the combinations would be startling
were they not so masterfully handled.
Ripe green, field mouse, gray, with a
faint pinkish cast, rose. Riviera blue
these are just a range brighter than
the Parisienne wears at home, but
they are extremely a la mode where
the war is not.
Reminiscent of the princess is a
dress of white serge trimmed with
checked orange and blue silk. The
silk forms a straight front panel, eX-
tending from the waist down the front
of the skirt and around the lower
edge. There is just a touch of Il
agai at the wrist of the semi-full
sleeves. The vest and collar are of
snowy white organdy.
A correct dress for evening which
embraces many styles is in lovely en-
broidered chiffon, with a petticoat
and underblOuse of lace. Very little
of the underblouse shows, however
for there is a yoke of fine net under
laid with pink chiffon which has long
sleeves to match. What there is of
the embroidered vOile about the bodice
is draped' across the figure and fasten-
ed at one side under a metal belt. No
matter how decollete the evening
gown, it may have long sleeves, if
they are of a transparent fabric.

should be fare at the wrists.
Embroidered linen and batiste are
very dignified when used with silk or
satin. Followers of smart fashions
have long since relinquished hopes OF
restricting tubbable materials to tubb-
able designs. Washable frocks are
lacking in essential smartness with
out the contrastipg touch of taffeta or
satin, yet each adCs to the beauty of
the other.
A white linen shirred about the
waist and finished at the lower edge
of the skirt with a deep band of
black charmeuse, is embroidered in
eyelet and solid satin in the daintiest
design possible. There are deep,
graceful scallops undulating the sur
face of the silk and these scallops,
minimized, are used for a little bolero
worn over a guimpe of delicate blue
linen and faced with black charmeuse.
Elbow length sleeves are finished
with shirred cuffs that turn back
gently and are stitched with satin
bands
Bold dashes of color combined with
delightful shade of gray are featured
on a youthful frock of batiste. The
bright color is found in an underskirt
of cretonne and cretonne is used for
the belt and trimming for the bodice

iste overblouse is so unique i'm its

and held together at the shoulders

Afternoon frocks are displayed in
wonderful variety. There are 1890
designs of faille and taffeta, which
share favor with more serious models
