FASHION LETTER

1 broidered iounces have come to be a prominent feature of well furnished
 wardrobes The hounces are adjust
 ed in q host of ways-with headings
 on both skirt and nounce through which they are laced together with ribbons by loops on both, which are
 also threaded with ribbon, and by but" i tons and buttonholes which fasten under blind band at the top of the nounce.
 l Some charming reVivals of the Sec ond Empire effects in skirts are prom | ised Us brought about by the popu- i larity of La Sayelle," q play now in vogue in Paris. Of course this would mean the crinoline of it were carried
 to it's iurthest limit, but the crinoline on it's old lines at least is not mod ern possibility, yet some of the orna- mental scroll designs that were used l on the voluminous skirts of the Elm press Eusenie are being used on many of the latest models The first 1 design copied from one worn by Re
 jane. who takes the principal part in La Savelle,' is of striped silk in black and white with cross bars in velvet ribbons, the bars being diag- onal to each other, and placed only on the wide white stripes. On anoth- CT goWn-an evening gown this time the velvet ribbon with frilled edge of lace was arranged in formal daisy pattern at regular intervals around the bottom of the dress This idea could be carried out in almost any kind of material, lace insertion, and charming suggestion for trim ming the spring or summer frocks. One more lovely gown of point d-es- prit had the skirt trimmed with founces of net edged with lace. The flounces were set in deep points and were finished with butterfly bows of ribbon, while the sash of black rib bon had butterflies embroidered ill the natural colors at irregular in' tervals.
 The return of the cord and tassel for every possible use has brought forth plaited skirts where each plait was fastened to the next by a frog with tasselled ends of the same color as the material or of shade to har- monize with it. Tassels are used for sash ends and fringe is being used discreetly but with ever increasing popularity both on skirt aounces and waist.
 Shirt waists are being shown both fancy and plain to suit the taste and needs of every one. The lingerie blouse still holds it's own in popular ity and is designed with tucks and plaits in various arrangements. One style is tucked solid across the front in yoke depth, while the back shows only few at the center but extending from neck to waist, and to harmOnize with the remainder the sleeves are also luckeu. AlOlucF SlNIc IS eIll- broidered below the bust and still an other, for general wear, has a front yoke with rather wide tucks below, | while the back has yoke facing matching the front in outline. Epau- lettes distinguish fancy mode that l is very much tucked and has chem
 isette and strap-like ornaments.
 which add to the appearance of the garment.
 The jumper continues to excite popular worship and new designs are
 anxiously looked for. A late mode
 has no opening but is slipped on over the head and simply held to- gether at the front by tiny ribbon straps. The neck is in V shape at the
 back, but oval in front and clusters of
 narrow tucks across the shoulders produce pretty fullness. Cap-sleeves caught together to correspond with
 the front or three-quarter sleeves in
 puff style ,are included in the design.
