The Floating Veil.

difficulties In the way of obtaining this
favorite dress material. All the best
blue dyes came from Germany, and It
has taken our own people some time
to achieve the best results with home
materials, but they have succeeded.
Quantities of fine silk braidings are
introduced on serge suits, braldings
worked by hand, Of course. One Of
the Beer models, an afternoon dress,
which pleased me very much, was
made of black and white striped char
meuse, and the stripes were arranged
in two different ways.
For the skirt they ran down from
waist to hem, but on the tunic they
ran round the figure, while the corsage
was very clever mixture of the two
methods. This dress had plaitlngs of
black lace let in at one side of the
tunic, and there was broad sash. Of
raspherry-red peau de sole.
New Moyen-Age corsases.
Apropos black silk braid trimmings,
I must speak of the new moyen-age
corsages, which are seen on so many
costumes intended for our girls These
corsages are cut on straight lines and
have the round neck which is peculiar
to moyen-age fashions. They give n
long-waisted effect, and the correct
thing Is to literally cover them with
| fine silk braidings or with rich en-
broiderles.
A plated skirt Is often attached to
corsage of this order, but the latter is
invariably sleeveless and worn over
nm under-bodice with long, often trans
parent, sleeves. This style of dress is
ideal for wearing under warm wraps In
the autumn or early winter. 1t is a
comfortable, very youthful fashion and
very easily achieved
The round moyen-age neck is more
popular than ever. In some establish
ments 1t is exploited almost to the ex-
clusion of all other styles. The idea of
having autumn and winter dresses
made sleeveless, to be worn over DIFF
ferent under-bOdices, is gaining In
favor. 1t is pretty and economical
fashion, for 1t enables clever girl to
make one dress appear like three or
four.
The Floating Veil.
Is 1t not fascinating, this floating veil
which have illustrated2 This Is the
latest style and 1t Is one which will
surely prove becoming to American
women, who have always worn long
and picturesque wells with admirable
grace.
The model illustrated was made of
pearl-gray tulle and 1t had a finely en-
broidered hem which formed sort of
light mask for the lower part Of the
face. The veil itself was slightly gath.
cred and attached. to a velvet band
which was supplied with an invisible
pressure button at the ends. This vel
vet band was passed around the crown
| Of the hat and fastened at the back
the long end of the veil being wound
J around the neck, one end falling ovel
the right shoulder. %5
Floating wells of this order are very
fashionable, and they may be said tt
, be universally becoming. They art
made of spotted tulle or of fine Rus
