coat often carries out a dress effect
Some are made on jumper style will
a guimpe and sleeves in lace or tucked
net that match. The coat for this cos
tune is nearly always a very dressA
affair with a fancy front, beautiful
collar and cuffs and the two last may
be laid over with lace and embroid-
cred sets that add much to its style
Braid they say will not be so much
used, but fine decorations made OF
satin pipings will be employed otter
instead, and buttons, which should il
anything be passed are still much
used
The handsome garnitures needed t6
complete the moyenage gown brings
it best among the evening designs, OIL
those needed for very formal occasions
Most of these gowns are made with
plated skirts or those fuller than skirts
worn last winter, and the bodice is
elaborate in treatment; but the por-
ton that follows the hip-line is truly
of the most decorative order for which
beaded nets, embroidered lace and jet
trimmings are used in profusion, this
idea being particularly effective for
the evening dress. Also suited for great
ornamentation is the gown with long
flowing tunic and overdrapery, and
when of lace or beautiful chiffon ma
terials the result is very charming.
There is a slight tendency towards
the pointed waist again which will, il
successful. resurrect the old boned
waist. In contrast to these waists
there is the gown from the shoulder
that may be worn loosely and the one
that follows the curves Of the figure
all of which ideas should be studied
for the figures sake.
Paris has quite lost it's heart to
the dainty wraps of today which are
made either in true military style or
with folds.
Silk voiles promise to be extremely
popular this winter for the evening as
well as the dressy afternoon costume,
while for handsome street frocks the
silk serges and diagonals are to be seen
in profusion. The voiles, and indeed
all thin sheer materials which must be
made up over a contrasting founda-
ton, which means chiffon taffetas, are
to the fore again; peau de cygne also
is a favored lining and new material
is the servi-s silk. a satin faced lining
light in weight, of strong texture and
half lustrous.
For early fall are to be found pop
Ions, pongees. rapahs foulards and
chiffon clothes, silk cashmeres with
colors that are light in shade. The
greys are much liked except tauep,
which is rather passe at present;
chocolate shades, blues and dahlias
are used. Wistaria is seldom seen
now, but the natural tints and the
metal shades which have come in with
the moyenage effects are popular. In
digo blues and the olive green's are
used and black as a whole fabric or as
n wi, irc &c RI
reds are promised to use for early au-
tumn street frocks and for house
gowns later on.
For business girls who must econ
omize suit that will prove of great
value has a princess skirt in blue serge
Cor in black) with it's high waist line
modified under a shaped and BRAIDED
girdle. A coat in three quarter length
velvet collar and cuffs will be worn
with it and a strictly tailored shirt
waist with prime little bow and linen
sock A second coat or jacket is pro-
vided and with a fancy or embroidered
batiste waist with lace neck finish
and jabot, >one could make many
changes. Two hate could be provided
two pairs of gloves suitable to the
changes. shoes and those extra little
accessories that point to the occasion
for which they are worn. In case the
gown is in color the extra coat should
be black or broche silk. The coat should
be shorter and jauntier and dressier
in every way. For the visit away this
would be a good costume to take
which with a dainty afternoon and an
evening gown will be quite sufficient
The newest lace waists are made of
net on which are appliqued motifs Of
lace in pattern. This is called build
ng the lace.
