The great French mudistcs who set
tic fashions for the entire world have
done their very best for the Americas
girl this season. And when she goes
to Il dance. a ceremOniouS dinner or the
opera she is a dream of loveiness. The
most diaphanous and aauzy materials
arc in vogue. A great deal of spanSlcd
tulle and Gauzc is worn but not Of The
;illo\er variety. 1t has a deep border
of sDan5lcs that is most effective on
the lower edge of he skirt, thus carry
ing out the present craze for bordcrcd
fabrics.
A dress seen at large dance lately
leaders. was Of black tullc. the skirt
made very long with ii slight train in
the pack. It had a deep border of
steel spanglcs at the hem and running
I'D each side of the front nearly to the
waist line. while the low neck was
trimmed with a similar border and
soctcncd with ruflles Of black and white
Chantlly lace.
SOME CHARMING GOWNS.
Very lovely was another toilette seen
at this same dance. 1t was made of
liberty silk in Il beautiful shade Of pale
blue. Around the decolletaGc tho
waist was trimmed with silver lflct en-
broiGered in silk with branches of pal"
pink roses. The skirt was cut in one
of the new clnging styles and had at
the bottom Il broad undulatinS band Of
the embroidered filet.
Another dress was Of white NOUS
salinc dc sole made in princess style
over fitted slip of pale pink tdIfcta
and trimmed on the waist with gar
lands Of tiny roses mad. of chiffon and
velvet.
GORGEOUS EVENING WRAPS.
Never have evening wraps been so
| handsome and shown in such endless
variety as they are this year Loose
coats with japanese sleeves with the
| huge armholeS that slip over the most
ella bOratc gowns without missing them
! in the least are perhaps the first IA
voriteg. Some of these coats are plain
almost in the box style. others arc
| draped from the shoulders in the Greek
fashion. Then there are capes galore
in varied shapes, but all cut very fun
BroadclOth is the preferred material
| heavy satin is also used and 50 is vel
vcit. but snlartest of all for the up-to-
date evening coat is lace. The Innings
of these cloaks are as elaborate as the
| surface.
An imported wrap is finished inside
with accordion pleated chiffon
trimmed on each side of The front will
lace motifs. The outside is of Irisl
lace laid over gold filet. which has. t,
give it body. an intorlining of SAITH
between it and the chiffon.
THE EVENING COIFFURE
With an evening gown this winte1
the hair can be dressed high or low
which ever is the most becoming. Blu

is decidedly the order of the day o

Some charming ornaments have beer
brought out to decorate the heads o
our maids and matrons when they dol
their gala attire. Jeweled aiGrettes
spangled and jetted bows, tiny ostric
feathers, roses with diamond dewdrop
and for young girls Greek fillets of gol
mesh with flowers at either side o
chaplets of tiny roses.
