corations in bands. t~assels, pendants,
corsage pieces, boleros, collars and
wat not too numerous to mention.
L-aces of all kinds, lovely in them
selves, are further beautifed by EN-
broidery and insets of colored stones
and headings. These pieces over
which many work for hours and days,
now come in set pieces, all ready to
be inserted in Or on the gown without
further trouble
One noticeable favorite among this
great array are n jet decorations,
and not only are they worn on black
gowns but are used to give ton to
The brilliant and often crude colors
now so fashionable; indeed there are
some colOrS today that positively nee
the aid of another shade or color to
keep them within artistic limits.
A gown, jet trimmed, exhibited the
other day. was in the height of ele-
gance. Developed from a dull crepe
nIeie0 ii fell straight from the
shoulders with tiny tucks about the
wais- sweeping straight and full into
the train. A narrow girdle of jet set
rather high up merged into a panel
Of jetted net which came to within
eighteen inches of the floor. there di-
vided into two portions that were car
ried round the tunic that fell over the
sleeves and drawn under a huge star
like flower set in the centre with cut
ret and rhinestones.
Another gown that was less of the
Empire n more of the Moyen Age
was developed for wear at the thea
tire The under gown of yellowish
champagne was strictly in a prin-
cess and hung yer this was n cut
rass of latticed silk cord studded with
fDr fn1lfn0 frnD, tn hut Inc nxrA- ran
shoulders a bit and down TO the knees
above this at the top was a fold of
satin seemingly held by cut jet cab
ochcns which gave the Empire effect,
and within this was a fine cream en-
broidered lace yoke-truly a combi-
nation of three modes.
This combining of many modes Is
especially noticeable in the seasons
gowns. The fish wife gown and the
Moyen Age. the Empire waist VITA
princess, the combination of any two
or more features that give individu-
ality and produce an original ostume
are in demand.
For evening wear white satin will
be extremely popular and crystal
trimmings in this case will take the
place of jet seen on the black gown.
\ beautiful opera gown of white sat
in, the skirt of which was laid in tu-
IliC loluS HnlSneu WITH WDlIe fringe,
dad a bodice compounded of cross
wise folds, overlaid in bolero effect
with mauve velvet, and was almost
completely covered with a crystal de-
sign. The buttons of the elbow sleev-
es of the mauve velvet were finished
with a cuff of the crystal. This crys-
tai trim mings was set with rhineston- |
es, small corals and turquoise, Civ
ing a most sumptuous effect. With
he costume were worn a pearl neck
lace and hair
In spite of the fact that we have
such "a deluge of beautiful colored ev-
ening materials, white satin or the
satin-faced materials will be worn
frequently during the season, and it
may b. kept in its all white entirety |
or it may be decorated with other col
ors found in its trimmings.
The gown that has seen it's best
days nay often be quite transformed
by the application of new trimmings.
The waist may be re-draped with soft
folds o. net, caught with jet or stones
n tie front of the gown may be re-
newsi by the addition of a jetted
front or a new panel of net, jet spang-
led.
From the sixties has come the in
heritarce of silver or cut steel COM
bined with jet, which is most popu-
ldT tulS ScdSOu anu especially HkeQ |
for trimming black gowns of Chiffon, |
crepe. wolfe. ETC., and which, with a
slight touch of color, make most eff
fective gowns for afternoon wear.
Some of these trimmings themselves
supply the color requisites, such as
emerald stones, coral or turquoise. /
A beautiful garniture used for button
ing the yoke was decorated by an in
definite Greek key pattern in yellow
crystals, which resembled topaz and
here and there were imitation anne
thysts, a combination that relieved
a crepe de chine 1t
was used with.
The Moyen Age skirt is an extreme
ly sensible AND becoming style as
as a fashionable one, and liz liked
better with the shirtwaist than the
regular Moyen Age bodice.
There Is something OF a return to
sldrtwaist suit in soma OF the
sem~i-princess gowns which are at
and most useful for once
