AUTUMN GOWN,
Here is the description of a newly
imported gown which would be charm
ing for autumn The material is a
moss-green taffeta The skirt has ten
small tucks around bottom and
eight more half-w ay between the waist
and hem, giving the appearance of an
overskirt; the upper part of the blonse
bodice is entirely covered with small
horizontal tucks, and over this, cut in
alow V at the neck,
bolero of white cloth, elaboratély em-
broidered with a Pgrsian design in
colored silks; this is cut up in an in-
verted V. At the waist back and
front the sleeves are of the green silk
and bave groups of small tucks at in
tervals from the shoulders to the
wrists,
Another recently made gown of
great ‘‘chie” of black grenadine
made up over black taffeta, with a sort
of overvestment of white guipure,
made over orange-colored silk, which
is open in front, both on the bodice
and on the skirt, the latter consisting
of tabs from the hips which are
separated from each other about a
foot, showing the folds of the black
grenadine between, This garment is
belted in &t the waist. The front of

black grenadine, made without lining,
gathered horizontally and ‘tight, and

A pretty “empiecement,” to fresher
ip the body of an old gown, is a
guipure yoke, which comes down to a
point to the waist back front,
with ‘jockeys’ from. the same piece
over the shoulders, all edged with a
tiny doubled ruffe of black chiffon,
worn with a colored taffeta collar and
belt. The effect of this
is really extremely pretty.
