is invariably cut in jumper style, low in the neck and sleeveless and worn with a dressy white lace, chiffon or elaborate lingerie guimpe. Sometimes the guimpe is in chiffon or mousse line de soie in a tone exactly matching the rest of the costume. Thus an eX- quisite gray frock seen the other day at an exclusive Fifth Avenue dress makers was of chiffon broadcloth, the waist portion elabOrately slashed and bound with gray satin and trimmed with groups of tiny cut steel buttons. The guimpe was smoke gray chiffon tucked sleeves. At the neck was a very tiny yoke of white lace and high stock of the same material.
 Directoire Evening Frocks.
 The Directoire styles are shown at their very best in evening frocks. A most charming gown of this descrip- tion is of soft cream cOlored satin made with the high waist line of this mode The skirt is in one of the very newest of the sheath styles and has a peplum or double-skir effect simply trimmed with a stitched band of the same material. The top of the gar ment however, is moulded to the fig ure nearly to the knees and the habit back fits without a wrinkle. At the short waist is a draped girdle of the satin but falling over this in the front and reaching nearly to the hem is a drapery of silver spangled net in the new border pattern. This is not full, but put on almost smooth in rounded panel effect The sleeves are elbow length fitted rather closely but slashed up the outside to the shoulder and strapped across with stitched satin.
 New Gloves.
 The woman with a reputation for being always well dressed pays par ticular attention to the details of her costume. Her hat is suitable and be- coming; her foot always well shOd; and her gloves carefully selected as to color and of the best make Obtainable. Especially if she must study economy does she avoid cheap. ill-fitting. ac- cessories that never look right-are prone to grow shabby quickly and prove more costly in the end than a really good article.
 A woman wearing a Perrin" glove is sure that she has the best and saves endless shopping to match her shades, as these gloves are noted for their great range and perfection of color ing.
 Flower T trimmed Hats.
 On dress hats of all sorts flowers are extremely fashionable. Huge roses of nearly every shade under heaven and an anomaly in Horticulture al shades of blue-are extremely popular. A lovely hat of the new scratch felt which looks good deal like the old fashioned beaver. is in a stylish shade of reddish purple called mulberry. The brim is faced with velvet of the same warm tint while the trimming consists of a high wreath effect of huge roses and puffs of maline of a lighter tone Another extremely smart creation is of black satin banded about the rather high crown with a soft scarf effect of old gold tissue while a perfectly enormous rose in shades of yellow and bronze is placed at the left side of the front Another hat is of pale blue satin with a wreath trim ming of soft willow ostrich tips placed rather high on the crown and beneath them some of the new roses made Of pale blue silk and shaded velvet.
 Chrysanthemums are used greatly and so are dahlias. double peoples and almost any large flowers. Velvet or chids are very handsome combined with maiden hair foliage.
