Some of the new gauzes are striped
with velvet and a distinct novelty is
Indian muslin with cross-bar lines in
velvet and in SATIN
1t is quite certain that stripes can
be made to make the figure look
slender if they are properly manipu-
lated, but they demand master hand
at all times and no woman who
weighs more than seven stone should
dream Of adopting them in any but a
perpendicular position.
Something embroidered is the or
der with every well-dressed woman,
for nothing seemingly is complete
without this adornment, and thus
| fashions seem to insist on the in
crease of hand labor and a compara-
tive contempt for the assistance of the
sewing machine. The latest thing in
fanciful embroidery devices is our old
| friend the bugle. This in crystal or in
| jet was seen recently in most success
! full combination with beads of silver
following a lace design upon a net

Que of the fancies of the moment
is to be very long on the shoulders,
and many of the loose bodices which
| overhang the belt in blouse fashion
| show wide armholes reminiscent of
| the Chinese outline, with loose sleeves
coming through these, overhanging
| some tight white lace sleeves which
| fit to the wrist. 1t is rather difficult
| to describe this wide armhole, but it
extends over the shoulder right into
| the waist, giving a dropping effect to
the figure in a manner becoming alike
| TO the stout and the SLIM A good
| specimen l have met of this type of
| dress was made of black satin ninon,
| with the skirt striped from waist to
hem with machine-stitched bands of
black velvet ribbon, the trimming on
| the bodice following this idea, while
at the neck small V-shaped piece of
ivory lace mounted over chiffon was
| justified by the under-sleeves to
match, which appeared beneath the
loose ninon sleeves.
Again, have found the same sort
| of bodice with the top half made of
white cloth embroidered in silk, the
bottom portion being of satin, while
the vest was of transparent ivory lace,
and the skirt, which was cut on the
cross, had broad pointed pieces OF
white satin put in as exaggerated gus.

| Talking of skirts reminds me that
some of the new models are made in
kits all round the back with the
front almost plain, trimmed with two
bands of embroidery, and this is quite
a good style of skirt if you need one
which is to touch the ground, but il
you are in favor of very short skirt
then would I only recommend to your
notice the fatty stitched killed or box
plated skirt, or the tightly fitting
skirt which is cut on the cross.
Among other extremely pretty full
skirts destined to play their part al
a dance, I would applaud one made OF
