The season able fancy blouses one sees at after noon teas, recitals, matinees, and at evening muslcales and benefits, are even more beautiful than the earlier models. Some time ago I predicted the ad vent of the sheer, almost transparent, hand-embroidered linen blouses worn over silk slips, either white or delicate ly colored. The latest of these are simp ly exquisite, and show to best advant age with a closely fitted, trailing black velvet skirt. Mrs. Lydig, formerly Mrs. "W. E. D. Stokes, Countess Festetics and dozens of the Modishes affect these stunning black velvet tailor-made gowns, with which they wear exquisite bodices. A woman who frequents Sherry's at the luncheon hour, and who is most artistic and original in the choice of her gowns, has a novel blouse of heavy white lace, over which delicate and tiny pink roses are strewn. These are made of thin silk with yellow centres, and each is no larger than a dime. A few silver paillettes are also wov en Into the fabric with good effect. In cut, the bodice was plain and tight fitting, but had a front and puffs above the wrist of white tucked chiffon, silver spangled. From the full chiffon vest the lace fell away in small revers edged with rosebuds. The latest material for these dressy waists is Irish crochet, with batiste medallions and chiffon and hilk roses, buds and vines appliqued upon it. It seems like painting the lily to garnish Irish crochet, especially with the mod est batiste, but the result is good. It will doubtless be favored, because It is costly; a blouse of this sort costs about a hundred dollars. French knots and odd hemstitchings and inser tions on bilk are quite the rage. Yokes, blouses and even entire robes are literally covered with these tedious French knots, while tuckings have tak en on the most wonderful shapes. A pale blue silk mull h; tucks all over it, so tiny as to cause wonder how anyone ever had the patience to do them. They run, too, in every direction, and still the blouse fits beautifully. This model has a collar of tucked inch squares. The yoke is of alternate lace and tucked bits of the same size. The fulness below is of the finely plaited mull. The tucks from the un der arm run diagonally to the front waist line, and from the middle bust up and down to a depth of perhaps two inches, where they change abrupt ly and become horizontal to the belt. The sleeves are even more eccentric Blouses have never before shown such laborate and careful workmanship. Some of those worked out in silver gray are particularly effective. So many women find gray becoming. This is particularly true In regard to the more modish members of our best families, with whom elegance and simplicity are synonimous terms. Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt, Mrs. George Vanderbilt and Mrs. "Harry" Lehr are partial to gray In all Its delicate shades, and with a touch of black in combination. The advance spring blouses shown prove that gra.ss and silk linens, from the co.irse, scratchy quality to the dainty, veil-like and finely woven, are to be again popular. The newest are much trimmed, and always have lace combined with them in some way. One of the most delicate quality has box plaits from top to bottom outlined In the heaviest iKtssible Russian lace. It Is odd how the tendency to unite coarse and fine material continues to Increase. At first it was crepe de chine and cloth, then chiffon and fur, tulle and fur, and white lace and black velvet; and now the rule, if any, seems to be the coarsest trimming with goods of finest quality, and vice vfSje- A tine white net blou.J?made over silk has heavy black velvet anemones worked over Its surface in trailing ten drils. The design is wide at the shoulders and narrow toward the belt. A peculiar new sleeve is a feature of many of these new blouses. It has a fulness let in from above the elbow, just at the back, and Is caught again into the sleeve about three Inches above the cuff. Old-fashioned watered silk is to be in favor again this spring. Some of the wide-shouldered shirt waists of this material are very pretty, trimmed with small crocheted buttons In clus ters; but this style always seems to me too old for a young girl. All sorts of moire are shown at the shops in becoming shades. The yellows are especially good. Another singular thing about the waists at present is that those of wash able materials are as expensive, if not more so, than those of silk. There is more work on them, to be sure, but it does seem rather like re versing the natural order of things. Lady Modish in Town Topics. ,a ,a a, ft" 7? "t" Benjamin F.
