SMART COSTUMES.
Odd and Striking Effects Aimed at and Rich Fabrics Exploited.
The bolero and Eton coat in modified forms are seen on many of the season's smartest costumes. Illustrated here is a handsome suit in duvetyn, the new fabric which is all the rage in Paris. The gown is carried out in taupe, the revers of the coat being faced with white.
As a finish to tailor made coats the waistcoat of some vivid contrasting color, with lining to match, is smart.
Afternoon gowns, which are short, are made of supple velvets, charmeuse and chiffon and of silk crapes and crepons. Some are copied from old Florentine pictures of the fifteenth century. Flowing and looped up draperies and quaint stiffened panniers are seen, and the flounces on some skirts are arranged in so eccentric a fashion as to be indescribable.
Ecru lace tunics partially gathered distinguish some black satin evening gowns. White net embroidered in silver hyacinth over pink charmeuse was used for one lovely trained evening gown, the wide armholes of which are the vogue for the coming season, being outlined with diamonds and suspended with coral and crystal tassels.
