IN FASHION'S REALM.

UP-TO-DATE NOTES ON WHAT TO WEAR. Not all aro elaborate. Here, for instance, is one that strikes the medium note. * It gives something of the shirt blouse, and yet is redeemed from over-plainness. This is through the vestee and collar. As you will

havo noticed, these vestces carry the collar which simulates a. turn-over from a separate article. To such we moved in winter, and now J see the idea is general. These crescent-like cuffs are favoured, and the yoke lino is useful for what is revealed. Dainti- | riess hall-marks blouse wear, simple or ornate. A beautiful costume l'or evening wear combines all-over lace with deep rose-coloured brocade. Latter makes the frame —swathed blouse, open front in heart form (lace), short sleeve capping other (lactf); skirt draped to knee with two "roses" to centre, an elongated "X" ol' lace, waist to loot; the brocade lines edged with pearl beading. Apart from materials, the y££l-Il ' s a ni, . u .'?! favoured oue for evening gowns. 'Tito dominating i'eaturo is given by poising a heart on an elongated "X," former the panel of the blouse, latter the panel of the skirt, the "X" formed by the way the main material is cut to it. and gathered at the meeting.

It may be nearly as wide as the shoulders, "V" neck with all-over lace, the material sides pleated on shoulder, crossed at waist, sleeves capping a lace undersleevo. But to attempt to deal with evening dresses in a paragraph is to waste time. Such gowns are in a class by themselves whether full evening or somi, and call for the picture in practically every instance.
