All kinds of trimming are to be worn, there are many varieties and great amounts will be used. They will be laid on fiat as with folds. braids, fringes; Or they will be set in as with motifs embroideries, 'appliques; there will be headings, tassels and buckles. Fine soutache still remains a favorite, silver and gold thread will be used to further decorate these trimmings. Filet is by far the most fashionable lace Prin-

 The princess model is still used, but with certain notifications; the hips are not accentuated as formerly, and the straight line from the should CTS brings beauty of line and graceful sweep both front and back. The Empire gown has waist line that is indicated but slightly and about one inch higher than the real line. The girdles of all dresses are shaped and sloped so that a certain effect is re- tained when the figure is kept intact with long lines running from shoul- der to toe.
 A gown that was to be used for all afternoon reception was of lavender chiffon taffeta in combination with embroidered bateste. The skirt con- sisted of seven gores that had a tuck lat the back edge of each and also one in the center except the front, which has one at each side of the center, thus preserving the regularity of the |spaces. These tucks converge toward the belt but flare gradually from the top and are stitched about half way down The bodice is tucked in duch- ess style, those in the back extending to the waistline. The waist is mount ed on silk lining. The front is open to the waistline showing a V shaped chemisette of tucked chiffon and edged with the long ends of a shawl collar of embroidered batiste The bodice is collarless, vertical tucks in duchess style are made in the sleeves which are crossed at the elbow by bands of the batiste below which fall frills of chiffon. A shaped girdle of alternating bands of the taffeta and batiste affords waist completion.
