T 1? 12 THE COUP at if FASHION Let me describe one of the simplest gowns I saw, worn by a bud of last season. It was of pale blue chifftkn. The skirt wus tight to the knees, whence fell a perfectly voluminous ac eordeon pleated llounce en train. About the bottom of this were many ruchings of chiffon, producing an al most over-full-effect, particularly when its slender young wearer tried to carry it. At the top of the flounce were two lows of twisted ribbon wide pale blue Liberty. This ribbon was braided In and out with twisted chiffon, and was wonderfully pretty. One row was wfiere the llounce joined the skirt proper, .and the other was upon the skirt itself. They were about three inches apart. The bodice had a shirred sleeve about half-way between the el bow and shoulder. This was merely a scrap about two inches wide, showing the arm above as well as below. At the shoulder a wide ruching of the chiffon finished the arm-hole, and a large bunch of delicate, pinkish yellow roses fastened upon the left front of the bodice fell across the left shoulder, half over the ruching. The front and back of the bodice were accordeon pleated to match the llounce of the skirt, and both were cut quite low lower, I think, that the youthful gowns of last year. A bit of exquisite filet lace (which, by the bye, has be come most popular) peeped from the top of the bodice and fell in effective tabs almost to the waist line. The blt was of crushed satin ribbon, and end ed in two leng sashes, meeting at the top in a fine enamel buckle about the size of an ordinary brooch. All the gowns were of the richest materials. There were no organdies or modest little silks In evidence. They liave given piace entirely to the costly silk crepes. most delicately woven chiffons and tulles, fine thin satins, which fall oo gracefully, and the ex pensive laco -obts of Irish crochet and Cluny. Another noticeable innova tion is the tendency to wear flowers as trimming. A white silk net of conventional pat tern had a huge cluster of brilliant field popples trailing over the entire front of the bodice from the left shoul der. This costume was banded all over with heavy white satin ribbons about half an inch apart. The skirt had a Spanish flounce, also ribbon banded and side pleated. The bodice was low, and the sleeves of ribbon reached the elbow, finishing in a point ed ruTle of net, A coral necklace to matin the color of the popples was worn about the throat of this young matron, who was most attractive. This necklace was a work of art. In front there were three rows of the coral, pointed in shape, with a tiny drop of a pearl pendant from each bit of coral. These odd. Oriental necklaces are quite the rage. They are far more be coming than the usual one-strand necklace, and are more youthful than the collars of pearls. An Irish point gown worn by a ma tron who is still young was ravishing. It was elaborately garnished, bodice and sieves if one may call these mere suggestions of arm coverings sleeves with filet lace, appliqued in the most remarkable way. The skirt a slinging affair, very, very long had a gradu ated band of the filet lace set on in various sized squares, and not far from the bottom. The sash worn with this was of white satin outlined in delicate pink rosebuds and trailing stems. A handsome gown of Irish crochet was also worn by one of the younger girls, a debutante of this season. A renaissance, the pattern worked out tiny silver spangles had a back of black Chantilly let In most curiously. It looked as If woven with the white, so exquisitely was It fitted. It was wide through the centre of the back, and tapered from there to about half way down the long train, where It gradually widened again to the end. The black lace was not spangled. This gown was rather high In the neck, and had elbow sleeves very close-fitting. The front was Princesse. An old lady with lovely chestnut hair (one rarely sees white hair now adays, as it seems to have lost favor) wore a rich black velvet with wide point lace Insertions made over white. The bodice was very pretty and cut ex tremely low. The sleeves were entirely of lace. A necklace of solitaires and a lorgnette chain of diamonds were the only bodice jewels worn with this tos tume. A white brocaded satin, em broidered in white lamb's-wool, was much admired. This latter odd and new trimming was highly favored by certain modistes, who had It on all the gowns they produced an error of judgment, I should say, that must have proved very trying to their pa trons.

Julius Bauer came to this country nearly forty years ago, to reap the benefit of the ad vertising of tjje Bechtstein Piano, by Ruben stein, who was playing it in concert in this country at that time. He was reasonably suc cessful.but soon discovered that the German made piano case would not stand this climate, so decided to begin the manufacture of an American piano, built on up-to-date, American principles, containing the musical qualities of the Bechtetein, using the Bechtstein as his model. The result is the beautiful Bauer Piano of todayt which is conceded by the severest tone critics in America to be second to no other piano in existence. Daring Julius Bauer's life the piano was made only for his own retail trade, but since his death the field of the Bauer Piano has been greatly widened through the efforts of his son, Wm. Bauer, who is one of the ablest and most conscien tious piano builders of this day and age, and isnow bandied and marketed by a large num ber of the most prominent and best posted dealers of the country.
