Gus popularity. But Chinese effects
reign instead of Japanese ones.
The other morning at Parquin's | saw
an example of this style that was i'm
mediately arrestive to the eye by reason
of its novelty and very great beauty.
| 1t was a high-waisted dress of cling
ing anemone mauve crepe de sole, with
a folded corsage, the fullness of which
4 was tucked into a high waist belt,
made. oddly enough, of gray kid, quite
a new and most effective touch in this
application.
Into the draperies of the bodice were
| inserted plaques of the blue Chinese
embroidery, just a sufficiency of fresh
/ color scheme to enhance the functions
of the rest of the toilette.
Another verw distinctive style is
/ Paisley shawl frock so quaint and old
world in it's cOloring and fabric. 1t is
material closely covered with a small
damask-like pattern in brick red, bor-
dered with the famous pear-shaped de-
vice in many shades of LEAKAGE green.
! Five shawl squares form a single
| dress.
l notice an inclination on the part of
| the most exclusive to reinstate in its
former position the Indian cashmere
scarf, without which the wardrobes of
the wealthiest women in the middle of
/
poorly equipped.
| 1t is interesting to note the high re-
pute in which the old classical vogues
are held today. The tunic and the pep
lum are regarded by the best modistes
as most desirable dressmaking schemes.
Beautiful exceedingly are the delicate
| traceries of silver, gold and silk ap-
| piled to the most costly evening robes
| of this season which are cut en- unique
and are maze of crepe de Sole The
Greek key pattern and many variations
of the same mode are employed for
decorative devices. and the jewelers.
are entering into the spirit of the pc
riOd. inasmuch as the diadems and the
crowns that they are selling are very
classical in design.
One of the most becoming have seen
! for long time is a tiara made of dia-
mOnds in outstanding SPIKES. encircling
| cameo plaques that show Greek god
esses on a background of blue enamel
/ saw it worn by a belle whose hair
| was dressed in the new Roman braids
and wound about the head with almost
| severe simplicity.
Skirts are inclined to less fullness at
the bottom and to cling more narrowly
to the figure than for some months.
| This year one of the unwritten laws
/ of fashion is that a special parasOl in
colors to match the dress and hat must
be designed for the toilette, and that
the old idea of becoming possessed of a
white or red sunshade which is de-
stined TO duty on every occasion is no
longer permissible where the we'll
dressed woman is concerned. A COM
promise has, however. been made to
/ economy in the case of the cretonne
Parasol which accords admirably with
many of the new gowns of Powered
muslin or chiffon, and which is lightly
yelled with drawn ivory net to give a
softneSs and illusion to the scheme In
some instances the cretOnne parasOl
can hardly be distinguished from bro
cade, especially when ii is worked over
in thick floss silk and finished all round
with a frill of lace.
Another modistic law which appears
10 be quite as binding as that of the
4 parasol ordains that the boa accom-
panying the gown must match it in
i color or follow out some feature of the
toilette. SAKE blue is still enc of the
favorite colors the blue shading to a
soft cloudy gray while Malmaison pink
and brown continue to carry all before
them in the realm of the feather boa
II is good news to the woman of mod
crate means to hear that the tulle ruff
fe with ribbon streamers is still as
popular as ever, and white tulie with a
black pin spot and edged with black
velvet ribbon represents a charming
scheme to accompany black gowns.
The prettiest of the new couture or
naments are undoul teddy the mock
peacock's feathers. dyed in pearl-gray
/ and white and biscuit color and white
the eye of the feather being composed
of tiny maSsed sequins shading from
deep peacock blue to pale turquoise or
| from purple to lilac. Frequently these
feathers are actually designed to match
/ the gown which they are to accom-
1 pan-, being varied to suit the taste of
| the wearer, while a tiny rosette with a
! jeweled center holds them in place
among the soft curls of the couture
Bunches of dyed clipped vultures' fea-
theirs are used to a great extent as
COiffure ornaments, the somewhat I'M
compromising stiffness of these being
scftened by means of the lovely shades
in which they are designed. little cir
! cular decoration in the form of a coiled
snake giving the Finishing touch.
| For the woman past her first youth
nothing is handsOmer or more effective
than the dinner gown of the lizard
green net which is ain. ost entirely hid
den under a floral design of decoupe
black velvet, edged all round with black
| beads.
Some very daring innovations have
been seen of late in Paris, some of the
most original being the little short
/ coats of embroidered China silk which
are intended to be worn as ar accom-
| paniment 10 skirts of white lawn. In
white silk nothing is more charming,
\ the small. vetements being cut almost
| in the style of a short neglieee. full
round the bottom, adorned with MANY
narrow tucks, and reaching barely to
| the waist, while the sleeves are of the
modified kimono type. A charming
Tote is struck with regard to the lin
/ ings, and these are carried out in the
palest opalescent tintS oyster pink
shot with some stone color, gray with
/ Lavender, and .wo shades of yellow be-
| ing most in request.
| In black fine silk these coats repre-
sent a distinct modistic success They
are worn over blouses of white lace and
skirts of black mousseline de sole, the
hem consisting of a broad band of
black silk braid. the same decoration
being repeated on the skirt, while a
charming effect is gained by drawing
the coat together at the collar by
means of thick silk cord finished with
| heavy silk tassels.

unabated, and mammoth buttons of cut
