Happily all the examples of dress
are not extreme and Of questionable
beauty, however. for there are many
lovely costumes and many color effects
that are really delightful. A very

finished with a wide hem and at
intervals for its entire length are
insets of gold gauze, approximately
one inch in width while this same
gauze makes top oi approximately
three or four inches in depth: the ma
terial is cut away beneath. At the
left side, there is little drapery ar
ranged and this drapery is held by a
single pink rose. The bodice is sur
plice at the back but has a wide girdle
at the front that disappears under the
surplice back, and the soft drapery
above is of silk tulle. The short.
pufed sleeves are Of silk and the
whole gown gives the effect Of quaint,
girlish charm that is fascinating.

the neck-muff or huge turned-up
collars that suggests the Arctic cos
tunes and again it may be Just a
great big loose collar that drapes the
shoulders and the throat, but it is
fur or so lavishly trimmed with fur
that it practically means the same
thing. Every wonderfully beautiful
material seems to have been called
upon for the making: the lovely
waterfall velvets, as they are called,

velvet, brocaded silks and moire
silks, all are shown and as a matter
of course, they make a superb effect
with the fur and for the most part,
the wraps show plain Innings OF match
ing color or of white. Tor this season,
the gorgeousness is on the outside.
A lovely one is OF waterfall velvet
with little wider rib than chiffon
and the shimmering effect thar always
suggests the dropping of water from
a height. The color is pale blue and
the collar and the trimming one the
sleeves consists of black fox fur. 1t
is really superb garment, simple in
its lines, dignifed in its cut and ex-
quisitely beautiful in color and ma
terial-an ideal garment for the opera
or for the dance. The wraps are not
always so simple in cut, however; a
handsome one of pink velvet is long
and plain at the front, but with a

sort OF deep yoke at the back, to
which the full, shirred portion is
attached that is finished with two
inch heading. Worn by very tall,
straight woman, the effect is good
but the tulness coming Just about the
shoulder line is a little dangerous
Tor the figure not built on the svelte
lines. The simple coats are to r
preferred in every way and are a;
very beautiful. A good model tina.
serves alike for the slender and for
the stout, is made with real raglan
sleeves and very high collar. Today
it was seen in rose pink waterfall
velvet. with wide collar, deep cuffs
and wide band down at the lower
edge, all OF white fox. 1t was volumi-
nously iull, yet the velvet was so soft
and pliable that it clothed the figure
in most charming way. Another
handsome coat is made of rich bro
cade with band at the lower edge,
with cuffs and with a rolling collar
which in this instance extends quite
to the waist line, all Of black lynx.
The coat is plain, almost to the point
OF severity, with the dropping shout
ders and with few plaits at the front,
where it is drawn together and held
by fur clasp, an eminentIy prac-
tical coat, one that can be worn both
Tor afternoon and for evening, is OF
dark blue velvet with bands of chin
chila squirrel finishing the lower
and front edges, the sleeves and
making a wide band at the neck.
One of the ioveliest of the chiffon
velvets shown, is turquoise blue, with
trimming of beaver and it would b.
difficult to find more exquisite color
effect. The coat is loose and ample
with the Japanese sleeves that are
perhaps the best of all for evening
use. Beneath each arm the fulness
is laid in plaits and held by jewelIed
ornament Of striking design. The
band Of fur at the lower edge il
approximately ten inches in width.
There is a very wide collar that
envelops both neck and shoulders
and band down the front edge and
cuffs TINT extend almost if not quite
to the elbows. 1t is a superb coat,
a graceful coat and it makes a good
example of how simple in cut and
yet really beautiful the best gar
ments are.

THIS Is one of the prettiest little

1t is straight at the lower edge and
consequently can be cut from hounc-
ing. 1t consists Of only one-piece for
the skirt and body portion, which is
shlrred and arranged over lining that
holds it in place. The sleeves are
sewed to the arm-holes. Ii simpler
dress is wanted. the shocking or
shirring may be omitted. The design
may of course be copied in any
seasonable material - the pretty
challis and other light weigh woods

tut OF course it is possible to vary the
design in many ways in spite Of its
simplicity. The sailor dress is by

so simple that any home dressmaker
can make it without the least little

the belt and the collar, can be turned

rolled down over the coat. In the

with big patch pockets and with the
iuIness held by the shocking that is
so fashionable this season. In the
picture, it is made of blue crepe de
chine and worn over a blue serge
skirt, but the model is a good one for
all the materials that girls like for
garments of the sort. for the simple
rottons and linens as we'll as for the

EVERYTHING that glitters, every
thing that is brilliant, everything
- that scintillates is to be worn for
evening costumes Many of the model
gowns are, indeed. so bedecked and
perhaps over-bedecked that one is
forced to the conclusion that the
fashionable women can scarcely afford
o smile at the Indian squaw and her

handsome costumes shown in which
he scintillating effect is used with
'iscretion there are very many more

until it is impossible to remember
anything but y mass of rich materials
put together without thought and
without cause and surely not making
whole that is m any way beautiful
or desirable. Like many another
good effect. the scintilating trimming
must be used with moderation il it is
to produce a good result. A really
handsome gown IS, tor example, made
Of green net over white satin veiled
with white net. The green takes the
form OF a succession OF panels and
each OF these panels is edged with a
border Of crystal beads, while this
narrow border are scattered con-
ventional figures that also are mass
OF fine crystal beads. The bodice con-
sists Of the net with chiffon, etfec-
lively draped and shows lust enough
OF the bead trimming to give a touch
OF briliancy The color effect is really
beautiful and yet one is not daZzled
by the display
There has been very great effort
made this season to give us something
new. something different to silence
the statement that Paris was under a
cloud, While mauV Of the results are
attractive and while one is filled with
admiration for the workers. there is
q great deal that is extreme and that
must be looked at askance. The
trains that are worn with the short
skirts are really grotesque in many
instances. Only new and again, once
and awhile does one make a good
effect. and when that is seen there is
sure to be a connection between the
train and the gown. As matter OF
!act, no very short skirt ever can be
pretty with train. but there are de-
grees OF ugliness and some arc less
offensive than others. A Worth cos
tune of black velvet, for example,
is made quite short at the front and
at the sides with the irregular edge
to the skirt that is such a feature,
and is faced with watermelon pink
velvet ribbon showing just a picot
edge below the black. 1t extends into
a narrow train at the back, but the
,kirt is heightened gradually-the
train is not hung over a short skirt as
is so often the case. Undoubtedly
there is beauty in the court train. but

style. 1t is closed at the shoulder in
characteristic fashion and can be
finished with a choker collar, as it is
here. or can be made without a
collar and with the neck cut to form
a slight V, but girls who find the high
neck comfortable will like this stvle

especially sailor-like touch, the edges
are laced together at the back. The

elbows. In the illustration. the ma
