rivaled each other in bursting martial
music and the impressive ceremonies

chapters of the Order contributed to
the comfort of the general assem-

length and flare at the edge.
With serge skirts are worn hip
length jackets of quilted India silk
A red and white checked Bingham
frOck. with bindings and pipings Of
the red. is a distinctive style.
A touch Of black cleyerly used is
one Of the best things to give char
Icter TO gray. 1t must, however, be
eleverly used.
HemStitching is popular trim
ming for cotton and linen frocks, and
pretty conceit is the use of several
contrasting shades of threads.
For the little girl of three to five
CT six years, cOlored dotted swiss

dreSS-up frocks. Sometimes a trim
ming of plain color or white organdie
finishes the frock.
Wolfe is the most popular fabric

USE OF CHIFFON IN SKIRTS
vide Combination That Is Pretty
and Pleasing.

Two shades Of pink chiffOn-one q
deep rose and the other a pale coral
make a very pretty skirt. Where the
bands of the darker shade are insert
ed. narrow bands of shiny, pale-blue
velvet satin are hemStitched into the
chiffon on each side with silver
threads.
The quaint, tight-fitting bodice
shows a most interesting application
of the satin bands on the picturesque
fichu. This is attained by having the
two tones of chiffon outlined by the
blue violet satin, which gives a most
delightful appearance. The bodice IL
self Is fashioned from twO-tOned satin.
In rose and white il possesses a GER
tain silvery effect. The bright side o.
the satin is used for the cOrsage,
which Is drawn tightly TO one side.
The girdle shows the pale side Of
the satin. This, however. Is further
enriched with a narrow band Of tuT-
QuOiSe satin as well as two magnifi-
cent flowers. One is originated in
orange yellow, while the other is a
rose-cOlored creation.

VEIL ADDS BEAUTY

All Shades Appearing In the New
Suits Are Duplicated in the
Lacy Decoration.

To be becomingly yelled aids a
woman greatly in being smartly
dressed. The selection Of a veil Is as

article Of dress, especially so since

The veil is scarcely a matter Of
season. yet at this time Of the year
its vogue is particularly pronounced
and no spring toilette appears com
plete when IL Is absent. This season
women are evincing an extraordinary
amount Of enthusiasm over wells, due
to the fact that there is such great
variety in color, share and mesh.
All the shades appearing in the new
suits and dresses are duplicated In
wells, although brown. gray and black
predominant. Just as two shades APP

The uniting of different cOlOrs and

ent in those for motoring, yachting
and travelling. These are, OF course,
of the long and flowing variety. An
