tractively used as tunic, or as a
long and graceful sash. Cloth of gold
on white is dainty an dcharming be-
yond words. 1t also combines with
almost any of the other colors, dark,
or light.
A combination of black PANEL vel
vet and cloth of silver is stunning in
it's simplicity. The three-fOunced
skirt is of silver, each flounce bound
with bias strip of itself, with the
edge impressed, that it may look al
most like cord. The bodice is made
of strip of panne velvet, which is
placed basque fashion over an I'M
derbodice of net The edges of the
V-shaped neck and the extremely
short sleeves of the net are composed
alternately of one cong bead and a
rhinestone. In front at the point of
the V neck bright red rose gives life
and zest to the entire costume.
The gown of black lace and velvet
which is used for the illustration is
made over a slip of white charmeuse
having an outer lining of gold metal
net. The bodice of black chiffon vel
vet is made in Surplice basque
effect. The plain net across the front
is over the metal net. The sleeves
are a mere ruff1e over each shoulder.
The wide skirt of lace through which
glimmers the metal and white is
rather short, as is the style for the
dresses for day or evening waer A
rosy, colored flower is used at the
closing of the waist.
A gown simple and wonderfully eff
fectiye is made of salmon cOlOred
chiffon velvet. The skirt is full shir-
red several times at the top to make
the gathers fall easily and gracefully.
At the bottom of this skirt is six
inch ruffie gathered over a thick cord.
The edge is not hemmed, but finished
with a machine-made picot. The waist
is composed of net and lace fiunda-
ton, over which is draped wide
piece of the bias velvet with picot
edges, giving the effect Of low
waistline and reaching as high as the
point of the V neck. At the back OF
the velvet dropped lower than the
front, showing the latest line around
the hips.
Another dress worth of note is
made on an underslip of white char
meuse and metal net. The lower sec
ton is of heavy golden yellow. net
with a heavy design all over it IN

position, and from this point can
re3ch the line Of every subscriber

limited number of subscribers an
Swering jackets terminate in front
Of each operator. This causes it to
be possible for an operator to con-

Cloth of gold is used for the sec
ond illustration with a bodice of shell
pink panne velvet, which divides in
the back, the lower protion extending
into sash. The sleeves and founces
on the skirt are of the shimmering
cloth of gold.
The artificial flower is feature of
of contrast, the brilliant touch that
gives zest, or the depth of character
necessary to the successful compile
ton OF any gown
These flowers are made of silk and
velvet in colOrs natural or unnatural.
The important thing is not how near
to nature they can be made, but to
have the color contrast which tells,
on the dress it is to be worn upon.
Roses made of cloth of silver and tied
with streamers of dull blue picot-
edged ribbon are worn at the waist of
dress, with bodice of white satin hav-
ing brocaded velvet pattern in hazy
pink, green and dull blue, and skirt of
pink taffeta, which was caught up on
one side by these roses, making one
side of the dress preceptibly shorter
than the other.
An entire dress of cloth of silver
would have been cold indeed, with
out the addition of brilliantly shad-
ed pink rose worn just at one side OF
the square Dutch neck.
Black nj al the suitable fabrics is
made into gowns for evening, and
without the aid of the popular flower
might be dull, indeed.
Paris set the style of not wearing
gloves with evening gowns and so we
have taken it up and the gowns are
sleeveless and worn with the arms
and hands bare. 1t truly is sensible,
not to say economical. But when
gloves are worn ethy are more often
white than colored, and molly the wO-
man in mourning would wear black
gloves with her black evening dress.
The foot gear for evening gowns
are of course, slippers. There was
much talk of sandals and lOw-heeled
slippers, but it has been merely talk,
for the heels are, if anything, higher
than ever. To be always correct, it is
safe to have slippers the color, or the
predominating, color ofthe gown. But
