It would be more atig s tractive to make the overdress of plain or dotted swlss, edged with lacar or with narrow ruffles, and drape thiftl : over with a skirt made of plain swisal or mull and trimmed with many smallr- ruffles or with several rows of ruffle* edged with lace. A still more, sitnplor plan would be . to buy threes or four yards of thin embroidered flouncing and make the lower skirt of that. Yot* will find, however, that good swisal flouncing of such width costs a good* deal, although It is very beautiful^ -and narrow ruffles of swlss cost next/ to nothing, while pretty imitations of Valenciennes lace are inexpensive*---- Washington Star. ^ j •i ~ l: JACKETS OF COLORED SILK# Tulip-Effect Skirt. nations that are now in vogue.

One must be an artist to know how to mingle colors effectively, so that you will find it much more simple to drape a full chiffon or voile overskirt above a silk skirt. It is also fashionable to make the overskirt of flowered taffeta draped over a skirt of plain taffeta of the same general color scheme, as, for instance, rose- colored taffeta where roses form the color plan of the overdress.

The new corsets made of three thicknesses of chiffon are boned with transparent composite reeds ajad fastened with backalite clasps.

Anoiiiei innovation is the taffeta cor­ set made of pastel-tinted or pompa­ dour-flowered silk to match the elabo­ rate plaited and ruffled petticoats of the season. The corsets are to be worn beneath the thin summer dresses without any camisole and with merely a net under- biodlce to veil their charms. Cbrsets of silver cloth, while they were very much used during the win­ ter, are not shown for summer, and upon the whole the silver lace cami­ soles to be worn under evening dresses of black and colored tulle are rather more chic. But the line of the corset top, tiie thick portion of the camisole and the upper edge of the bodice or girdle are idefitica! and the fashion for the very close-sheathed figure, espe­ cially at the waist line, tends to elimi­ nate all unnecessary layers of ma* terial, be they ever so fragile.

Pussy willow and soiree are perhaps the best, but they are rather expensive and a great many of the imported capes are of taffeta, which, with modeling, achieves moat tbewltchiug effects.
