Chiffon broadcioth Is liked, too for
indoor gowns. and it is always beauti-
full. It is especially handsome in GER
tain colors, and copper with trimming
OF black is as beautiful as it is smart,
while some of the gray-blues are ex-
quisite treated in the same way. Chemi-
settles of white or cream lace gives relief,
and are much in use. Women who
are seeking a costume that can be worn
for any simple occasion, within doors
or on the street with long coat, will
find nothing better than broadcloth or
poplin treated in such way.
Every variety of the fiat collar that
rolls away from the throat is fashion
able. A great many dressmakers recon-
mend the making of such gowns with
separate chemisette. for they can then
be worn with or without as occasion
requires. The open neck is often
desirable within doors, while the chemi-
settle is really necessary to good effect
upon the street.
Some of the velvets and cordurovs
are woven in such light weight that
they, too, are desirable for the indoor
costume, and they are always pretty,
especially desirable for young girls and
small women to whom youthful STYLES
are becoming. Nut brown is exceed
ingly fashionable and is peculiarly
handsome in corduroy.
A lovely effect could be obtained by
trimming with broadcloth in cham
payne color, for broadcloth on the cor
duroy background is extremely beau

THE gown in semi-princesse style
is the favoritc one for simple
occasions, and just now we are
being made happy by front closings.
Women who can afford the luxury of
maids may not find this last feature
an important one, but to the average
reader the gown that can be adjusted
without assistance must be welcome
one.
All sorts of simple materials ara
used for the making of such costumes.
but poplin is great favorite. Serge
of the lightest quality is to be extern
sively used and both striped and plaid
materials are in vogue, being used for
entire costumes and for trimming effects
With the wool fabrics, velvets and
satins are used as trimming and ex.
tremely effective contrasts are obtained.
In gowns of this sort the straight,
narrow lines prevail and the simple
models are preferred, but there is
great deal of variety, nevertheless.
Sleeves of almost every length are
fashionable this winter and one can
wear gown with a N-shaped neck,
gown with high collar gown
with chemisettc or gown without
a chemisette with equal propriety.
Just so long as the wearer looks pretty
and attractive and the general lines
are followed, La Mode is content.
She is generous in details, at least,
and the question of the neck finish
always is an important one.
Buttons are a craze, so generally
are they used, and in such variety are
they shown, while buttonholes, both
real and simulated, are important as
trimming as well as for prosaic use.
Often draperies are held by an orna-
ment consisting of button and but
tonhole, made from piping or braids
for the simple frocks, of rhinestone,
for the costume of greater elabora-
ton. Panels frequently appear to be
buttoned into place whether such is
the fact or not, and wherever buttons
can be used they make smart effect.
Simulated tunic effects are, much
liked and are pretty, while practical
women welcome them because they
can be used with contrasting ma
terials and often make remodelling inter-
esting as well as possible. Real
Scotch plaids are extensively used in
combination with plain materials, and
the costume that combines the two is
eminently chic.

CIMPLE gowns are made from silk
a. well a. from wool this season,

designed for simple occasions.~ As silk
is always lovely with trimming Of vel
vet, effects are usually handsome and
unusually easy to obtain. A great many
of these weaves are found in combined
silk and wool threads also, and the
wool poplin is as smart as the silk poplin.
Silk serge is used as well as wool serge.
