In the d esc rip lion this sounds too Involved and complicated to be really smart, but If successfully carried out. the fashion Is most effective, and makes a waist seem much smarter and more el»b orate than tf merely finished In the regulation style of such long standing as has been the fashion for several Trimmings are to be carefully considered In theme latest fashions. Braid lug and embroidery are all-important Items to be considered. The narrow soutache braid, being still the most popular, is used in many different designs in straight lines and In Intricate patterns. The same shads of color or one shads lighter or darker gives the smartest effect—a contrast la color be tween braid and material not being popular. A ten pongee of the heavy quality Is extremely smart braided elaborately with the seme color soutache. A queer shade of raspberry pink has bands of plain taffeta or Unan with an elaborate braiding In soutache of the same shade, but the trimming Is only seen on the sleeves and the front of the coat The skirt la quite plat* On the la* or natural color the braiding Is both on the back and front of the coat, on the sleeves end around the bottom of the skirt. Braiding or bands of chiffon Is one of the popular i rimmlngs that Is effective, end Is used on the long coats end cloaks as well as on the princess end empire styles. The walifc'oaU, collars and fronts of the new coats also provide an excellent opportunity for the elaborate braiding, and often the waistcoat Is the most expensive part of the entire

costume.

Tailor-Mades with Trains. Afternoon costumes are a new departure In picturesque end superlative chic styles. They ere specially designed for the wearer on the same principle that great portrait painters Insist on choosing the character of gown to b«? worn by the sitter. These costumes hsve long trailing skirts, long tunics, or long skirted coats that take tunic Hues. They fly open from the shoulders. For the present season they have been of chiffon cloths and liberty satins, mingled with Greek nets, while later the seme modish nets and lined or floe dock may be combined.

Midsummer Predictions. Long sleeves ere making gradual headway and It It advisable to have a few summer dresses made with them. The heavy Diet laces gain constantly tn popularity and have quite super seded the Irish and Venlse. Very smart colored effects are this year obtained In the dotted swlaaes. Cluny lace, the color of the dot. Is combined with the swlsa and the dress Is worn over a slip of self color or white. 81 raw colorings, pongee shades and other light yellow tones are much sought In cotton stuffs.
