For Dinner or Evening Wear—The Fashions and Etiquette of Flowers-A Popular Street Jacket. As a dinner gown or as a costume for general evening wear, the gown shown in the illustration may well be adopted. It is particularly becoming to young women, though not at all inappropriate for the middle aged. The material fcr the gown is black satin.

Tbe corsage is finished in wide revers of mandarin velvet trimmed with fanciful designs in jet. The front is of mandarin crepe de chine, gathered vertically.—New York Telegram. About Wearing Flowerc. Fashionable girls no longer have favorite flowers. Sentiment is sacrificed to style. Flowers for street wear must be chosen carefully. They must be inconspicuous blossoms and be worn only where fashion dictates. Roses should never be worn with a street costume. It is incorrect to wear on the street large bunches of any flower. Viok ts and valley lilies are the fashionable flowers of tbe moment for street wear. Tbe stems of the flowers should never be visible. They should be covered entirely by loops of ribbon. Violets should be worn fastened to the left shoulder, but tbe valley lilies may be pinned at the waist. It is bad form to wear a $5 bunch of violets with a shabby dress and a hat which has seen better days. It is equally bad taste to wear purple violets with a vivid red ureas. Whenever it is possible the flowers should harmonize with the coloring of the costume with which they are worn. Women should never carry large bunebes of flowers to the theater unless they are in evening costume and are to sit in a box. It is not good form for a woman to walk down the aisle of a theater carrying a bunch of flowers as large as a bridal bouquet. Women should never overdecorate their bair with flowers nor trim the corsage of their gowns so that it bears an unmistakable resemblance t<3 a flourishing flower garden. This Is Popular.

back just hits the waist line ami tits tight. The lining is drab satin. — Woman’s Home Companion. The New Collars and Stocks. The day for very fluffy collar decorations has closed, and the new neck finish is a narrow frill of lace or net across the back, only with two rosettes of the same crushed against the collar. The latter is a plain baud on a woolen gown, and often the same on a silk one, with a row of trimming at the top. Thin ma terials have a collar of the same goods in small tucks, and ribbon is folded in smooth rows, not loosely crushed as of yore. Collars are comfortably high, and white linen ones are worn with shirt waists of all kinds and with tailored gowns. Stocks of silk or satin have a smooth band with a bias piece from each side of the back tied in a neat bow in front or arranged in a long knot, but these are for the plainest gowns or waists. Long net, mull and china silk scarfs are worn in place of collars twice around the buck and towed in front with ends to the waist line.—Ladies' Home Journal The Office Boy's Romance.
