in the illustration. A smart turban trim
with the coat. For matinee wear under
this charming coat the fair owner will
don the blouse of pale blue taffeta- The
circular ruffie that falls over the double
pulled elbow sleeves gives a broad be-
coming effect. and the insets of tucked
chiffon outlined with white silk braid are
very new. Then how do you like this
very practical motor hat of stitched brown
cloth?
Newest Cardcases.
There is no way of keeping ones cards
fresh and clean, in a gold chain purse, for
the rubbing of the gold soils very rapidly,
as is Interestingly evident whenever white
gloves are worn. SO that a separate card
case really should be carried at all times.
The newest cases are of engraved gold
and are Just the size of the card and nat,
so as to be as convenient as possible
These, too, may be jewel studded, but the
plain engraved gold cardcases are still
decidedly smart. The majority open at
the top. like match box. but there are
others the exact shape and model OF
cigarette case. ~ the conservative con-
sidered a great disadvantage, but one
and often two of these cases are frequent
ly seen among the "junk'' collection.
There are many novel adjuncts to the
junk collection. Vanity boxes are no
longer new. but are to be found in many
novel shapes and designs and with space
for even more necessities than In the
first cases. BY some it Is thought better
to keep the powder and powder pun. sep
arate. so that just the right quantity can
be used when desired. and there have
lately been designed little gold boxes for
the tiny puff and small gold TASKS with a
sliding perforated top for the powder.
These two are connected by means Of
small gold chains. with a longer single
chain to attach them to the ring with the
rest of the junk A gold case for lip
salye is another indispensable part of
this collection.
Latest in Embroidery.
Embroidery continues to be fashionable,
but the style changes a little. One of the
newest bits of hand work shows a gown
decorated with pieces of net run with
colored threads. The net is pale silver.
and 1t is darned in filet fashion with pale
rose silk The bit of silvered net is ap-
piled to the bodice. and there are similar
pieces decorating the skirt The. en-
brodery Is very simple. and it lends an
indescrbably French touch to the gown.
A little actual needlework seems nee
essary to the success of ones appearance,
and that Is why so many of the gowns
show hand embroidery down the panels
or around the foot of the gown. One Of
the newest trimmings is the piping of
velvet which must be used as literally
as possible.
A pretty dinner gown of steel color
had the seams all piped with; steel OF a
paier shade. while another gown OF steel
had the neck and waist piped with pink
velvet 1t is surprising what touch OF
beauty this bit Of velvet will give to a
gown.
Vogue Of the Yoke.
There may seem to be a monotony in
the manner in which necks are trimmed,
but 1t is fact that the lace yoke is so
universally becoming that few modistes
will depart from it. They are willing to
vary the style and to introduce several
different varities of lace in one yoke and
stock But they declare that the most
becoming gowns are those that have the
deep lace guimpe or neck and the hlgh
wired lace stock. Even where the neck
Is low they insist upon finishing it with
the inevitable lace guimpe. Nothing is as
becoming they declare. And the wom-
an who understands her own appearance
will agree with the modiste in the matter
of the becomingness of the lace neck.
The matter of the dog collar is one that
| must be treated under the head of
| fashions. for so many necks are made low
| that the. jeweled collar is an important
dress consideration.
/ - An Afternoon Costume.
| The strictly tailored suit, always bit
severe, is happily replaced for the after
noon b va handsome long-skirted costume
of plain cloth. combined with plain or
fancy velvet. A nice costume lately seen
was composed of a long skirt OF blue
broadcloth-the blue of new shade sug-
| costing peacock. The bottom Of the
| skirt was finished with five narrow bias
velvet bands of the. same color. A coat
| that, reached a little over the hips was
| lined with pale blue silk and all the edges
