NEW YORK CITT, May 3. One
sees some very smart toilets now at
fashionable at homes, and at studio
teas.
Among the Paris novelties recently
sent over for such occasions Is a white
French veiling, very much trimmed
with white silk renaissance rings.
Through these rings narrow silk strips
are, passed and repassed, quite to the
bottom of the skirt. This trimming Is
suspended from the front of the bodice,
just at the bust, and Is finished with
small tassels of white silk. The skirt
Is extremely close to the figure, and
.shows the silk rings In the flounce
trimming.
The back of the bodice is rather
unique, being a series of graduated
strips of silk alternating with the rings
through which the silk is passed. This
effect is carried out to the belt line,
'where the rings, which are about the
size of a dime, stand out and hang
, loosely over the narrow taffeta girdle.
The front of this chic bodice is loose,
showing the same scheme of trimming
as the back.
A charming Corne model seen at a
.recent studio tea was. of pale flowered
pink silk organdie, very much hem
stitched instead of trimming. The
'back of the skirt had an almost im
perceptible group of tucks at the top,
but save for this, was entirely tight
ening. A wide spreading flounce fin
ished the skirt at the bottom, and this
was effectively trimmed with three
Inch Irish crochet insertion. The
Bkirt proper also had this lace out
lining the gores. The bodice was com
pletely covered with fancy hemstitch
ing, through which gleamed the lust
rous pale pink silk over which the
entire costume was made. The full
ness of the front blouse was gathered
into a wide crushed silk girdle, ending
in long bias tabs in the back. The
sleeves were elbow length, and had
graduated flounces of the hemstitch
ing by way of trimming. Long black
gloves were worn with the toilette, and
a black picture hat with magnificent
plumes.
A delicate green etamlne, made up
with black lace, was very pretty, and,
in this instance, black silk mlts were
worn with the three-quarter Bleeves.
A black tulle hat, foliage trimmed,
and having a rare black lace scarf
hanging almost to the waist in the
back, completed the outfit.
The chlffon-and-flower fancy muffs
are not so much In evidence as I
thought they would be earlier In the
season. They are a nuisance to carry,
and are extremely perishable. Indeed,
a chiffon affair, worth fifty or sixty
dollars, may be ruined in one after
noon, if the day turns stormy, as these
April days have a way of doing. The
dampness is almost, if not quite, as
destructive, and they look so dowdy
when they a"re limp that no woman of
taste will carry them.
It is the same with boas, but some
how they are regarded as more of a
necessity. One always has several on
hand, and always new ones ordered.
Spring is not spring without them. The
French models are the favorites at
present. These are in most instances
made over a very small cape-like
foundation, and the flounces or plait
ings lay down and over the shoulders,
instead of standing up ruche-like aout
the face, as did the popular model of
last season. They are perhaps not so
becoming, but they are newer. The
front tabs which finish the new boas
and ruffs are longer than ever, ex
tending almost to the bottom of the
gown.
Rose petals are a popular ornamenta
tion for the more elaborate and costly
ones, being manufactured expressly for
this purpose. -

A well-known New York house has
just turned out a dark blue canvas
veiling costume of surprising originali
ty. It is trimmed with blue lace, and is
blue throughout. The bodice and the
top part of the skirt are entirely of
lace a species of Cluny dyed to ex
actly match the material. The bottom
of the skirt spreads out, and has
squares of the lace with hemstitched
edges let in over its surface at fre
quent intervals. There, is a short lace
sash or double tab in the back, and
tabs of the same sort on the sleeves,
finishing the cuff which confines the
full puff. The neck ruff which goes
with this gown is of a grayish blue
moussellne de sole, made in large loops,
which fall over the back and shoulders
and narrow down perceptibly to the
knees, where many small knots form a
pretty finish to the very simple but ef
fective boa.
Some particularly handsome cos
tumes were seen at Lakewood last
week. Mrs. George 'Gould, who always
dresses beautifully, rather led In this
regard, with her guests as close rivals.
Many of them wore elaborate toilettes,
entirely of white, jewels alone being
depended upon for color.
One guest at a leading hotel occas
ioned remark by wearing a long gold
chain, on which the largest pieces of
turquoise matrix I have ever seen were
hung at irregular Intervals. The chain
reached almost to the woman's feet,
and was in bold relief against the
blackest of black gowns. Fortunately
it was the "only ornament she allowed
herself on this occasion.
- It seems to me there Is occasion for
protest on the subject of jewels. The
craze for ornamental gems has grown
beyond the realm of good taste. It
will probably correct itself, however,
since the Gwendolines and Maries of
our kitchens and laundries are disport
ing themselves with large pearls in
their ears and plated necklaces In exact
imitation of our own.
But we Modishes have one cause for
congratulation. It is that the rare and
costly laces, so charming and fashion
able, cannot be imitated. Even the men
can tell the difference at a glance.
