is characteristic of most of the former
that they have trains and In these
trains and the manner in which they
are adjusted to the gowns there are
some novelties. Whereas during the
winter trains were transparent, or
nearly so, these new ones are OF
heavy materials. velvets. brocades,
laces lined with fabrics such as gold
brocade, gold or silver tissue and silks
upon which are raised velvet flowers.
Gowns of the most filmy chiffons
and tulles have trains of changeable
velvet, in which one Of the colors ap-
pears as the lining. White is the pre-
dominating note of the gown. but the
trains rival in color all the tints of the
rainbow, and some of them are just
as Elusive and shadowy. Some trains
hang from the shoulders and are fas-

In evening wraps Of the newest
make there Is a tendency to more full
ness. which in way justifies their
name. kings or queens wraps. They
look as If they might be wrapped
about one to cover but not wholly hide
the costume beneath, for although
ample they are all of thin stuffs
through which the gowns can be plain
ly seen. Some are of lace lined with
tulle or chiffon. others are of unlined
lace, but showing some embroidery
about the upper part and as border.
Some Of these last are beautiful and
are costly. almost beyond words.
Model Of "Odd" Lace.
Beer has a model all of lace OF the
exquisite shade of old ivory wnicn
looks as If 1t might be an heirloom
from several generations. On the up
per part, forming a sort Of belero, is
some delicate embroidery done in gold
threads, light enough not to interfere
with the beauty Of the lace. The same
embroidery extends across the top Of
the sleeve, hiding any trace Of an arm
size. but at the bottom. where the
lace is gathered In slightly, there is
a band Of heavy embroidery In quite a
different style. On the edge Of the
sleeve is a turn back cuff Of orange
silk and embroidery, appears on the
bottom Of the cloak.
There Is no fastening, for these
loose fitting garments are supposed,

A great many chiffon cloaks show
large. soft looking hoods made Of lace.
or even Of crepe or silk. These are
frequently most elaborate affairs, part
ly covered with embroidery, finished
about their edges with fringe, puffs,
or ruffles. Most Of these hoods are
really more like capes, for they are
long enough to reach the belt line and
they extend across the shoulders SO
as to cover completely the top Of the
sleeves. They are graceful and es.
pecially becoming to a slight figure.
Coats OF Taffetas and Chiffon.
Besides brocade and stripes there
are many coats seen Of changeable
taffetas and of chiffon, both plain and
changeable. Many Of these are sim
