SOME PRETTY SKIRT EFFECTS.
Buttons and Braid Much Used, Either
Together or sinely.

There are some very pretty skirt
effects. in skirts outlined with but
IONS and braid. though either can be
used alone. The effect of the tunic
is always heightened by a border OF
velvet or sontache buttons. and Pa
quin glorifes a model in white satin
faced cloth by a trimming of dark
amethyst velvet pastilles. The tunic
Is square front and black. reaching al
most 10 the ground and slashed up
the sides almost to the hips. Il
shows an underskirt OF softcst crepe
de chine with a hem of panne velvet
and all around the tunic are small
velvet pasulles. those down the sides
being twice as large as the ones
around the bottom.
Border effects End their highest ex-
preston in the tunic. and nothing is
more elegant than a tunic Of cloth or
velvet bordered with heavy cIuny or
coarse net embroidered with silk and
gold or silver threads.

Loose draperies are especially help

a woman OF taste will select with
greatest care her silk petticoats, for
often they are really the foundation for
the sheer gown. But even If not for
this purpose alone. there is some.
thing truly pleasing in knowing that
every garment is the prettiest and
daintiest Perhaps there are no ar.
ticles Of dress so beautifully trimmed
as the petticoat. unless, perhaps, il is
something found among the dressing
robes. The finest petticoats are Of
silk, satin. chiffon and crepe de chine
with trimmings of everything pretty

fiounces are seen on silk foundations.

trimmed with numerous chiffon ruff
fies, decorated with fine valenciennes
lace and insertion. A pretty blue
silk petticoat is trimmed with triple
ruffies of lace and handsome inser-
ton. Skirts Of this kind are usually
worn with a lingerie gown.

NEW WEDDING VEIL
LATEST FASHION CHANGE IN
BRIDAL COSTUME.
"coronet" Idea Has Proved Very
Popular-Arrangement That Adds
Height to the Wesrer-5etter
Than Old Style.

One Of the latest fashion changes is
seen in the arrangement of the we'd
ding veil to make II a distinctly be-
coming feature OF the bridal costume.
Heretofore wells have been worn in
rather a set style simply because It
was the way they had been adjusted
Tor years. But the new corOnet veil
is proving a great success with almost
every type OF bride The idea OF the
arrangement is to give height 10 the
wearer. The soft outstanding puffs Of
tulle add two or three inches 20 the
brides stature. and they also impart
an added amount Of dignity 10 her
orange-crowned head
Tulle is used for these wells as Il is
much softer than lace and much more
becoming than heavier meshes. unless
the lace happens 10 be ivory tinted
with age. Besides. tulle is far more
easily draped than heavy lace. First
the veil is put on over the head in the
usual way. then the front ends are
caught in a series Of outstanding pufs
that encircle the front Of the head.
These are confined to the hair by a
small wreath OF orange blossoms worn
like coronet The traditional low
ers do not dominate the head dress
but form a delicate finish as they lie
half shrouded in pulls OF tuile

coming from al points of view, a thing

Some New Neck Ornaments.

Among the really useful trinkets
may be counted the flexible metal sup
ports for collars. The newest OF these
are shown set with diamonds or sap
phires In this form they make a de
cidediy satisfactory substitute for
other materials. There is nothing
more becoming TO a woman than a
simple ribbon or b2nd OF black velvet
around the throat. and these ribbons
are now decorated with jewels, span
giles and tiny beads. Seed pearls on
velvet are lovely and for older women
steel beads and paste on black are
most Appropriate.

Silk or Figured Challis the
Best Material to Use.

As a rule matinees and breakfast
jackets are difficult to copy. They
have few lines TO follow, it must be
confessed. but their very shapeless-
ness is rendered artistic only by the
skill Of a professional. In the &C
companying sketch is shown a charm

which is the essence Of simplicity and
so easy to put together that il ought
to prove temptation TO every woman
to try to fashion one like it.
The material used may be OF silk
or figured challis.. The one illustrated
was made of white challis, with large
delicate pink roses scattered over it
and stripes OF pale blue forming a
sort of trellis for the flowers. About
four or four and a half yards are
needed for an average size matinee
made in this style. The back is in
two pieces, with bias seam down the
center; the front is in two, while each
sleeve is in one piece. To make the
matinee. cut a piece of the material

COULD NOT WEAR TIE HAT.
French Actress Victim OF London Res
tsurant Etiquette.


Some OF the French ladies do not
understand at al The prohibition in
London on what they consider dinner
dress. There is one little French
actress now playing in London who. as
one of her first experiences in the
British capital. was taken out to sup.
per. and TO do honor TO the occasion,
put on her largest and most gorgeous
hat. Her escort looked at it doubt
fully, bat hoped for the best. She
was stopped at the sacred portals Of a
restaurant. and was asked 20 remove
her hat
What this means to a lady only
those can tell who have been 70 matt
nees and have seen the display OF
temper when whole row of ladies in
the stalls have been told that the peo-
pie behind can not see the stage. The
little actress made a gallant attempt
to be allowed TO retain her headgear.
She announced 10 the polite gentle
man at the door that she was a Mo
hammedan. and offered to take of her
shoes If only she were allowed to re-
tain her hat The mighty hat, how
ever. had TO be removed.
