revival is the colored taffeta coat

remembrance of the taffeta flchu and

taffetas is now a very superior article,

The Taffetas Costume.
The taffetas costume slowly pro-
ceeds to assert itself once more, and
1t is made In the simplest coat and
skirt form elaborated with soutache,
embroidery and braid. Despite any
prediction shamelessly avowed for
whatever Is labeled fashionable. I yet
vote whole-heartedly for the softer Be-
ductions Of charmeuse, and I have
during this most strenuous season
realized its sympathetic suitability to
social occasions many and various.
You may, for example, when dressed
In simple dark blue charmeuse coat
and skirt, a dark blue hat o'erspread
with white wings and enwrapped In
a blue veil, becomingly spend day

telope shoes and silk stockings to
match. grace thus quiet wedding or
an afternoon party in the best cir
cles. Though In truth the records OF
the afternoon party have Of late told
OF much extravagant elegance. and
when this has been held in a garden
no sumptuousness has been deemed
too extravagant to put in its appear
ance. Which reminds me whilst re-
flecting that pink has become most
popular lately, that amongst the most
delightful specimens Of garden party
frocks l have met was roseate satin
| draped with black tulle embroidered
In dull gold, and worn with a short,
uncurled ostrich feather boa Of black
| tipped with pink, and a broad-brim-
med fine black straw hat with the
crown encircled with a ruche of these
feathers with single outstanding
specimen waving its attractive fronds
towards the back.
Concerning Coats.
Long and short coats are much
worn on such occasions, made Of dia.
phanous fabrics, net or ninon for
choice. The long coat of black net
panel-shaped and traced with bullion.
Is well lined with a pale blue ninon,
and worn with equal success over the
blue or the black gown. White EN-.
broidered frocks look nice under the
loose open three-quarter jacket OF
blue or pink ninon outlined with a
silk bob fringe, and the hat question

and flowers, or in brown or black chip
with thin ostrich feathers to match

favored method In millinery, which

chiffon draperies, the embroidered rib

the alluring alternatives; and, on the
whole, should say that wings fly to
the top Of the poll. The owl (sic)

Novelties In Hats.
Amongst the novelties which are
suffering reductions at the sales are
hats entirely made of broderie an
glaise. The brim Of these bears q
frill, and the crown Is decorated al
the side with wings formed of the
popular circumstances, too. and very
cleverly these are contrived. with the
center bone culled from the natural
wing and the lace softly frilled on
either side of this. The new combina
ton for hats is felt and straw. the
