WHITE HAVING GREAT VOGUE
Striking Novelties Shown in This
Most Approved of All colors for
the Winter.

Among the most striking novelties
of the season are the gowns and tail
ored costumes of white corduroy,
cloth or serge. While corduroy suits
are made with little trimming other
than buttons and clever manipulations
of the material itself. Little panels in
which the thick ribs run horizontally
make surprisingly effective decora-
tions. On the cloth costumes corduroy
is often seen in collars, cuffs and but
tons. Among the more unusual white
cloth suits is one with bands of wide
black silk braid running straight
around the skirt and sleeves and
adjoining the large collar and revers.
One Of the handsomest of the white
cloth gowns has a plain skirt, with
row of buttons of the same material
down the left side. Although the lines
of the skirt are of the straightest and
it has the appearance in front of be-
ing almost extremely narrow, there is
a single big pleat in the back that
gives it considerable actual width
The waist of the gown is of a coarse
handmade lace. with a wide collar
and cuffs of the cloth. There is a
rather wide. shaped, stitched cloth
belt, which is broken in front by the
lace of the waist coming over it. A
little satin vest and stock, cascade
and undersleeves of fine creamy lace
complete the dress.
