Sometimes it is po more than a piece of narrow plack velvet ribbon which is knotted about the waist. Sometimes it is a wide, soft silk sash that is tied in a ' Joose, flappy bow in the back or at the side. Sometimes a sash is formed from an extension of the two fronts, | folded about the waist, and clasped ' under a jeweled fastening at the pack.

Our coats and gowns and hats are rarely exact copies of the original models, but the original models are reflected in them. As Americans we see fit to follow certain Paris crea- tions at a little or a great distance, according to their adaptability to our needs. The originals are beautiful, or, at least, interesting. The coat pictured here is one of those that may be copied exactly to advantage. It is of satin with long waist and flaring skirt, the fronts cut in one piece. Three cords are insert- ed near the bottom, giving the skirt its outward swing. The body is cut in one, with the sleeves and its ample fullness at the back gathered in where it is joined to the skirt. It is cleverly shaped in at the neck by means of cords inserted in shir- rings. The neck and revers are fin. ished with a narrow fringe of ostrich flues and malines, and the sleeves with plaiting of malines beaded with two rows of cording like that at the bot- tom of the coat. ‘The coat is lined and interlined, and T would hardly be possible to build a gown on simpler lines than those which appear in the soft and elegant dress, of much distinction, which here does honor to its designer. Over a skirt, straight and full, of crepe de chine there is a tunic of fine net bor- dered with the sheerest of plaitings. And over this again a wide flouncing of the filmiest black Chantilly lace laid in two folds about the hips. There is a bodice, which could not be simpler in outline, of the crepe, opening in a “V” at the front and back and without sleeves. It is over- laid with the Chantilly lace and has sleeves of this lace over white net. If the designer had stopped at this point he would have achieved a gown of quiet and. elegant character, at which one would look twice. But it would not have possessed the brilliant distinction of his finished product, which rivets the attention. For the sake of sparkle and life a garniture of crystals and rhinestones has been added to the already charming robe. The bust and arm’s-eye are outlined with a border of fine net edged with rhinestones. Strands of crystal beads depend from it and hang to the walst line, where they are caught up under Satin Coat of French Design Beads in a Lovely Party Gown THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., JAN. finished at the back with sash ends that terminate in flat rosettes. | Narrow borders of fur might be sub- stituted for the ostrich feather fringe, | and the sleeves and skirt bordered with wide bands of fur. Coats very | similar to this in outline have been ' made of heavier materials and trimmed with fur. The skirt appears only of moderate ' length because of the long waist line. ' But the garment is long, graceful, at- | tractive and comfortable. And it is distinctly original and new in design. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Simple Blouses.

A blouse : of this sort of dark green daphne silk | over white has a kimono facing of black satin, and within this a facing of equal width of white satin, The blouse crosses in kimono fashion at the bust and a single snap fastener holds it in place. The rather severe neck finish is becoming because of the softness of the materials. i a velvet girdle. A second fall of crys- tals extends from the waist to the first fold in the lace tunic and a third from this fold to the lower one. Two rows of the crystals are festooned about the lower edge of the sleeve. A final touch of the artist is seen in gathering the skirt in slightly about the feet. A gown that follows so closely clas- sic lines of drapery need not concern itself with passing vagaries of style. It is of a character to be always pleas- ing. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Starched Tudor Collars. Collars are very uncertain. They follow the lead of Cromwell, Raeburn, or Romney, Medici, or Mary Stuart.

There i8 nothing to prevent the girl who is handy with cardboard and paste from making one of those little, fascinating telephone houses with the cunnning clock above and the glass door in front, writes Helen Howe in the Washington Star. The bottom of the floor should be of : wood about ten inches square and the ,slde walls of stiff cardboard to the sloping roof twelve inches high. The walls in the back and front, v ch come up to a point, are fifteen inches , high, and the roof in two pieces should connect these walls and be So much for the foundation. The next thing is to cover all these pieces upon one side with cretonne, brocade, velvet, tapestry, or any sim- flar goods, cutting each piece large enough to turn over the edges for one- quarter of an inch. This will be the The lining harmonizing with the outside covering. | This too is cut a little larger than the place it is to cover to enable the When all the pieces are in readiness paste down the lining and put the house to- Cut out (before putting together) a space in the front wall for the door. As it is not always convenient to get glass cut, I suggest the home house- builder should substitute doors of the wall covering for the glass. There could be two doors opening from the middle of the house, and a brass ring screwed into each will be both handy and decorative. This arrangement will be much easier to accomplish than the glass, and will be quite as pretty. The doors could be put on with ribbon hinges. I would suggest hanging a telephone number list inside one door and a dainty pad and pencil on the other, when everything connected with a telephone would be complete, A lit- tle space is left in the wall at the back near the floor to allow the wire to pass through. It a small clock is thought neces- sary, a small round of the wall can be cut away and a cheap watch hung upon the inside. There is, however, FhEPTe WWWM Homemade Telephone Booth. the suggestion of substituting a card bearing in gilt letters “The Chat Chateau” for the watch. This would make it individual. Should one be compelled to buy all fastened with all sorts of brooches and pretty pins, the more old-fashioned the better. All the summer through, the fronts of the bodices have displayed the prettiest lace and the prettiest diaphanous muslin. The latest idea is a large starched linen fichu collar on wires, suggestive of Tudor days. the materials, one yard of cretonne 36 inches wide should be allowed and the same quantity of India silk for lining. Cardboard {s inexpensive, and so is paste, but T admit the mak- ing will take time and patience.
