@SE of the latest fancies and \ perhaps one of the !srettiest
 s for the use of tulle or net arranged layer over layer to give wonderful color results that could not f,e obtained in any other way and u ere is also a very notable ten dencv toward much more becoming ard much more conservative bodices than were worn earlier in the season. If women would only consider what looks we'll on them as individuals in place of what is ordered by the dress mater, we probably would see fewer instances of unpleasant and even ugly exposure than has been the case and the return of sanity in matters of evening costumes can be hardly too enthusiastically welcomed. It would be saying too much to say that extremes are dead or to even hint at srch a thing, but it is nevertheless hue that moderation is to be found ,n the newest costumes and that reater charm results because of that i.ct. The properly made low bodice 5 always a beautiful one, but there $ nothing pretty in garment that 7uts all the lines of the figure and that utterly destroys natures work. A fascinating gown that will be worn to m important feta of the week is made with a slip of lavender charmeuse Mtin and over it are arranged three gathered skirts of tulle, one, of green lsh blue, one of magenta and one of white. each skirt is cut in deep seal. lops and outlined with little petals of silver cloth The bodice is of the lavender charmeuse yelled with ma genta tulle while the bretelles and big ruf71es that serve as sleeves are of the white and the girdle is of the silver cloth, and it gives a very brilliant touch. butterfly of pearls and colored beads is posed effectively in the low neck and butterflies, let it be added are claiming good share of attention just now. They are used as ornaments as in this instance, and there is a hint that the neck finish of tulle with butterfly bow may be expected a little later and many of the dancing frocks of tulle are SO ar- ranged as to give the butterfly effect to the bodice.
 We are using great many beads and great deal of embroidery and these trimmings lend themselves to the butterfly effects so it is natural that we should see them generously used. A fascinating gcvr shat gives evidence of this truth is made with

We are treating cotton as formally as We do silk. In addition to the gown just described. cottca is apt to be found in some of tie newest blouses designed for wear with the new Spring suits and in not a few of the gowns themselves. Organdie was tried last
  but without great success and this Spring it appears in the form of collar. cuffs and vestees on the blouse of Ceorgette crepe chiffon and the like and sometimes the organdie is daintily embroidered with color or with black. Taffeta is used to trim voile and other cotton materials too, and in various ways we find that cottons and silks are harmonious and can be used one with the other with great success. A charm ing blouse that is practical as well. is made of sheer white voile with very high flaring collar and sleeve ruft!es o' sbirred organdie that are piped with pale pink taffeta and there is binding of taffeta finishing the front edges.
