Satin Lining for Gowns.

Satin is a more effective background
or lining than any other material for
the evening gown. and as material
for the entire gown there is nothing
more satisfactory as an investment.
In black, white. or colors, the satin
evening gown always looks well. and
good figure shows to such good ad-
vantage whether fashion DEGREES that
there shall be folds or plaits or drap-
ing. Satin crepe de chine is extreme
ly fashionable now for evening gowns,
and is also a satisfactory material. al
though it lacks the richness and depth
of the former. Plain and brocaded
designs are both popular, and the new
brocade crepe de chine is an extreme
ly smart fabric in the most fascinating
of colors. one shade of blue being es
pecially noticeable. 1t has an unusual
pattern throughout, and it is made VI
with white lace crepe de chine In the
train, and waist, and the front of the
skirt in the lace.

things across the water. or else adap
tations of the best styles imported
for women.
Our sketch presents new version
of the old Russian dress, the skirt
and bodice here being shirred togeth-
err over cords. The dress, which is
of white ratine, fastens at the left
with five white pearl buttons; the
collar and cuffs are of white and
black striped silk, and the guimpe is
of fine embroidery lawn.
This cut is very useful for the
smaller girls, those between six and
eight, who have not yet become en-
tirely used to dressing themselves.
The front fastening make 1t easy to
put on and take off. and so If the lit.
tie guimpe were made to fasten down
the trent as we'll the child's indie
pendence would be complete. Many
school frocks of cheap serge or
flannel or fancy wool are made in
this manner with contrasting collars
and cuffs of wool. A gay plaid worsted
frequently decks a little dress OF
plain blue or brown serge, while
gown of velvet or velveteen in the
same cut will have the collar and
cuffs of a rich lace or else Of cloth
and ratine.
Concerning the home making OF
these little frocks, or any others OF
smart sort, pray let me say a further
word in praise of the French makers.
They are most careful about match
ing trimmings to materials, they are
| original and dainty in details, and
everything turned out for children,
however rich the textures, has an
infantile quality. Patterns are small,
and trimmings put on the bebe or
small way, Every garment for chill
dren is exquisitely finished, too, in
side as out, especially coats and
frocks for high dress. Some beautiful
little costumes seen recently were
finished at the inside of the bodice
fastening and at the hem turn of the
skirts with narrow, fat putting oil
silk matching the gown color. The
same putting will be used to delight
full advantage all round the inside
edge of fine coat. and there 1t
sometimes contrasts with the lining.
A capacity for infinite pains is the
real secret of French taste in dress,
and nowhere is this dainty patience
more rewarding than in childrens
garments.

Disappointment.

Dan Blair had not been back of the
scenes at the Gaiety since his first
call on the singer. Indeed, though he
had told the duchess he pitied Miss
Lane, he had not been able to APP
preach her very closely, even in his
own thoughts. When she first ap-
peared on his horizon his mind was
full of the Duchess of Breakwater, and
the singer had only lowered round his
more profound feelings for another
woman. But Lefty Lane was an at
mosphere in Dams mind which he was
not yet able to understand. There was
so little left that was connected with
his old home, certainly nothing in the
British Isles. excepting Ruggles, and
to the young man everything from
America had its value. Decidedly the
