fringed ends. Still another beautiful
cape, also Of gray satin and gray
georgette, reveals "a slivery gray and
blue satin facing.
In this connection I must also men,
ton the revival of the mode for little
neckbands to wear with evening
dresses. Bars Of Jet mounted on very
fine lace bands and linked together
with strings Of Jet are immensely
fashionable. We seldom see pictures
OF Englands Queen Mother without a
circlet Of some sort about her throat,
and this I speak of to illustrate the
sort Of little neckband in vogue here.
These jet circlets are now and then
mounted on velvet. One sees them
with a square buckle in front with
loops Of Jet connecting with another
buckle at tho hack. They clasp the
throat quite Closely and as a rule are
becoming. Because Of the demand at
this time for simple things these little
trifles have almost superseded brill
liant and glttering and very costly
precious stones. Pearls. however, go
on their beautiful way adored and
desired and seem to accord with the
spirit Of the times.

velvet roses along the bottom of the
skirt. Not only are the rose petals
outlined with the little beads, but
there are tiny chains Of the jet to loop
the flowers together around the skirt
At each side of the skirt long panels
Of very fine black lace fall and are
turned back in loop caught in at the
waist line and held at one side with a
knot Of the velvet blossoms. As In all
of the other models, this too Is sleeve
less, and has the square neck much
sought this summer.
1t is impossible to speak OF evening
gowns without making mention Of the
wonderful and very lovely new eve
ming wraps. Imagine one Of these of
pale rose georgette banded together
with wide strips OF rose velvet bro
caded In quaint old timey yellow and
pink rosebuds. The shape of the cape
is narrow and round like the capes
affected in our grandmother's day As
rule these gossamer things have no
lining. And yet they give sufficient
warmth for summer nights.

Some have surface OF flower petals

disappeared, for 1t is either SO high
under the arms that 1t is entirely en-

Now and then the waist Is en-
phasized by a huge butterfly bow; but
this is rarely at the waist line. 1t
may be just above its sash and maybe
draped in loops just below.
II is TO be noted that all Of the new
evening gowns are sombre in tone
black. dark blue and purple leading all
other colors These sombre gowns are
decollete in the extreme; there Is no
modification as yet of this fashion.
Bright trimmings are introduced in
various unusual ways to tighten the

Meadow Blooms Popular.
These gay simple meadow blossoms
are so popular this year that one sees
them hobnobbing in the most aristo-
cratic gowns and hats. The particular
frock which they adorn in this in
stance is prettily put together in a
fine confusion Of black tulle and fine
lace. There are no sleeves and just
as little bodice as possible.
The cuirasse waist is seen on a
black dress. Of which tulle and satin
form the skirt. Wide blue satin rib

cade at one side OF the back and are

1t Is always wise to have at least one
black evening gown in ones wardrobe
There is nothing more serviceable. In
deed, I recall the words of a certain
beautiful American actress who said:

mover without one"
do not know what became OF the
6Scarded treasures, but l remember
seeding her at dinner one evening in a
marvellous black gown decorated here
and there in some mysteriously clever
way with silver nail heads just as
jewellers edge costly pocketbooks and
card cases with the narrowest gold or
silver clasps. The gown had no touch
Of color except these silver nail heads,
but It was indescribably lovely and
becoming. There is no doubt about
1t, the black evening gown is indis-
pensable. especially in these stern
times when one dress must serve far
longer than any three have in years
gone by.

wornout shopping bag, a torn
Veil, badly fitting shoes, frayed gloves
these are minor details to which the
well dressed woman pays quite as
much attention as she does to her suit
or dress.
OF course war time conditions do not
permit us to indulge in many of the
delightful accessories with the same
freedom we have heretofore enjoyed.
We carefully consider the new bag be-
fore we purchase it nowadays. and look
well into its lasting qualities instead
OF yielding, as heretofore, quickly to
its beauty OF color and make.
As I have said a number Of times,
there is nothing quite so pronounced
in the prevailing modes as the ten
dency to combine materials. I find
this tendency evidenced in the new
array Of bags which are handsome and
so well made that they will last as
long as the most economical could de-
sire. In fact, as many bags have the

which admits always Of clever. soft,
draping. and for this reason never
seems to lose its hold. The darker
gowns are made up for the most part
in the nets, while the pale shades are
left to chiffon and georgette.
Some one has said that all Of the
late models shown at this moment
have a middle aged look. as II in
tended for women of maturer years,
rather than for the gay young crea-
lures we associate with festive and
| joyous occasions. OF course there Is
not much gayety nowadays and there
are very, very few parties and dances

less their own way. Being a debutante

Is the soldiers themselves who plead
for the wearing of light and gay
frocks, who beg for that joie de vivre
which means so much to youth re-
leased from the stern surroundings of
military camp, and which is ex-
pressed by girls in lovely frocks at
gay dances.
One of the prettiest dancing frocks
l have seen recently is OF dark blue
net. very fine and filmy in texture. It
Is made on a foundation of navy blue
satin and has n short cuirasse Of rib
boHs of several colors-lavender, old
rose, silvery gray and dark blue har-
moniously intermingled. Just on the
hips are curiously contrived little short
ruffles, which stick straight out. They
look like short ballet skirts and catch
the eye at once. This dancing frock
was not designed. I am sure, for the
middle aged, whose desire is for those
models Cleverly concealing waist and
hip line, but rather for some pencil
slim rcedlike creature.
The French dressmakers set the
stamp of favor, some months ago, on

vogue here and appears on many eve

One of the black net frocks I re-
ferred to above shows a rather old
fashioned Idea. 1t Is made Of black
net on a foundation OF very heavy
black satin. There are three hounces
of net set like ruffles in dimity frock.

holes are outlined with a thread Of jet.
