skirt opening over the lace panel are
treated to a narrow embroidery in white
silk with beads which carries out the de-
sired length of line so necessary TO the
present mode. The greatest embellish-
ment OF the gown is, however. the all
over embroidery of silk and beads, tie
latter of several sizes.
This embroidery follows a conventional
foral design, with the largest flowers
sOmathing like three inches I'm diameter
The embroidery followed deep scallOp
outline all round. with heavier lines in the
back, where Il was carried all the way 10
the belt with narrow line Of beads. mark
ing the center Of the back. The bodice IS
cut with square rather than round neck,
with long shoulders coming well over the
top Of the sleeves. the latter being little
more than puffs Of the point applique
The bodice, which is OF the prevailing
smart draped variety, is embroidered
almost solid in the same general style as
the skirt, but with the wide folds crossing
the shoulders treated 10 an especially rich
and conventional floral design Of silk and
pearls. The Y back and front are filed
with the same point applique that forms
the lace panel Of the skirt and finished by
a short upright ruffie about the low neck
One OF the best-dressed girls in society
this season is Miss Katharine Eddy, Of
Chicago-late Of Chicago, one might be
justified in saying, as her mother, Mrs.
Eddy. has taken one Of the largest and
handsomest apartments in town, and is
generally believed to contemplate a per
manent residence at the Capital. where
she and her young daughter have already
made scores Of friends. Miss Eddys pref
test visiting costume is an extremely
smart combination OF white and blue. The
blue is the gown proper. which is Of
chiffon brOadcloth, with close-fitting. I'M
trimmed skirt. made with a short train.
The bodice is OF the slightly draped
model. very becoming TO the slender fig
ure OF its weareT, with the upper portion
finished in embroidered lace into which
blue and gold enter in perfectly blended
tones. The lace is put on fiat, extending
from the bust line 10 the edge Of the high
collar
The jacket worn with this. at least
during the colder days Of the season, is OF
white fur. short and clOse-fitting-alm
as closely as the regulation tailor-made
jacket Of cloth. The bottom Of the jacket
is cut IN ScdHOpS, ana the sleeves Nl&oe lii
the seven-eighth lerg 9Th so popular for out
door garments. Not the least important
part Of this costume is the hat, which Is
Of blue horsehair braid, extremely fine
and soft. which is worked into a large and
pronounced crown and perfectly straight
three-inCh brim. The beauty OF the hat is
in its apparent simplicity. while it is
really along such smart and difficult lines
that the initiated at once recognize IL as
the highest product of the milliners art
The shade Of blue. which is precisely
alike in hat and gown, might seem 10 the
passing eye 20 be the familiar Alice va
riety. but is IN reality as far from that
OveTpOpulaT color as coral is from pink.
The whole costume and its wearer make
as complete d picture as the Girl in
Brown" now or exhibition at the Cor
c0ran Art Gallery. which is at present eX-
citing the admiration Of all artistic
Washington.
