n1atellasse. The sections of the outer velvet skirt are open at the sides for several inches to suggest panels of the white. An exquisite afternoon gown that carries out the same idea but without the double skirt is made of chiffon broadcloth in very wonderful new shade that is known as "Dcmoc- rlcY' and which is not to be defined as q grey or tan or a sand, but which IS neutral and makes an exquisite back ground. The skirt is quite plain and simple on the order of the black velvet one mentioned above, but in this case, caught to panels of very heavy lace which lace is just shade darker than thc cloth There is charming little bodice with long, full sleeves of the lace gathered into narrow bands and over it q closely fitted little cape that makes a very quaint and attractive cllcct. tndoubtcdlv. the side panels are making something 5i feature and these two important models serve to emphasize the fact and to point the way Already, similar effects have Eeau seer evoked in sirilar ways, and t ie.sa'" to rely u9dn the tancl sides as iuaL;ne one of the features whi-h viii be apparent throughout the s"Isln
 1ic revival oi matcllsse IS inter esting too, and the black and white costume referred to above IS exceed ingly handsome lust today there was met upon the avenue, a young girl in a sand colorcd costume that consisted ot dtivctyn tunic and coat over skirt of matellassc in matching color and with big draped muillerlil<e collar of the matellasse and deep cuffs of the same finishing the coat. lnci- dentally. there was worn with this costume one of the new very high, draped turbans made of the duvetyn. Unqucstionably, hats to match the costumes are to make a feature. We sec them at every turn and in many instances they are exceedingly at- tractive.
 Nothing. however, quite outdoes the simple gowns with which we have grown familiar and which are really dear to the feminine heart. They can be made rich and handsome if suitable materials are used. they are always graceful, they are always pretty and they are always serviceable. An exceedingly handsome one seen today consists of a simple, loose bodice of the medieval sort with skirt that is draped little at the sides. and the only trimming is bit of soutache brading around the V.shaped >aeck and on the sleeves, the gown being held at the waist line by girclle of n.rrow silk braid weighted with silk
