The bodice has a deep co.ar mad® of three pleces, one shorter than the other; each plece is edged with a narrow band of black velvet and through the center of each plece are small dots made of silk or by sewing on a small black bead. The stock and vest are of white. The bodice fastens a little to the left with a jeweled buckle. The belt is of the white with the velvet and the tiny beads. The skirt is pleated and without trimming. A word about these new skirts. In the cloth they are apt to be a trifle heavy unless carefully made, clumsy. ‘iney a great deal of material and the woman whose gowns must wear longer than one season would better think twice before having one made. In summer gowns it 1s perfectly safe to follow the style; those which have to be laundered often are the only exception. In the soft and dJark ginghams the 1 skirts are a good investment. Back to the black and white effects. A tea gown in the empire princesse effect, made of black satin with an underdress of stripped black and white silk trimmed with bands of white guipure lace, looks well on a tall woman. The yoke is out- lined with the lace and the sleeves are covered with bands of it. A sash of soft, black satin with chenille fringed ends is tied over one arm and falls to the floor. The stocks to be worn with the biack and white shirt walsts or any shirt are many and pretty. One of the newest ig of biack satin, embroidered with siiver beads, and has long ends of lace which are pleated to the stock and are aeld in Hats AND Gowns From ATY OF PARIS. ... e R CREAM APPLIQUE- WHITE SATIN HEAVILY APPLIQUED N BLACK - place by a silver buckle.
