For evening wear with white dresses Louis X1V coats of flowered or striped silk are gaiping 'in favor. These are quaintly cut with double breasted points on the bust, a soft, full bodice showing below. Owners: of old fashioned earrings are finding new use jor them by con- verting them nto hatpins. Cameos, onyx of various tints, cornelians and other stones mounted in gold make handscme hat anchors. Becowning flower toques for youthiul faves are made of forget-me-nots. One designed for a prety blonde had a full crown of white cloth and a brim of the forget-me- nots. On the left side was a whité aigreite, ' Pocket books, card cases, hand bags, and feminine belongings in leather of the latest designs ave dull finished and green tinted, with mountings in gold of a bright hue. A jewel or two adorns the most expe nsive and elabor ate specimens. A pretty waist for afternoon wear is composed of Etrips of embroidered and sequined not and black velvet ribbon an inch wide. It is made over & silk crepe lining. It has a small hab- it basque and fow cut collar; all the edges being fiiished with tiny irills of black pleated chiffon. Indication 'of the coming fashions point unquestionably to the fact that the most attractive evening dresses are to be made with lace and chiffon ckirts, and Louis XIV bodices of bro- cade, the shoulders of these tu be held with fichus, and deeked with ribbons, the fastening down the front to twinkle with dinmond buttons.

Loosely knoted ties of soft silk are used to give a touch of color to street Maes, This is artistically shown in a gown of willow green panne, whose short Belero is trimmed with scroll work of cloth of tambonr mus lin on the shoulders, with a pale hine silk scart tied loosely beneath it and peeping in front, a clever mode giv ing a tiny bit of color. A noticeable feature In the change of evening gowns' is in the sleeve. Last year the tight lace 'sleeve seem ed to have it all its own way; this year 'the sleeves to the Louis XIV. dresses are, of course, of silk, turned back above the elbow, and decorated with frills of lace, while sleeves to chiffon and lace gowns ave invariably formed of frilly from shoulder to el bow, gathered roundwards.
