the train Of the satin skirt with its
three rows OF quiilings at intervals
apart further bIlowing the fullness Of
the satin. The sleeve is pulled above

over this gown is worn a directoire
coat OF blue silk, with shoulder straps
cut IN one piece with the upper front

for a few inches, crosses the middle OF
the sleeve and buttons there In the
same fashion as the front pieces are
fastened. Any dainty method Of adding
a bit OF the coat material 10 the dress
sleeve OF lace is admissible.
Naturally the princess style OF dress i
best adapted 10 showing the new wasp
waist. and this is further accentuated
BY the fullness and, usually, locseness OF
the b0larO Jacket, Empire waist or dFap-
cries across the upper portion OF the
gown.
Figure c illustrates a very slim waited
gown in princess, cut with a decided
Empire effect, given II by the short
WASTED back OF the bolero Jacket. which
IS merged into the closely lifted panel
front of the princess, that extends IN an
unbroken line from neck to hem
A yoke OF transparent lace in very
fancy design is trimmed around the top
and bottom OF the stock with folds OF
satin. Across its l0Uer portion is 8
richly en- broidered band worked IN bead
and tinsel embroidery. The satin gown
is cut with a round, low neck bOrdeFed
with a fold A similar fold is buttOned
down the front. The sides and back Of
the bodice section are cut IN bolero fash
ion and hang loose over the top OF the
princess skirt. The gown Is embroid-
cred IN tiny beads, tinsel SILK around the
tor OF the front and entirely over the
shoulders and packet portion. The lat

carried out in narrow satin folds in a
Greek pattern, with a narrow panel eff
feet al the bottom.
The jacket Is edged with a similar
fold Should this gown be made OF
wool or velvet the embroidery would be
lovely in wool-the latest thing in dress
embroidery for cloth and velvet. Braid
ed designs worked out IN sOutache are
also much In vogue for heavier ma
terlals, and so popular is soutache en-
broidery that one sees elegant robes Of
chiffon and sheer silk profusely en-
brOidered with soutache braid seWed on
edgeWays instead OF fiat. which gives a
very raised and peculiarly attractive
embroidery effect.
The sleeve OF this wasp-waisted gown
is made with two curved folds, like caps,
over a small puff The upper fold is
embroidered and the lower one Is plain.
This hangs upon a lace sleeve with a
narrow band Cuff OF bead embroidery
above the elbow.
The top OF the skirt is fitted closely,
and one can imagine just how tiny soft
satin closely fitted can make a waist
/ look. especially when a bolerO Jacket

/ the knees a very wide gallOOn OF lace
and embroidery LENDS a delicate touch
