soft and artistic effect. Pompadour
roses OF grsyish pinks and blush yell
lows are used to trim the hlmy gowns
and one gown OF this cloudy style seen
the other night at the theatre was OF
gray mouHseline over a rather bright
yellow and ell around the neck and
sleeves, the high waist line and the
foot of the skirt were garlanded roses
of dimlnutive size In all soft tones OF
rose and gray and silvery blue and
plnklsh yellow. The effect was strik-
ing and very pretty for all Its oddity.
Lingerie gowns OF black and black
and-whlto are very much In vogue In
Paris and some Of them are combined
with yelling or silk. A gown OF fg-
ured mousseline with a black ground
has n design OF figures and flowers.
somewhat hazy and blurred, that ls
supposed TO represent old china. N
is trimmed with black chiffon bands EN-
broldered with rose tones These hands
outlined the neck aud sleeves, but a.
the foot OF the skirt was broad band
cf black voile--much more 'servlceable
than chiffon or mousseline would have
been The belt OF this gown was OF a
curious shade OF rose-hued velvet, and
there WAS n big hat OF transparent
straw To he worn with n which was
trimmed with cloud Of black malines
and some velvet wall flowers most
skilfully made and wonderfully coll
ored.
The same effect OF old china is
shown In blue and white and such a
gown would be amazingly becoming
worn by fair haired woman.
Linen gowns in white embroldered
In black are very piquant and one
destined for the French racing season
was made with a boilers OF black and
white heavy lace and had an under
skirt OF black satin. incredible as IL
sounds. and yet II was n linen gown
and comes properly under the headlof
lingerie. meaning anything that may
be washed. ~
Several kinds Of lace are used on
some OF the elaborate lingerie gowns
and lace and embroidery on the same
gown is not considered at all incongru-
GUS. A French gown OF cream liner
with insets OF white lace, appllques cf
cream lace and dots ,of black EN-
broldery, was seen the other day In
collection of very smart gowns ana
was looked upon with many admfing
eyes. ,l'i" N.+I
Colorcd embroidery on gowns Of soft
10 awns and fine linen Is much In favor.
Blue and green and shades OF purple
are tho most seen, although Oriental
combinations OF color are very effeotiye
Sometimes two-thirds Of the skirt f.
enriched with large design In ern-
broldery and very little Is seen on the
bodice. Again II is the other way, and
the bodice will be a mass NJ needle
work while the skirt will he almost
perfectly plain. "A pretty fashion r.
10 have a little embroidery on The
neck and front of the blouse running
to point toward the waist line. rhe
waist Is then defined by embroidery
that describes a point above ann Es.c-V
the waist, giving the effect OF 'ossSe-
let. The skirt Is similarly deco' stst
around the foot with a point coTsinK
up in the front. a gown OF wiiise
linen ornamented IN this fashion waA
seen recently and has cachet all itr
own. although It was made with
tailored simplicity and with scant.
plain. straight skirt and a slightly
bloused bodice fastened In the back.
