I saw a lovely evening costume in damask,
a straw-colored ground with old rose and
blue Cowers, richly garniturcd with lace
and ribbons. It will be surmised from the
engraving that the low bertha was very rich,
and it will be seen that it has high epaulets
of lace and bows. There is also a lace
front over a colored transparency,, caught up
with bows, while below straight ribbons con
tinue to the edge of this lace lront In some
of these elegant evening costumes the
deep lace bertha ends each aide of the "VYat
teau pleat and cascades beneath it to a
point below the waist.
The Watteau pleat grows more and more
popular. It is seen everywhere, from ele
gant deshabille to ball dress. In the latter
case it often consists of a light gauze
draperv, either embroidered or spangled,
and falling from the shoulders with lovely
eflect. The delightful little sleeveless

it you must wear a Byzantine cirdle, pas
inp it under the Watteau fold. If you don't
care for the Wattean fold, then there is still
leit lor your choice the Pompadour drapery
or the embroidered Russian skirt.
Japanese effects are much used for 'tea
gowns and interior dresses. Still another
charming effect may be attained by the use
of the satin bow, with ends reaching almost
to your feet, the boy. being artistically set
upon the lelt shoulder exactly in the spot
where your left wing will spring forth
when your sweetness and eoodness become
sufficiently developed to transform you into
an angeL " Flokette.
Tonne Girls and Jewelry.
It is in America alone that the matter of
jewels would be likely to come up for con
sideration in a young girl's toilet Ex
cepting a string of small pearls, or some
dainty brooch miniature affixed to a band
of velvet around the throat, ornament
of the kind is almost unseen in full dress
among the really well-bred people hereto
fore alluded to.
Indeed, it has been recently a fashion
amounting to a fad among girls fortunate
in round, white, well-covered necks and
throats, to omit every vestige of jewelry on
the person (and to have no ornament in the
hair, if a tiny band or bow of ribbon be
not suffered to nestle in those silken soli
tudes). Cheap jewelry, masquerading in
the guise of real; the thousand and one
bow-knots and rhinestone pins, and false
enamel trinkets that now critter in the shop
windows and their adoption among maid
servants and shop girls are no doubt re
sponsible for the forsaking of much that is
fascinating and appropriate for wear in the
goldsmith's art
French Knacks or Dress.
The French woman excels all other wo
men in her attention to the details of dress.
She will live on one meal a day, if neces
sary, to save -the money to always have
neat shoes and gloves. Her dress may be of
cheap material, but no dirt spots are
allowed to stay on it, no buttons are left to
dangle for want of a timely thread, and she
never wears shabby shoes or gloves.
A Neir Yorker, just home from abroad,
attended a ieadressed in a Parsian gown
and bonnet. She destroyed the whole effect
of her costume by wearing a pair of shoes
that looUed as weatherworn as a cobbler's
sign. She was not brilliant enough to de
tract attention from her clothes. .Any wo
man can ill afford to wear shabby shoes and
gloves. Even the interesting woman with
thoughts more attractive than dress will
not be less charming if perfectly booted and
gloved.
