GOWNS, WAISTS, WELLS.
Dainty Designs for Women's Ward robes Which the Stores Provide A Contrast in Evening Frocks- Evolution of the Shirtwaist.

Although emphasis is laid upon the fact that the popular colOrS this season are to be Burgundy, browns and cer- "a in tints of green tLe designers of garments and hats have not overlook ed the tastes of those who are partial to other hues.
 In the wonderfully handsome assort- ment of evening gowns displayed at the openings yesterday one of the most striking frocks was a Fortesque blue tulIe over taffeta This elegant gown had wide bretelles in deeper blue se- nuins, the same marine blue sequins zdging the tunic and the short sleeves. It was a stunning gown and won many admiring comments.
 By contrast, an afternoon dress in delicate gray charmeuse had collar, cuffs and aem edged with rnoleskin The vest effect was obtained by veil ing apple green ottoman with shadow lace. It was g very demure yet ex- ceedingly charming model.
 For those who like blue there was shown also an effective dress in delft Cfeorgette crepe over crepe de chine it's feature q tunic on the Russian or der. Silver embroidery made this one of the handsomest dresses displayed.
 Novelties in Waists.
 The last word in elegance applies 10 this seasons showing of waists. What artists arc enabled to do with what were originally known as simple shi.twaists is evidenced in the evolu- ton of the wonderfully complete array of separate waists in the favored coming back strongly-in the marvel olls combinations of Georgette and taffeta and in the more severe white waists
 There may be a scarcity of dyes in Amorica-but DO one would believe it, while looking over these boxed beau ties in shades of flesh, blue, green and he like.
 This season there is much beading and embroidery used, and the majority f the waist models come in long sleeves and rolling collars, although these collars are convertible into high affects at will
 Plaid taffeta combined with blue or bronze Georgette is one of the waist ideas which is certain to prove we'll liked.
 Dressy VeiTs Featured.
 Adding to the trig effect of some of The hats on display are veils, which certainly give distinctive touch.
 Such a veil was thrown over the top of one of the high sailors built of light broadcloth and black panne velvet, and with narrow black moire be1ting. Embroidered touches in fancy chenille were about the crown.
 So, too a dotted blue veil, modfshly gathered above the hem, adorned a turbar of black velvet which had a wreath of silver flowers under the high brim. As a matter of course, these veils were put on by artists, so that the effect was in startling con- tl-ast to the careless and almost ugly way in which so many Veils are being hung about hats by wearers who lack the F-renchy touch coming from pro- fesSional drapi2g.
 It is real study to see all these beautiful gowns, waists, hats and reils. as they are now offered for in- spoctiOn
