GLAN ge IR CES IN FROM OLD LONDON PLEASANT TO HAVE SOMETHING NEAT IN RESERVE, Women's Outer Garments Have -Re- solved Into Uniforms In London, and Quiet, Homelike Frocks Are Much in Demand. Themselves london, April 12 ous times when so busily engaged during the hours of the day iu various of charity, and when outdoor tumes resolve themselves automatical- ly into those simple coats and skirts which have a become a uniform, it is plepsant to have fresh and neat 'in reserve it of an afternoon gown which , slipped into quite easily at tea time A frock of this kind will useful also for quiet evenings at home, especially just now, the time formerly given to bridge is so often devoted to knitting the socks and belts which are still required in their hundreds, if not thousands, for our soldiers at the tront Some suggestigns are giver graceful little frocks which suitable for indoor wear in afternoon. The first gown was car ried out in -brocaded 'crepe de chine of a fairly substantial kind, and chosen in a soft shade of lilac, patterned with a conventional design 'in self coloring. The bodice is made in the new long shape, and is cut in one with a deep hip-yoke, which is slight ly draped round the figure. In many women these strenn are be Very spent which for two be the would very ¥rill Of Cream Lace, A. cascade frill of cream lace passes down the front of the bodice and eon veals the buttons with which it is fastened. Thig cascade is continued on the skirt, dod there is a frill of lace to mateh at the hem of the long tunic which falls in graceful folds over a plain, but faidly full, underskirt. The Medici collar and the ruffles at the elbows are of cream lace to cor- respond. Satin charmeuse in a dark shade of gapphire blue is the material chosen for the other gown and in this oase also the skirt is arranged with a very long tunic. The broad sash is of pale grey satin, swathed closely round the figure and tied with two long ends at the back. - What of the blouse in' the general. campaign of alteration that is being | effected in the modes of gpringtime ? ?1s it, too, to be changed ?. Indeed it though' many of the old attrae- tions are being retained.and some re- vivald of favorite designs allowed to lapse from use are being reinstated. One of the prettiest tailor-made and a design quite "possible" and not at all of an exaggerated appearance was made of marine-blue suiting.

The lining of the coat was 'thin white foulard patterned with a "big linked-ring design in black, and the blouse was of the floppy order and | was made of foulard piped round the armholrs to "Araw attentitn to the | sleeves. which were made 'of dark blu chiffon, very fine and quite clear, So clear, indeed, that on each arm could be seen distinctively above the | elbow the gleam of a plain gold ban- gle.

Some 'of the newest are made with boudoir caps strips of heavy bro- | cade mounted on a lace or net foun- dation. The brocade usually used is not of decided color, A dainty cap is made of gold net, with a band of brown and gold brocade across the top of the cap, from ear to ear. Two points, wired to flare out, of gold lace, relieve the heayiness of the bro- cade, as does also a little frill of nar- row 'gold lace about the face A pink velvet rose is fastened on the back of the cap.

They have long sleeves and sometimes the fronts are scalloped The Useful Sailor. Everyone is glad that the sailor shape is in evidence in spring millin- ery. Many hats there are of pic- ture type, poke shapes, too, that are vastly becoming. But for general wear nothing is so smart as the sail- or, It will probably be worn a good deal' when warmer weather comes Sheer Fichus. The fichu has many advocates this spring. There are some pretty frocks of taffeta, with hemstitched fichus of the sheerest muslin. Many lingerie frocks have ruffled fichus draped about the rhoulders. And even some evening frocks show this quaint ad- junct. Lacy Fabrics. There is sume difficulty about get- ting imported laces owing to the war. But there is no difficulty in gett'ng lack and sheer fabrics. There 1s lace cloth, for instance, a fabric with all the sheerness and irregularity of surface of all-over lace, yet with a good deal of body and strength. -------------- New Neckwear Devices, Ever since the first revival of the Medici collar, which returned definite- ly to favor now more than a year ago, new devices have continually been brought out in. the way of neck- wear. In fact, at the present moment ruffles and collars of all sorts and descriptions are move popular than ever. No tailor-made coat seems complete. without the introduction of some kind of collar in. lawn or or- gandie muslin. The soft mass of white near the face, too, ie so generally becoming that this fashion for dainty neckwear is one of those which have most cer- tainly come to stay. Some novel collars were represented a few days ago which will be = use- ful not only for wearing with tailor- made gowns, bul also as a means of beautifying even the smallest blouses, and lifting them at once out of the region of the commonplace. One of the collars was made in one with white revers, tied together i a--bow-of black satin rib- bon, and was carried out in fine white lawn: Another one was a very becoming collar made in organdie muslin and finelo embroidered in a dainty de- sign.
