The simple blouses of handsome mate

one is inclined TO think so until she

The wool back satins have been adapt

great success. one of the most STRIKING
characteristics is the vivid coloring OF

STREET COSTUMES.

The street costume Of velvet, sppropn-
ale for morning wear, is distinguished
from the correct afternoon costume oy us
cut and it's trimming. The suit worn IN
the morning should derive its style from
its simplicity its becoming lines and us
general air Of smartness. The model
most favored suffers somewhat from It's
own popularity, but there is certain IN
dividusl smartness which reiieNes the
monotony. The skirt is plain, often Sc
verely plain, without Vestige OF ulln-
mins. Occasionally this severity is bro
ken by a two-inch hem directly down thc
centre OF the front but, az rule, even
fur is tabooed. The coat follows the lines
Of the cutaway. A recent novelty is the
poant~d back, instead OF rounded. The
vary newest Interpretation of the cutaSay
is the model designed from mans fun
dress coat The distinction in coat OF
,bi. TYNE. however, lies entirely in the
cut which should not be broken by trim
ming of any kind. On woman with a

Drspery, and even pleating, fur ann

a more elaborate creation OF the velvet
afternoon costume The reception cos
tune shown IN the accompanying illus
tration is an excellent example OF the
smart velvet afternoon suit. II is made
OF gray velvet. with red fox, used TO give
the contrasting color. There are the
same straight lines in the skirt, but In
this model the severity IL relieved by
frill OF lace let in AT the side seam. This
frill extends Eom the knees almost to
the bottom edge of the fur band ana
matches a similar effect at the side fas-
tening OF the coat. The skirt is slightly
draped toward the large button OF the
velvet at the side seam. There is pam
nier.like fulness to the skirt of the coat
which gives il a certain very likable in
dividuality and distinguishes II from the
general run OF Russian blouses. The
slightly draped effect to the blouse is an
other new feature. 4 frill OF lace fin
ishes the long, comfortably full sleeves
and falls over the hand In courtly fash
ion. Another frill lends soft and dainty
finish TO the neck. falling over the high
collar of the velvet.

VELVET DRESSES.

VELVET BlOUSES.

many of the more elaborate waists vari-

casionally one finds blouse where two
co,ors and two contrasting materials are
skilflllv blended, as in the blouse or gray
satin and ruby red panne velvet Ihe
lower portion and the undersleeves are OF
ruby red panne velvet. and the upper part
which fits closely to the figure like deep
woke is Of gray satin. The upper part oi
the sleeve is cut I'm one piece, with this
deep yoke. and the rundown collar is like
wise Of the satin, with fiat bow OF the
psnne velvet.
With a suit of old blue velvet fetch
ing waist could be worn which could cas-
lily be copied in any desired coloring. the
entire upper part Of the waist. even the
upper part OF the sleeves, is OF old blue
chiffon embroidered in silver soutache.
This gives the fat effect over the neck
and shoulders which is so much desired.
The velvet extends from the waist to the
bust line in two points in the front and In
the back. and falls below the sirdle in two
similar points. There Is deep peplum,
practically a skirt yoke, OF the embroid-
cred chiffon. The lower part Of the sleeve
is of velvet laid in soft folds, and the
girdle is Of velvet in yet deeper tone
fastening al the side in two outstanding
loops. and two others falling almost to
the bottom Of the peplum.

TRANSPARENCY OF coRsAGE.

One of the most interesting features ot
the evening gowns of this winter Is the
transparency Of the upper part OF the
corsage. Chiffon. or lace. is usually
chosen and it is stretched latly over the
neck and shoulders. rather than draped'

brocaded satin, which is softly and easily
draped around the figure, is finished with
a corsage of white chiffon outlined by
strand Of rhinestones. The chiffon Is
extended TO form the mere apology for
sleeves which veil the upper part OF the
arm. Slightly to the right side OF the
bottom of the skirt the brocade is slashed,
the opening being filled in with accordion
pleated chiffon.
On another handsome evening gown OF
black panne velvet the upper part OF the
corsage is of white lace. This lace is eX-
tended to form the cap over one arm.
