sign showing chArmingly through the
cloudy yeilings. Bands of the open
work embroidery trim silk, marquiset-
te, chiffon, linen. tulle, and every ma
terial, and it is combined with the fin
est and the heaviest of laces.
Short coats are formed of lace, as
Well as of embroidery. though the
lace is more often used in combina-
ton with embroidery than alone, and
the coat, entirely of lace, seldom has
the cachet Of the little silk coat Big
collars of lace or embroidered mus
lin almost hide some ofthe little silk
coats. A short taffeta costume. with
a coat of the taffeta, bordered in
bouiilonees and sporting a big fichu
of flat, overlapping pointed edge and
embroidered muslin flouncees had a
tunic of the taffeta over and under
skirt of the overlapping embroidery
flounces
The very short bolerolike coat,
belted just belo wthe bust line and
with little frill falling below the CIR
die. was introduced among the first of
the short coats and is still lgreaty lik-
ed. The girdling and betting of coats
of all kinds is noticeable in. the late
summer modes and produces some
odd effects as well as some very de-
lightful results. With the lowering OF
the modish waist line this girdled ar
rangement naturally assumes a Rus
sian blouse character, and this has
given rise to a rumor that the Russian
blouse will be here again in the au-
tumn. At all events, belted coats Of
one kind or another are fairly sure to
find a place among fall modes.
Directoire coats cut squarely away
at the high waist line in front and
falling in a long, straight panel or
coat tail in the back are made up
without trimming other than big soft
ifchus of fine muslin or net bordered
by tiny frills and frills of the same
sheer material finishing the half
length sleeves.
Black and white are still greatly
worn in spite of the cutlery about their
over-popularity, and the frocks in this
coloring are often the prettiest seen
at smart functions. There has been a
fad for sheer white over black as a
change from the long admired sheer
black over white. and several of the
great dressmakers have laid consider
able stress upon this arrangement.
Practically all lingerie now is built
on the simplest lines, SO that the mar
row lines of the frock may not be in
terfered with, and many dressmakers
advise corsets that lace in front be-
cause of the narrowness and plainness
of skirts at the back. Many women,
however, dislike the front-lacing cor.
sets. New corsets are very low at the
top, to give a low-busted figur, but at
the lower edge material is built down
to keep the hips in subsection.
The very newest notion in lingerie
is the nightgown embroidered in col
or, and some of these little gowns are
exceedingly dainty. The ribbon, run
through the embroidered eyelets, of
course, matches the embroidery in
tints A pretty little Frenhc robe de
mutt seen the other day had a yoke
and dimunitive sleeves of pink null,
scalloped and embroidered by hand,
the scallops being laced together
down the arm with pink ribbons run
through eyelets. Yoke and nainsook
gown were joined under a beading
also run with pink ribbon. In the skirt
of the gown were set two bands of the
pink null between entire deux Of lace.
The fichu and the jabot continue
