on the same lineT has a bolero of
blue and is embroidered in blue and
gold. and is equally lovely. In fact,
any shade is eminently satisfactory,
and white satin and gold especially
beautiful and regal.
Tight-fitting princess gowns,
draped with tulle tunfcS. are lovely,
and an excellent model is of white
crepe draped with a tunic embroid-
cred in silver threads and heavy
white silk. 1t is lightly caught at
she waist by belt of silver embroid-
cry. Most of the tunics are left open
at the sides. giving an opportunity
for beautiful effects in embroidery.
The separate blouse of soft satin is
a necessity in combination with the
spring coat and skirt suit. Although
the one-piece gown is a general IA
yorite, the separate skirt and coat is
greatly worn. being far too conven-
lent to go out of style materially
The separate blouse should match the
color of the coat and skirt as nearly
as possible, however. for this keeps
the general scheme within the pale
of fashion and gives a more dressy
air to the entire costume
The new trimmings are so unusu-
ally beautiful that it is a pleasure to
not intend to purchase, although few
women can leave the trimming coun-
ter without buying at least collar
length of the dainty material. In
combination with the messalines of
soft tones they are charming and
make such pretty blouses that one
does not regret the passing of the
once popular lingerie waist.
An exceedingly pretty design is a
blouse of pale gray messaline, with
band embroidery in shade of old rose.

and the blouse may be easily made
by using a Gibson shirt waist pattern
as foundation. The plastron is cut
in scallops and decorated with two
fancy silver buttons. Above this is
tucker of embroidery. The yoke
and, cuff pieces are of messaline. The
hat is one of the popular mushroom
shapes and is of old rose straw,
trimmed with a smashing bow of
black satin.
Although most of the blouse mod

manufacturers that the shorter
