ordered Satin, always a satisfactory
material, is worn in summer, the soft
est, most graceful quality. The close
fitting princess style, with the tunic of
net, lace or tulle, with embroidery, is not
extremely new, but it is generally be-
coming, and there are many new designs
and patterns for the tunic, so that the
/ fashion is still popular. Another of the
winter fashions that are again popular is
the skirt of satin with the upper part of
/ the waist % chiffon, either over a con-
| trasting color of lace and with sleeves
| of the same.
| This is a smart model and most practi-
cal, made in black liberty satin, with train
skirt, the folds either caught together at
the side or back with full rosette, or with
the double skirted effect, the upper skirt
pointed in front and made high at the
waist line but in draped folds not mere
ly the high skirted effect The white
lace or colored chiffon, the black yoile de
sole, plain or embroidered in jet, crystal
rhinestOnes, gold or silver or merely with
an edge of the embroidery, is almost
invariably becoming and effective, while
II a more startling and conspicuous effect
is desired the pale pink or cream white
chiffon in soft folds is draped over the
shoulders, having kimonolike sleeves. An
expensive cream lace over pale pink is
also fashionable, but while startlingly
effective it does not meet with so enthusi-
astic and universal approval with the
plain black and seems better suited to
figured brocade in the light colorings.
Attractive Color Schemes. !
Fascinatingly dainty and most attrac-
tive are the chiffon, wolfe de sole and
muslin gowns made of the plain mate
rails with fancy borders. The double
skirt style can easily be carried out in
these fabrics, while the waist needs no
other trimming than is given by the bOr-
der Again, there is a chance to work
out most fascinating color schemes, for in
blue ground with a border of pink
will show the faintest CLINT of pink
through the blue and give that trans
parent, cloudlike appearance that is one
of the fashions of this season. And the
fashion is practical also, for an old white
lining can be utilized by yelling it in mex
pensive mousseline de sole over which is
put the chiffon or voile de sole of another
color, the mousseline de sole used to veil
the white underskirt costing far less than
would a new silk or satin lining, and in
lust these small details can the cost of a
gown be kept within possible limits.
An excellent investment in the way of
evening gowns for the summer is the
pleated chiffon and lace in color, black
or white. Only the body of the waist is
lined, and with a chiffon or batiste lining,
but the gown is worn over a princess slip
of liberty satin. With different slips an
entirely different effect is obtained, and
one gown will do duty for several. The
entire deux of lace is lighter and shows
better the color of the lining than the
bands of satin or velvet which are on
some of the latest models, but both are
in fashion and the choice can be governed
by personal taste. Belts and girdles are
of much Importance. For the newest
evening gowns the soft folded silk or
satin belt, finished with fiat double bow
knot, is decidedly new, and there can be
q jewelled buckle.
