Evening gowns at the Horse Show
for the most part are nearer TO recep
ton gowns. One of the most SUNNI
tuous of these was Of an old gold
satin inlaid with bands of embroidery
carried from the sides into a point in
the front. The whole gown was made
after the pure princess type and over
this was thrown an outer dress cut low
at the neck with a handsome buckle in
the front, and then cut in such a
manner that the outer gown like to-
ga, flowed behind and away from the
figure resembling some grand court
costume. The outer dress was of rich
satin.
Silk Jersey cloth in evening colors
will be used this fall for the dressiest
occasions. 1t will be found low necked
sleeveless with a gathered skirt Of
chiffon over satin having the joining
covered with a satin drapery. An
overlay of metallic lace or braiding
gives the true Moyenage effect. This
is a pretty severe style but very be-
coming to some figures. Perhaps
chiffon and messaline are the two
most popular fabrics used for evening
gowns. Crepe meteor is also one Of
the much used materials, especially
for the wedding gown.
With the beginning or the season
right at hand the consideration of the
dinner and reception and evening
gowns are receiving a great deal of at
tention. One of the most Fashionable
of the modistes told me that black
evening gowns will be worn, not only
for evening dinner gowns, but for the
theater and for balls, the only differ
ence being in the materials worn
Great attention will also be given to
the difference Of cut and fit for indf-
viGual figures.
Surplice folds are so universally
becoming that they will be worn with
the most handsome gowns.
If the home dressmaker is good at
fitting and draping the skirt she may
find many aids in the shops for her
art as there are to be found the cur
asses, yokes, boleroes, girdles and over
bodices that almost finish the gown
without any further work. Sleeves
are another point in the gown that
make a deal of difference in it's good
effect and these are now mostly mad
Up of tier on tier of pieces Of EN-
broidery and bands of net or any sucn
which the home sewer
can easily put together, having sub
scribed in shape to the Fashionable
modes.
Scarfs are just as popular as ever
because probably of their great use
'ulness and by their use the effect OF
new gown. Many of them for the VIII
