concerned The vivid blue green of the
original color has however been waived
in favor of shades more suited to even
ing wear, the latest development be7
ing that in which the stem and lower
feathery fronds are carried out in soft
shades of mauve or mandarin yellow,
the EYE" being worked in gold and
pale green. This embroidery is worked
on satin to match, bands of which are
wrought round the hem of the wrap
and form the bands of a deep vandyked
yoke or the more fashionable japanese
roll collar.
Some of the daintiest of the new ruff
fles are those which are carried out in
black tulle made very wide so as to
spread out round the neck, and COW
cred with a close network of narrow
black bebe velvet ribbon. Long
streamers of broad bands of broad
black velvet ribbon form the ends, or
as an alternative stoles of black tulle
reaching almost to the knees are
drawn to point and finished with i'm
mense tassels of jet and black beads
For young girls one of the prettiest
ruffles is that which is made of green
tulle illusion hemmed with narrow
white velvet ribbon or finished with
white flake ''pois'' of chenille, while a
cluster of cherries in white silk with
white velvet leaves tucked into the
meshes of the tulle on either side has
charmingly youthful effect
The craze for inventing startling and
gorgeous effects and yelling them again
discreetly with net or tulle is very
characteristic of the Frenchwoman
and for evening wear some very pretty
effects are gained thereby. One of the
most popular schemes consists of a
foundation of soft ivory satin yelled
with a transparency of mousselne de
sole worked all over in a design of Chi
nese roses in JET, silver and crystal
beads, which are covered with a light
yelling of the finest black tulle illusion,
! the CLEAN of the embroideries under
meath producing a softened effect.
The little bOlero that has been with
US for so many years has certainly

IT is not made at all. The costume riost
a la mode at present is that of the long
jacket effect-a kind Of short-waisted

and waist. The effect is negligee Fath-

with all its blousiness is pretty apt to
lapse into autumn modes. On a slim
woman of graceful ensemble the long
Jacket is very smart, but the woman
of decided avoirdupois had better have
her jacket. cut to the lines of her figure
Every one is ordering black and
white striped damage for morning cos

about pockets and sleeves, but the very
light stripes have white braid. Skirts
to these suits are quite plain. Parisians
wear them long for they have not come
to the American way of thinking that
a suit for steady wear should be use
full and comfortable. Theirs trail slight

son are not widely different in cut and

lor-mades they are not trimmer, ex-
cept perhaps with q row of braid or a
bias fold or two of the goods.
Bias effects are seen everywhere
Some are such mixtures that suits look
as though they were made of scraps
All elegance is lost in the over deco
ration. For instance in a plated
skirt seen few days ago the plaits in
front were made on the straight while
those on the side were bias and pieces
of the goods on the cross were placed

some. Jackets sometimes use this
same mode. and the ensemble is even
worse.
Pretty wraps of flet worked in coarse
embroidery and made a la Japonaise
are being made for cool days in sum-
mer. Some of the best are of that in
definable shade known as ripe wheat
1t has been quite fashionable the past
fortnight, and is perhaps the last small
tone that will be LAUGHED this season
The shade is a dark biscuit and in filet

tiny, coming only to the waist line 1t
appears to be all sleeves for there is
no shoulder seams, even in the lining.
Taneta garments of the same model
are being ordered, and when one does
not wish to use embroidery a plating
or tucking of the taffeta is used and
the result is good. All the newest
wraps for theatre are small They are
the reverse of heavy in effect, and a
good deal of lace is in vogue for them.
For evening nothing is prettier with
filet lace than cloth. With this mesh

white and the embroidery of many
delicate tones the ensemble is most
beautiful. A great majority of the
sleeves are cut from shoulder down

Hats show little change and il il not
