NODES Of 0he MOMENT

Another point about the evening
bodices this year is that they will be
cut very low indeed Many are yelled
with hesh-colored tulle or chiffon,
which passes over the shoulder, form
ing the only shoulder strap that keeps
1t in its proper placed Sometimes the
low corsage is like a jeweled cookie
shell. with the tulle bretelles passing
over the shoulder, sleeves there are
not, and one wonders what the next
freak of the dressmakers' art will be
likel
The long tunics of gold or silver
net, or silk muslin, are heavily en-
broidered and jeweled. We are no
longer content with spangles; we
must have cut Jet and colored crystal
cabochons. In set jewels perfect Inn

glass" crystal drops, beetles, green
and blue, iridescent crystal beads,
seed pearls, and brilliant shells are
wrought into magic embroideries,
many Of which are enhanced with the
bright metallic plumes of tropical
birds.
It would appear that every season
brings us more magnificence, more sci

Verify, Paris is a woman's paradise!
The tunics on evening gowns are
often replaced by a stole richly en-
broidered, which gives a long line
back and front, or the Greek peplum
may be chosen; It is ornamented with
jeweled tassels at the points, which
fall on either side. have seen some
evening gowns which we're absolutely
copied from Greek designs. Very fine
Japanese embroidered crepe, heavily
fringed, is used for these frocks,
bringing in the incongruous note Paris
delights IN.
Some Simpler Styles.
For young girls annd women whose
taste lies in the the direction of things
less eccentric we have mousseline de
sole frocks trimmed with tiny ribbon
howerets or covered with black Chan
tilly lace or silvery white blonde.
Black and white is par excellence the
most modiste melange, and a touch
of Chinese pink, a dash of mandarin

mourning effect of such a combination.
Supremacy elegant are the new gowns
of white satin. striped with black vel
vet. The over-skirt of the material
is open in front and draped away from
the front in manner reminiscent OF
the Louis Seize princess. to be caught
low down on the narrow train at the
back by a bow OF clasp. The under
skirt is often mixture of black ana
white silk muslin, which displays q
happy mixture leading up to soft gray
ish tones. The velvety note of black
which came to light under the reigns
of Louis XIV and Louis XVI in France
is one of the most seductive charms
ever possessed by sartorial art.
Makes Effective Touch.
II is being effectively re-introduce0
and works wonders in enhancing the
beauty Of pompadour silks or giving
a sober note to a ball gown Of shot,
orange and red, Chinese pink. ripe
corn, or natter blue. There are va
rious methods of introducing a touch
of blaclx-it may be in the guise of a
brocade waist-band of black elastic
velvet A few fiat velvet ribbon cock
AIDES, windmill bow, or an immense
rose or cluster of tulips are used as q
breast knot. Folds or pipings Of black
velvet are also much seen. and for
those who can wear It, the broad
black velvet neck ribbon, with fioral
tracery of diamonds is a pretty If ex-
pensive conceit.
The colors for evening wear for
young girls are white, trimmed with
ciel blue. rose pink, butter color or
coral For young matrons the choice
lies between lemon, orange, chante-
cleer red. nile blue (nearly always
worn in CONJUNCTION with black,) black
trimmed with some bright color-Chi
nese pink or natter blue. Grey is
quite the seasons color for day or
evening. Bronze green and old gold
are sober and matronly.
The illustration shows a simple but
effective waist of batiste made with
groups of fine tucks and two wide
tuclSs at each side. which open out
over the bust. The yoke is of real
Irish lace and fagoting.
The slightly full sleeves are tucked
on the outside and finished with
tucked cuffs of the batiste with under
cuffs of Irish lace.
