mousseline de sole is very attractive
when striped with satin--more espe.
oially, black satin. This is one OF
the favorite materials of the moment.
and very lovely Il looks when mount

whop worn with sash of crepe de
chine in some vivid shade such as
cerise, emerald. green or lancret blue.
Some of the new gauzes are striped
with velvet and a distinct novelty is
Indian muslin with cross bar lines in
velvet and IN satin.
II is quite certain that stripes can
be made to make the figure look
slender il they are properly manipu-
lated, but they demand a master hand
Mt all times and no woman who
weighs more than seven stone should
dream Of adopting them in any but n
perpendicular position.

One of the fancies of the moment
Is 10 be very long on the shoulders,
and many of the loose bodices which

show wide armholes reminiscent of
the Chinese outline, with loose sleeves
coming through these. overhanging
some tight white lace sleeves which

with the skirt striped from waist to

Ivory lace mounted over chiffon was
justified by the under-sleeves to

loose ninon sleeves.

the vest was of transparent ivory lace
and the skirt, which was cut ON the

Talking of skirts reminds me that

Among other extremely pretty full
skirts destined to play their part at

white chiffon lowered with monster
hydrangeas with a broad hem of
mauvo silk at the base, the bodice
