Straight Silhouette Remains,
Though Fulness Increases

better style. and combination OF silk and
wolfe Is more desirable than all silk IN
either an ordinary or best" costume. The
dark plaided silks are really charming
made UP in the simplest manner. with A
fancy belt and velvet collar and cuffs.
Little gowns OF fine woollen stuffs, once so
well liked, but now no longer seen. are re-
placed by silk and voile. A little later
coarse linens and piques will be worn.
Linens. as coarse and heavy as bagging IN
natural colors, are prettily striped with
yellow. dark green or red-yellow. and black
satin Is used for the accessories
The little rococo silk roses have made
new bid for favor. but newer than these
are roses and leaves made OF little colo:ed
glass beads. Truly an odd decoration. A
dark blue gown has its skirt made half
plain dark blue silk. half blue and black
changeabls silk. The latter. which Is the
lower half, Is embroidered by hand with
red wool in little flower bouquets-a stun
little red rose set on brown stem inside
two green leaves. all as stiff1y outlined as
chld's drawing. Where The belt closes at
one side a large voollen rose Is posed, and
another clasps the folds OF white net

bro!dery adorns the edge OF high, turned
over collar OF black taffetas designed TO oe
worn as separate garment. The three
quarter long sleeves. cut in one with the
shoulder, but perfectly fitting the arm by
reason OF the peculiar under cut, are
trimmed to match the collar. and 1t is belt
ed with patent leather OF the red which
prevails in the flowers. The coat Is rather
more than half long: It blouses ever so
little over the belt, and the skirt of IT is a
little full-the best possible model for
practical separate coat, If becoming 20 the
figure.
Among pretty little adjustable accesso-
RIGS which help to make pleasant changes
in a toilet are bows. big and little. OF black
tulle. \ little pleated bow, the pleats held

In the trousseau OF an English girl, VINO
would have none but Paris gowns, were
included the gowns for the four brides
maids. two grown-ups and two little maid
ems. with gowns of white silk yO!le the
first wore fascinating little SHort~a.5ted
coats oS pale blue satin. Their ha." was
bound with a band OF blue velvet, which
supported waving blue ostrich feathers
held by a spray OF ping azaleas, and they
carried big bouquets " the same sweet
flowers. tied with blue satin ribbons. The
tiny maids wore frocks OF similar material.
embroidered at the hem with blue beaded
flowers and sashed with blue ribbon. and
on their golden heads they wore little caps
