skirts There is no doubt that there
is to be a continuance of the liking
for a decided mixture of fabric and
contrast in the same gown. The few
border effects that are being shown
are so unusual that they are assured
OF being a fad. The exclusive de-
signs are found in the Persian mark
ings, and a good many of the expen
sive tailor-mades are fashioned oil
these costly woolens. One of the
stunning new woods being shown by
popular tailor is of black and white
stripes with five-inch border OF the
same colorings running crosswise.
Short Skirt With High Boots.
For the fashionable tailor-made, the
short skirt over high boots of the
same material is the correct thing.
Many of the new skirts belonging to
tailor-made suits have a simulated
tunic effect that breaks the long line,
but this is hardly advisable for the
woman Of average height. Long
straight lines are far more becoming,
even to the short figure. Some OF
the imported skirts are cut in fes'
toon effects half way up the length
and caught with big buttons or pas
sementerie ornaments. A rather
fancy tunic drapery was slashed in
the middle of the front about twelve
inches above the hem and pulled back
at each side and left to fall in knot
ted point near the bottom of the
skirt.
If one judges from the models that
are being received from day to day
there is no doubt that the skirts OF
tailor-mades are to be much fuller
than they have been during the past
eighteen months. Some Of the broad
cloth gowns from Berlin actually
show ripples at the hem. Bands of all
sorts are still in vogue, and those that
run in serpentine effect are among the
newest. OF course this style cuts the
figure, and only tall women venture
to adopt the fashion. We are also
having variety of wavy braids from
the other side. These are employed
on the lower parts of one-piece gowns
and on redingotes. A good deal ot
soutache Is worked in with the de
signs, and often patches of velvet are
seen in the rings made of the braid
An extraordinary feature in many
of the new tailor-mades Is the com
bination of satin and wool. Some o.
the handsomest ones have satin skirt.

Smart Effects.
Length and slenderness Of the sill
houette of the fashionable girl hav,
as much to do with the style as hal
the cut Of the garment. Trimming
also have much to do with the smar
effect. but unless they are properl!
applied the result is hopeless. Th,
two-toned corduroy is one of the ex
cellent materials for the new stree
gown. This material is seen in every
thing from the plainest cut to tn,
most elaborate trained toilet, and IT
garnishments include all the smar
trimmings from chenille fringe to tn,
