New Beaded and
Spangled Robes

in the most wonderful shadings; thus
a gown can be worked out in variety
of stitches and materials, all in one
tone.
One no longer sees a robe entirely
spangled nor one done entirely in cup
shape motifs. But there are squares,
triangles, oblong, pointed, round,
faceted and tube shapes in varying
sizes, sewn according to intricateiy
traced designs on nets Of deep tone
thus making the background as well
as the embroidery in one color.
Shapes, Forms for Every Taste.
Many of these beautiful robes have
been especially executed for the Paris
dressmakers after their own designs,
and they come from the hands Of the
manufacturer almost perfect dress
with sleeves. decolletage, waistline,
skirt fullness, length and shape die
tated by the highest Paris fashion au-
thorities.
There are shapes and forms to
please every taste; tunics cut high In
the neck in what is known as decol-
letage, without sleeves or with very
short ones, if any. Other models hav-
ing the Straightforward decOlletage
with only tiny jeweled shoulder straps
and bodice are cut off just below the
curve of the bust.
Again the bodice takes the form of
n hin of tho front n hook or6 ci6nc
of the figure being left almost nude.
In addition to the straight chemise
form there are TUNES in which the
skirts are entirely complete; others in
which that part known as the skirt is
formed of succession of festoons or
fringes Other models are long
straight panels OPEN at the sides.
Styles of 1880 Leave imprint.
The quantities of these beaded tn.
MICS that have been exported give evi.
dence that all the big stores in Ameri-
ca are anticipating large demand for
them. One may expect, therefore, that
the beaded tunic will be seen in town
and hamlet as well as in the cities.
Although it appears impossible to
overcome the liking for simple black
silk frocks for daytime, the handsom-
est of evening dresses are being made
from gorgeous materials in bright col
ors. The feeling of the 1880 period is
very strong in model dresses for the
evening.

skirts, most of which are very long,
some almost touching the floor. In
the skirts of more slender outline some
part of the frock is made to trail, for
while the skirt when slender is long,
it is considered desirable to give the
effect of even greater length by trail
ing points and panels.
Much silver lace and velvet ribbon
are used as trimming on satin and silk
dresses.
Lanvin has just brought out some
charming dance frocks in satins of the
brightest shades, such as shrimp pink
and trims them most deliberately with
metal laces and large applique motifs
of natter blue velvet.
Harks Back to Earlier Days.
The way in which Lanvin has ap-
piled the velvet trimming is most I'M.
usual. The bodice pointed far down
in the front and ending at the normal
waistline-a revival of a very eld-time
styles seen in ever so many of these
Lanvin frocks.
Callot makes charming evening
gowns entirely of cloth of gold, com
bining with it gold tulle and black vel
vet. These have. the very long skirt
but are of much simmer outline thar
the Lanvin frocks referred to above.
The new evening capes are the love
Hest ever, and the interesting point Is
that they are very long, frequently
touching the floor. They are made OF
the richest materials, wonderfully com
