There are some sweet. little_shoee gowns trimmed with deep chenille netteel fringe, which looks extreme- ir. chic. bot strikes one as more suitable tor a reception costume than a street dress. I met a very smart and original skating frock at Prince’s. built in soft. dark brown satin cloth. the short hell skirt. edged with brown fur. two bands. at intervals. The dainty lit- tie Russian blouse was or brown plush.and it was turned back with wide rovers of cei-ise satin cloth. with strapping in white, laid on in lrattlements. the deep wide eutts carrying out the same idea. The coloring was exceedingly success- ful. especially as the crowning paint was a pretty toque "ot cer- Irie, with brown Tum-y tails tall- ing over one side.

The prettiest yet are those in gold or silver tissue, on the slender May Fair or Greek shape. Lace Over-dresses. There is a great furore at present for the lace or net "rourreau" or overdress, a loose. ethereal affair, very useful to slip on over a some- what fatigued evening costume, as it gives it an entirely new note and is very becoming to a slender figure especially. The back is much biased so that it is narrow between the shoulders. and much wider down be- low where it floats independently and gracefully over the umlerdresg, the decolletage is edged with small flowers. or coques of velvet or satin in some soft shades. or else a wide gold or silver ribbon is brought from under the arms and tied in a huge butterfly bow' in front. In black etusntilly over a jaded black or white satin, the effect is very chic and new. and would suit one of the pretty young Hamilton matrons. I saw a lovely "rourream" for example, in ivory Atmcon net over pink satin. in a delicate Fragonard tint, which was quite lovely, with a. long trail of the Queen of Mowers pinned at one side of the deep. square neck. and floating: down over the front of the shirt. Then a black lace over- eown had the short little bodice formed of two huge jet butterflies, at back and frmt, resting transparently on folds of cream mousseline de soie. Ivory satin composed the gown underneath. The only substantial (?) touch to these over-gowns is the frothy mass of pleated chiffon or net frills which sets out their hem all round.
