Among the novelties in the way of
trimmings are heavy. laces applioued
on tulle or net, which are charming

place of the always linen
and batiste waists.
Many charming little coates are

Great square and round buttons. al

broidered by the dress makers and
used with effect.
Soft silks are once more proclaimed
the ideal material for gowns for after
noon home wear and for visiting. An
exquisite model ] saw recently was OF

softest and most supple kind of chiffon
tafeta rendered doubly attractive by
the silvery sheen of the surface. giving
almost a shot effect. It was made most
simply. with a clinging, very long
skirt. trimmed with two inch band OF
chiffon velvet In a darker shade Of
green, around the hem. This decora-
ton found an echo in the waistband,
which ran up in the back in empire

gave finishing touch TO the high col

are generally finished with pleatings
OF silk, tulle or Valenciennes which
latter is most becoming.
When the weather grows warmer
we shall see no end of tussore tailor
costumes in every imaginable color.
Cloth. by the way, will be employed
only as a trimming on the tussores, as
well as on linen and even thinner ma
terials
TUNES skillfufly cut continue TO vary
the monotony Of the plain skirts.
Waisfband and corselet are draped
higher than ever. All the new colors
are clear and gay and most charming
effects are produced in thin materials
by the blending OF several contrasting
shades.
