ever it was. the Di-
Irectoire Is in repute and the Second En-
pire robe has its Votaries and looks
quaint among the rest.
/ The loVeliest example of the latter
period that I have seen 50 far is a
gown of white spTigged muslin with a
full skirt flounced almost to the waist.
Oddly enough. for past and present
mingle most cleverly in the vogues of
today there is TO be worn with this robe
q little crepe cOatee embroidered in all
/ shades of Chinese blue. The shady
mushroom hat that is TO provide one of
the finishing touches of the dress is
made of black crinoline with mass
of china blue feathers upon the summit
composed of mara bout with spikes OF
| cassOwary here and there. each one
ending in an oval like the eye of q
peacOcks Dlumage.
! A very elaborate dress for a dowageI
is made OF striped puce and dove satin
and the really wonderful item of the

form the skirt, which are so arranged
that the dove stripes are only revealed
when the wearer moves and the beau
tiful fabric is fully seen.
Less arrestiye 10 the eye, but of dis
tinct charm is black marqUisette
gown most daintily embroidered with
black silk and soutache with which viii
be worn black net, but covered with
a huge bright pink ribbon bow with
quite fifty loops urOn the crown, ana
just one single enormous pink rosebud
with trailing foliage dropping careless

| A coatee of rich ginger brown cham
Ois was shown to me last week trimmed
with black SOUtache which toned dOwT
the brilliancy of the brown. The muslin
skirt that was ordered to accompany
the cOatce was of pale chestnut shade
All that is wanted is brilliant weather
in which To wear the pretty confection
/ 1t is a comfort to those whose eyes
are wearied and bewildered by the la
bOTiOus efforts made by some dress
makers to introduce intricate motif:
and trimmings into their models TO OBJ
serve the quiet and distinguished STYLE
beloved by the really great modistes
who produce effects that are perfection
by the most careful choice of colors the
use of tn chest and finest materials and
the introduction Of a little but very
striking embroidery or floral decoration
as the case requires.
| The most exclusive mOdistes are par
ticuIarly in favor of coat that does
not quite reach the knees and is es-
sentially loose. one of which shown me
the other day l observed was made OF
the new cedar brown silk. almost en-
tiTely covered with a pattern Of the mar
rOWest possible Nalenciennes lace
wrought in wheels and arabesques and
productive OF an effect that was eK.
ceedinsly new and absolutely charm.
