BORDURES IN VOGUE

SHOPS ARE SHOWING ABUNDANCE OF THESE MATERIALS. Veilings, Chiffons and Cotton Textures Respond Most Beautifully to Ornamental Banda—Pretty Kimono Waist With Princess Skirt.' Bordered materials are to have’ an Immense vogue this summer, and they are already seen tn abundance in the shops. The veilings, chiffons and cotton textures respond most beautifully to these highly ornamental bands, for such goods, while needing some trimming or other, are hard to be suited with garnitures. The bands now woven at one side or both of the goods suggest striped satin ribbons, Spanish laces and the odd arabesques of Indian decorations, and some of the borderlngs show a riot of the richest color. Again, threads of blaek or a heavy black band will be run along the most delicate tints, these giving the materials a very Frenchy look. Along with these handsome new things there are counters and counters of thin textiles all of which have been greatly reduced, as they belong to the winter supplies and do not show the latest touches. Nevertheless, these bargain goods are most desirable, as It is an easy enough matter to supply the effect of a band of ribbon, satin or velvet, and in point of weight and coloring they do not in the least suggest cold weather materials. Of course the between-season gown calls tor a new hat. and even with the winter one headgear must be lightened now to seem tn accordance with prevailing tastes. So here are spring hats with us, and such spring hat|H— high crowned, of course, brilliant straws and trimmed always with some dashing fancy plume or other that goes up to enormous heights. Those who prefer satin or silk hats also find them everywhere, and as It Is quite the thing to make these of one color and trim them with another it Is possible to use up many bits of home material if the hats can

be turned out by home On a satin shape of gun metal gray a vivid blue ribbon was massed so as to bide the entire crown and shape a vast bow at tfle back. Black and white effects in the satin and silk hats are also much seen and surely nothing could be smarter than this combination, even though it involves a black and white effect to a certain extent all through the get-up, Our Illustration shows a kimono waist and princess skirt, the two detail* snowing admirably together In a.pretty gray veiling and moire silk in a matching color. With these materials white porcelain beads are used effectively. The bodice begins with a closely fitting kimono waist of the moire, finished at the neck with a found yoke of the veiling, beaded over. Two crossed bib pieces of the veiling cover the lower part of the bodice back and front, these running up to the yoke band in sharp beaded pointe. Straight bands ol the beaded veiling form the cuffs and the narrow folded belt is of the moire. In the deep toot band of the gath-

ered skin a novel touch Is given through the shaping of the upper line, the former slightness of such bands being considered now a little unbecoming to any but the slimmest and most youthful figures. Tills model as it stands Is undesirable for anything but t very dressy frock, but such materials as mousseline and organdy may be used, for it with some variation of the style of trimming. Veiling, chiffon and cashmere, or a thin silk with some pretty wool are other adaptable materials. •
