WOOL (HAND VELVET .COSTUME FROM HARPER'S BAZAR ‘
Wool and Velvet Costume.
All through the winter as well as
the spring and summer wool costumes
are considered the smartest for street
wear, and it is surprising to see how
many different fashions are continually
appearing which are, each and all, dis
tinctive. Just at present the long po-
lonaise or redingote effect is more in
favor than the short blouse which has
been so much the style for some months.
Another point about the new gowns is
that they are most elaborately trlmmed,
either with braiding, fur, or velvet.
One gown which is exceedingly becom-
ing and effective is made of cloth of a
da1k gray color. The skirt is of
medium length, and is trimmed With
machine-stitchmg and a darker: shade
of velvet.

The waist has double revers’
rShoulders. These are of velvet of
avery much deeper shade. The front
of the waist is extremely odd, made
with a shaped plastron of the cloth
which is so cut as to give long and be-
coming lines to the figure. This is a
desirable feature, and one not always
easy for the amateur dress-make1 to
attain, and here the cut tissue pape1

very useful. The belt is of velvet,‘ and
the collaris also of velvet, while at the

tips. Any dull effect the velvet might
have is obviated by being lined with
white satin. The. buttons are of‘velvet,
and the way in which the. velvet is put
on the skirt is decidedly new and quite
unlike anything that has been seen be-
fore.
