exploited instead of the frock color, and
then the effect is even better. Plaid
piping, too, comes in for quite some share
of attention, and most elaborate effects
are gained by covering thick featherbone
cords with the silk wooden goods cut
on the bias and then twisted into fanci-
full shapes for trimming purposes.
A New York speciality shop that caters
largely to girls schools is making up
quite number of jumper frocks in lands
downe of dainty coorings. On those there
is good deal of real cluny and real
maltese lace used. the jumper top, the
armsize and the front panel of the skirt
being trimmed with the real lace. The
yoke and undersleeves too, are likely
to be of lace with a chiffon lining. should
the little frock be donned for afternoon
or evening use at school; while for morn
ings there are embroidered linen
guimpes-just the same style and cut as
the little siX-year-old tot of the nursery
wears-that will go through the tear and
stress of the laundry times without num-
Der and look all the better for it each
time.
Another fad or fashion-call 1t what
you willis the making of one coat to
two skirts. For instance, one of those
dark green and navy blue plaids is chosen
for shirtwaist suit, and to this there
is dark green broadcloth coat and a
dark green or navy blue skirt as well,
both coat and skirt having n touch of
combination in the trimming of the bias
plaid mohair that forms the shirtwaist
suit. In this manner there are really
two or three combinations possible, a
plan that makes for economy of both
clothes and space for wardrobe purposes.
Where an inexpensive silk is liked there
are the ever-present foulards The late
productions in these are simply charming,
and bordered goods, while expensive. are
selling like the proyerbial hot cakes.
Colleen poplins, while somewhat more
costly, find a due need of appreciation,
since their wearing qualities are far
ahead of any other silk weave in the
catalogue just now. Princesse gowns are
fashioned of this latter silk. to which the
popular Irish crochet makes most de-
llghtful appropriate trimming The fact
that, In spite of its goodly wearing quail
ties, it is a soft and pliable silk, makes

rooms: and tucks. soft folds, tiny pleat-
lngs and ruchings are easily handled in
this modish fabric
SILK of chiffon thickness-that is, of no
apprecnble thickness at all-are far and
away the most modish for evening wear.
They do form n striking contrast to the
chiffon velyets that we have had with us
for formal toilettes for SO long, and they
are all the moro welcome IN that they
offer such n direct contradiction to their
predecessors in this line.

This season it is not so much what ma

fabrics of all sorts and styles and col
ors until the aye Is bewildered with the
complexity presented.

famous houses of France are arriving,
and If Is delightful to note the smart
simplicity that adheres to even the most
expensive OF those foreign creations.
While the shirtwast suit and the jumper
frock are both of them American inyen-
tons having their origin, their launch
ing and their vogue almost entirely on
this side of the Atlantic, the best max
ers abroad have not been slow 10 take
the hint and are now sending us over
models of our own invention-but IN
a glorifed design, of course.
FOR school girl wear the speciality shops
are showing extremely attractive niue
frocks of the jumper order done In

thing between a henrietta and broad

to be seryiceabe for school use. That

plaids are highly popular as well. In
soft raspberry, rosewood and copper
tints those silky materials are at their
most attractive best, and when piped-
as most of them are-with tiny edges of

little dress can be made to take on quite
an air of elaboration.
And this matter OF pipings Is quite
worthy of consideration. They add but
little to the labor on gown. but they
do add quite tremendously to the result
No matter what the body color OF the
gown may be. there is quite fancy for
using black piping. then narrow border
of white, and then the color that either
matches or contrasts best with the funda-
