A MELANGE Of VElVET , FUR AND LACE Some Splondlcl l > ffoet5Vhleb Cnn Uo I'ro- clnenel from InCJI\(1In'vo : \ ' ntorll,11I with the Adilitlon of little /rood ! Tnte. PARIS , Dec 22.-Speclal-Tho ( ) tea gowns from by French women are a melange of velvet , IIlIk mousseline , fur and lace : they are a. vehicle for colors richer than other dress shows , and they are a fascinating call- Junction of the prevailing style of other gowns , with the charms of the neglige. This species of afternoon drESS came across the channel , but has been molllf1el1. French women do not , like English , go In for long lines and dignity , nor at present for the skIrt In a long - tallcl ( queue ; calla lily effect are not to their taste. They break UII the , lines end sat frou Iron effects bcslcle solemn ones , and where the Idea was stateliness they prodllco the piquant , or os one might say , something typlflell ! by the fringed gentian. The French gown falls loose In front on,1 , back and clings to the figure at the sides : . IJ ' 4 .

ADMIRABLE MODELS. Several models IlIvllle the favor. One Is i an outer robe open down the front and open down the back over a.n Inner robe , so that It i lIDS the effect of beIng In two pIeces , the open space down front and back , some six or mora Inches wide. It Is fitted close at the sides , and the front and back edges arc Loose as they would b3 without darts , letting the full plaited Inner robe fall freely out Behind the hater robe forms a wattean and In front hangs loose or else Is crossed by a. belt over which It falls with an elTect of a blouse. Sometimes the outside robe Is t blgh-necked and sometimes It Is low with a wide collar turned over round the ahoulder r The collar In this case Is In two sections , like the robe , as It docs not cross the back. The materIal Is rich and heavy for the outer ; . portion , as velvet ? or gros grain , and for the Inside something more delicate ' To Illustrate this Idea can be happily cited a gown mane for the trousseau of the new princess \ [ - , whose wedding presents , valued at countless francs have been the talk of ParIs this weele. It Is of heliotrope velvet ' , bordered all around with sable , open over an Inner robe of heliotrope slllt , dee- "orated a. jour over yellow. The high neckband - band Is velvet with fur on the edge and the front Is belted to form a. bouffant blouse , Another Is of pompadour slllt In large ' bouquets , where red doonates ! on a. ground of gray , decollete over a. high Inner robe of nccordeon plaited moussellnc de sale , gra y " over rose The while shoulder collar Is covered - , ered with cream guipure over rose , and all the edges are bordered with fur. This model Is varied : by closing the baclt and making a. watteau plait In the velve The effect Is particularly good when the plait falls from under the wide collar of a decollete. I have seen a very beautiful one of deep violet velvet over -an Inner robe of gray slllt , on which were appliques of cream lace. In each corner of the velvet slllrt ut thc foot and In each corner of the collar was also a lace applique. Another style of gown dispenses with the : Inner robe and closes up to the throat In one pIece. It has tine - same fullness at back and front , which may bo In box on side plaits or gathers , and the same clinging at : the slde s . which may bo by plain fitting or by appilq Ing a. full outside down onto a close lining with passementl'rle. Such . a. gown of Nile green ! velvet has a. half corselet under the i ao i 1 1 i u 7 JSt ! * tiS S ' o7 E z > 4 Q c ' 7 s ' a 1 J1 fa r r v Y + } o 9' 4 y 4 \ \ ' \ Q ill IJs 1 1 _ , o arms , reaching from the fullness or the front , round to that of the back , In Oriental colors and mock emeralds.

NEW : 'l'nJMMINGS , The new ornamentation , called a Jour , so popular , needs a word or description It I seems to Lave no equivalent name In English , It Is an all.over pattern stamped out to leave the materIal lllerCfd with 11010 The fabric thus cut II laid over another color , which Is , seen through the holes , and the result Is an effective color contrut. When the materIal ' Is heavy , liB'CIvet or cloth , these patterns may have the - edge left raw , but In the case of a soft material ' , like foulard , the edges are button-holed. 1 , There arc'1o ! bt had In the shops some silks \ And Cloths thus ready cut Ilartlculllrly black , , but a jour ornament has become 10 much the ' : . ! _ _ iltJJ ! a , , , enable the amateur 10 1)0 It at borne. Little s tamping machines have been Invented , tur fishing n great variety or pattern ! ; they cost very IIttlo and are as easily hanl1lld as a pinking mschlnc Another new Ide : Is to cut patterns out of lace l and applique them on the gown 10 fill nil sorts of spael'J. Thus the velvet tea gown cited ! above , which has a triangular lace. fig- are fllllnl each corner of the front. This ruthless cutting up of taco might easily bo made expensive , but cheap laces can bo used with almost as much effect as costly ones. Coarse gulpllreR arc available for this purpose and imitations of various point laces Such amateur made trimmings have more beauty than the ready made ones supplied by the manufacturers To Illustrate the use of these trimmings Is a. house gown rondo with a blouse of Ilahlla silk and a skirt or dahlia velvet. The blome has the front and sleeves stamped out n Jour over cream , and the edges blltton-holel1. The skirl has each aide laid over In a. deep plait towards the front anll the front breadth so framed In has a triangular / ; nlllllqlle ! of cream taco In each of the lower corners. Another skirl for n house dress has two barllls of trim- ming down the mhlllle of thc front breadth that turn ( at the bottom each way and ; ass round the aklrt. This leaves two corners nt tile foot that are ailed with lace appliques IIIt1MIU'AST NlmLIGI . Morning : gowns are made or an eiderdown wo\'en wool with outer surface of silk np . parently Cullted. ( Ida not know the ( name' of this adorable material , but believe It Is available everywhere amt Inexpensive With the collar anti revere , and even the length of the loose Ilouble.breastell front , raced with long.halrel ) white Persian lamb , the effect Is ravlsldng Or It may be faced with a contrasting : color of silk. A yellow one with , narrow edges of sable would ] ho a success. They are made of flannel also , the front douhle.breasted and loose the back loose and flowing null the shIes close , ns In the tea gown. They arc button.holell with n pat- tern of largo palm or oak leaves , laid diagonally - agonally one after another , round the edge , the lear hair off and half on , malting a large scaloll. ! Instead of thIs embroidery they may ' he faced with lIatlnel of another color. They arc also made with a species of wing dra- , pery that Is plaited over the shoulder and ! falls long down the back. This Is effective when lined with a contrasting color. Another style or gown sllitable for wear all tiny In the house Is made after the Bernhnrllt mailer . It Is all In ono piece , the front hanging loose and ) gathered from a yoke , and the back , a bodice to which the gOlleted skirt back Is gathered on Make thl In seal brown velveteen , and round the waist put n gilt link belt with enamelled 1 or mock Jeweled bosses that fall loose nnd low In front , lace the close part of the sleeve UII to the elbow : on the Inside scam and let the sleeve be long on the hand and L make a. high collar that turns over all the way round , only let the points come under the hair behlnll , the collar being turned round to open nt the back , and pull the closed front , which flares a little , up high against tile chIn like a. hood.

The clothes of a Japanese lady , even or the highest rank , are home-made , and handed down from generation to generation.

They are seen simulating all manlier of flowers suspended from a Illn by a short chain. Large roses of satin antique are used to outline the round necks > of decolleto corRages Women with comely necks and shoulders are quick to grasp the artistic posslblllttes of this mode.
