Moments Rea\m

while the effect on thegarment Is EN-.
tnently chic.
The skirt is seven-gored walking
skirt, and has running around the
bottom just above the hem, when the
material is checked silk, from three
TO five rows of black velvet ribbon.
The vest would be of either velvet,
of which 1t would require about rs of
yard, or of the silk. If you select
the silk, your vest should have ap-
pliqued lace as trimming and black
velvet ribbon and lace about the
cuffs. The velvet would also be used
to confine the blouse, and the velvet
buttons down the front, on the sleeves.
and at the straps about the shoulders.

A Suit Of Black Wolfe.
The ever-satisfactory wolfe in black
or In the different colors would prove
"a most serviceable frock made after
this design. The trimming should be
in taffeta silk; bands running around
the full circle of the skirt. with taf-
feta vest, cuffs, belt and shoulder
straps. Cut steel buttons would be
effective, or touch of Persian or
gold braid about the cuffs and vest.
A black toque with gold trimmings
and taffeta ribbon forming high bows
would complete smart costume.
A lovely gown would be fashioned

use three rows Of two-inch wide seal

would be of straw to match, with
trimmings of moss green foliage and
brown silk roses and brown and green
maline at the hack.
Spring Trimming Profuse.
The trimmings for the spring sea
son at this time promise to be rather
profuse. There is much evidence on
lavish use Of ribbons, laces, braids-
gold, Persian, black, brown and col.
ors to match the dress materials
Taffeta bands are also to be used
very much, and there is still evidence
of the wide braids on the skirts, and
the narrow ones for the blouses OF
Jackets. Taffeta is still seen more as
trimming than as dress stuff
The design shown may be effective

the silk plalds, Rajah cloths. pongee
mohair, brilliantine, eollenne cloth
and the numerous attractive materials
for spring wear.
The skirt should be at least four
inches from the ground, SO as to give
the gown its full modicum OF smart
ness, and relieve the wearer of the
odiousness of having to- hold up her
skirts. A light wrap is Indispensable
at this season, and this will be found
to answer many needs In that line
Women would save themselves man,
annoying colds and at times serious
illness, IL they would only become
accustomed to the light wrap. and
never overlook its value in replenish
ing their wardrobes.
