Despite the fact that Dame Fashion says the petticoat is no longer the mode, we stlll see the most adorable models in the shops, and purchase and wear them, too. True, they are much narrower than the styles of old and are made of soft materials, but nevertheless they are worn by the conservative woman at any rate. The jersey material for the top por- tion has scored such a success that we find it used in every grade of skirt, from those having flounces of crepe or lace to the ones of satin or perhaps mohair, and all are beautl- ful for the new petticoat is brilliant in color or is decorated with flowers of decided hue on a ground matching the suit. In the medium-priced skirt, soft fin- ished taffeta will be used extensively, this material belng found satisfactory as it has not the rustle formerly so much desired, and Its wearing quall- ties are greatly improved. Though there is a great deal of talk of the wider skirt, women are loth to sacrifice the slender lines acquired with so great trouble, and manufac- turers, realizing this, have made the new skirts no wider than two and a half yards, which width hangs grace- fully under the new fall suit Clothes Brushes.. Very often on the dressing table the clothes brush with a plain wooden handle is the only unattractive article to be seen. Silver-backed brushes al- ways have bristles too soft to be ot practical use, and the plain ones with stiff bristles are within the reach of even the modest purse. A good way to bring them into har- mony with the surroundings is to cov- er the backs of such brushes with bro- cade or broche sllk. Sandpaper the wood =o it will retain mucilage. Have the silk cut the exact size and shape of the brush’s back | and paste it on very smoothly. Finish the edge, after it is dry, with a narrow | border of gimp or galloon, Flowered silk to match the color- ing in the other toilet belongings is best. A brush treated in this way makes an attractive gift, and one that would be appreciated by the dainty woman. Cretonne and small-figured chintz may take the place of silk, if the for- mer is used elsewhere in the bedroom furnishings, Linen or plain silk with the mono- gram of the owner embroidered on it | also makes a pretty covering for the | backs of brushes. Sheath Gowns of White Velvet. White velvet is much used for sheath gowns under transparent over dresses, and it thick, dense softness shows charmingly covering. With a black overdress such a toilet was particu larly successful. In a similar com bination shining white satin appliqued with motifs of heavy white lace took the place of the velvet. This was | velled with a plain black transparen | cy. There were jet trimmings and a bit of pale pink was placed beneath the veiling of the corsage. Another success in black and white was a long, close-hung gown of Llack mous- | seline de sole with a tunic overdress shaped from two long strips of lace insertion. These strips fell to the hem of the underdress, back and front, and were lightly belted by narrow velvet ‘l’o:- fastened under motifs at each DAINTY AND NEAY cmusoLsa' or Jap sii% fulness; s ! through the filmy | Chantilly | PAGE THREE The Ladies’ Store 3 T BARDIY Something New Every Week Coat Suits, Dresses.
