All manner of scintillating, SHIN
mering fabrics are in demand for eve
ming garments, and chief among these
is the dance frock and evening wrap,
which are, in many instance, literally
covered with paillettes, bead en-
broideries, crystal ornaments and jet
bugles.
evening dresses have a basic fabric
of fina net, chiffon cloth or mousse
line and these are encrusted with
floral or other designs wrought in
the bead embroideries. The marvel
is the the filmy foundation can sus-
tain the weight imposed upon it. 1t

is necessary to mount these beaded
tissues over satin or silk. and it son.e-
times happens that between the satin
and the scintillating superstructure
there may be three or four layers of
maline. This treatment gives a soft
bouffant effect without adding material
ly to the apparent width or bulk of
the garment.
This idea is illustrated in an eve
ming gown cut en- princesse with long
bodice line accentuating the slender
contour of the figure. The skirt is
composed of triple f1ounces Of black
maline, each flounee edged with a mar
row band of jet. Over the shoulders

is almost SuperfluOuS to describe it,
since il has been talked about written
up and illustrated on every possible
occasion since the model reached
these shores about the middle of Au-
gust. OF course, a number of adap-
tationS have been made by American
dressmakers, and one now finds it in
a great variety of fabrics and color
ordinations.
In that model Georgctte used
reed TO stiffen the hem of the ex-
tremelyl wide overdress of diaphanous
material. The stiff bell outline was
broken by attaching this hem to the
narrow foundation skirt at regular in
tervals. In many of the adaptations,
however, the reed is inserted higher
up, and a curious compromise be-
tween 1880 and Nineteenth century
ideas becomes manifest.

There seems to be a logical relation
between the wide skirts of the dance
frock and the 1880 period, from which
such frCckS take their style cue. Every
one is agreed that they are much
easier to dance in than skirts of a
season or two ago, whose hem meas

various city departments. We are
tending to take more and moro away
from the home. and allow more and
more To be done for the family by
the public. For instance. not long
ago Il was advocated that municipal
wash-tubs be established In connec-
ton with the Clara bath house. 30
that the women Of the locality
might do their washing there In

after birth. and brought up by the
state In thu. way they should 80.
Opinions differ as to just how
far a municipality 10 justified In
taking over the duties which the
family has been supposed to fulfil.
But the point that seems to be very
important just now is. that no mat.
ter how much we may wish that the
city undertake these functions. the
money for the purpose Ii not avail
able.
II don't know where cuts are to
be made; don't know where they
can be made; but Il seems to me
that they must be made, II we are
to give the citizens OF Detroit q tar
rate that Is within reason"
Just how the salary problem is
TO be handled II also a puzzle TO the
estimators. II was decided. In Sat
urday evenings meeting. to assume
that the Board OF Estimates has a.
much power over salaries this year
as II has had In the past. regardless
OF the salary ordinances adopted by
the council. The committees will.
therefore, 20 ahead, considering sal
airy items as we'll as other budget
matters. cutting the salary esti-
mates wherever they believe that
cuts are needed. The burden OF
proof will then be placed on the
common ciuncil.
The estimators- believe that II
they pare the salaries. as well az
the maintenance and improvement
items, they can bring the amount to
be raised by taxation within a rea'
sonable figure. II the aldermen then
insist on the salary scale which
they have adopted. the blame for q
high tax rate, which this will entail.
will fall entirely on the common
council. the estimators believe. A.
any rate. that Is the plan that they
have adopted.
Estimator Palmer advised. Satur-
day. that the salary OF one city en-
ploye be cut. and test case be
made OF II, hut the other plan was
deemed safer. However. Acting Cor
poration Counsel Barlow has been
asked for an opinion as to the pow
err of the estimators over salaries
and Il Ia feared that what he will
have to say on the subject may com
plicate matters even further.
