One of his latest crea- tions is a myrtle-green velvet dolman cape for a matron. Down square panels that are united at the back h pointed ends; these drop from the vaist, and are frilled with black satin.

In the same play this actress looks well in a costume of green cloth with revers and front of lace. The high collar is of velvet. A swathed band of velvet and a buckle complete it. Wonderiully attractive and numerous are the white net robee, richly bejeweled, that are being admired, mounted over white or colored satin in preference to any other fabric, Many matrons prefer tha exquisite em- broidered satins. One of maize color I greatly admire is elaborately embroidered in brilliants and pearis. Round the hips is an applique of cream satin.

In fact, for the sum of $20 quite wonderful resu may be achieved it you can find the s ful little dressmaker who sews and fits well and goes out by the day, for, by assisting her, the cost of making amounts to almost nothing, I have been told. | However, I have been repeatedly assured that such a aressmaker is a myth and that home-dressmaking is a mistake, so I | refrain from making suggestions, as all | depends upon the individual case. | One of our most beautifully gowned | 11- belles has the skirts of all her gowns made | by a woman who has built up a large busi- | ness here because her skirts give such sat- | isfaction. Her charges are from $3 to $5,but | all the bodices worn by my pretty girl are will do foradozen evening frocks. The | dress skirt proper rarely costs for making | more than $3 and the bodice from §5 to $7. The extras are the most expensive 1‘ems | usually, but by purchasing judicionsly nalf a dozen evening frocks of organay or | muslin, lace-trimmed, built over silk and adorned with the necessary ribbons, | should not amount to over §100, which is | certainly a modest sum. | I am of course now considering the voung debutante, who must attenda nu- | merous teas, dinners, dances, etc. For spe- cial occasions she should possess a hand- | some avening frock, and hesides her mod. have of wearing gloves smelling strongly of lucine, but some will continue to do this, strange as it seems to most of us. For matrons who go out constantly and | yet can afford but few dresses, perhaps a kirt of handsome black satin that can be worn with ornamental waists is the wisest purchase, but the bodices, to be in good taste, should all be combinations of black and white, according to my 1deas, as the gayer waists serve to cut the matron in half with disastrous results, If her figure is short and her hips large. Madame Matron should likewise have a well-hang white alpaca skirt, for with it many dainty waists can be donned, and this season, if possible, she should have for iarge dinner parties & white satin toilet.

She had quitea time trying to manage it properly, and the remem- brance of her remarks concerning that train explains my words of caution. A Driving Coat and Capes. Not a few of our matrons are exce:lent whips, and quite enjoy driving for miles when staying at their extensive ranches or country homes, 80 for their benefit I will describe first an excellent driving coat made in a box cloth of a drab tone. The strappings are of scarlet cloth. The sleeves and pockets are treated in a curi- | ous way, as far as the strappings are con- | cerned, and round the wrists are seven rows of stitching. The revers are of a sensibie size and the collar moderate. I bave been reading about a new fabric for liring which is declared to give the waist “that much-desired tailor-like fit," not to fade, change color or crush, and it is to be had in Roman stripes. Ii it really possesses all these qualities we will doubi- less hear more concerning it later on. On either sids> are three appropriate buttons for ornaments only, as the coat fastens invisibly under a tly down the middle.
