TUsT at present. while the French
woman is waiting for tho '.spe-
= cialists' in dress TO decide on the
great cases in mind. she has turned 10
the ever-safe and changing blouse for
diversion.
1t Is here in It's newest lingerie form,
wolfe and marauisette and the combl-
nation Of beauty and utility is .rresst-
ible
Many blouses ars showing designs in
beads or IN a beaded effect secured by
French knots. These latter are very
new, and are worked IN silk or heavy
cotton and in contrasting cdogs. The
ecru. white or coIored fahncs are re-
inforced by piecc of lawn as q back
ing for any large motifs.
Pointed jabots with edgings OF real
lace are used on many simple. undeco-
rated biouses. Tho Irish lace may be
said to hold first place as decoration for
the lingerie frocks and blouses.
Many blouses match the suit IN color,
and braid. crocheted buttons and the
touch Of black satin are the favor.te
forms OF trimming. They are generally
made OF crepe de chine or satin and
have narrow crushed girdles attached
A chic model OF a negligee was shown
in q brides trousseau made by the Ney
soeurs for a wealthy young woman
famous for her good tasts in dress. It
was Of royal purple liberty satin, SIM
PLY draped at tho side. A fichu collar
of light blue mousseline de sole was
hemstitched and fell over blue mousse
line sleeves.
For little tots a house that holds first
place in the shops for children is show
ing the most charming little frocks In
empire style. There is shown a touch
OF real lace on all Of them. and the use
OF a sash OF either pink or blue Is quite
general.
Hats for those who ara fitting 10 the
Riviera are being shown in all the mil
l,nery salons. There Is q marked tend
ency to heightened crowns and broader
br1ms.
Large shapes. turned up At the front,
are showing trimming OF black and
white ostrich feathers.
Toquss OF brocade with pulled crowns
Of plain satin are good for tho early
spring daye. These are trimmed with
small aigrettes ut one side. II this os-
prey Is not used. q high plume Is used.
Over here tho vogue for the separate
scarfs Is certainly not on tho wans.
Every woman counts ono or moro in
her outfit, and tho great demand has
evidently not overtaxed the ingenuity
Of makers, for new designs are con-
stantiy appearing.
MousssAne in black and gray. with
designs In small porcelain beads, Is the
favorfte. Crepe de chino is a close sec
ond, and this material, that has been
reinstated, IS lovely when hand painted
Bags OF the gayest colors and OF every
fabric imaginable are carried by the
Parasierne. She fairly rsvels in the lit
Ito useful article.
HandkercMefs OF finest linen are
edged with black caantilly lace. Surely
a novelty but very good in the real
thing!
Black chantily lace 10 being used on
many dresses. Gray tulle embroidered
in silver IL another new trimming for
dressy gowns.
Do not forget the train: It u square
or pointed, but II IL. undoubtedly feA-
ture OF evening gowns.
White gowns are embroidered IN crys-
tai beads.
Sleeves on all evening dresses are very
transparent, often being formed OF tulle
or lace when the rest Of tho gown IL
Of charmeuso or silk.
Stripes for the tailored suit are the
weaves that most designers have chosen
for spring. ELO1SE.
