QUAINT CONCEIT COMES BACK

Choux of Ribbon, Silk or Velvet, 8o Popular Some Time Ago, Is to Be Revived. ~ t -A quaint conceit which is being revived on several models is the large choux of ribbon or silk velvet, reputing, perhaps, the note of color at the waist and plaqed at the side front about nine inches up from the foot. In fact, we appear to be in for a revival of these contrasting choux of silk or velvet, which were such an Infliction some years ago. They are applied to the corsage or skirt more or less Indiscriminately, and hear no relation to the general deßign of the. model. Just now the idea Is quite endurable, especially when carried out as on a white batiste frock with a Vshaped lace vest at the neck let Into a .large plain vest of fine embroidered batiste. Two large diamond shaped pieces of Mce on the shoulders head two soft folds of batiste, which cross over In front into a swathed waist belt of soft mauve silk, finishing with an enormous choux at the left front. The skirt Is on simpler lines, gathered into the waist. A band of the laoe is applied about a foot up from the hem, and just above this and In a line with that at the waist is a very large rosette bow. These touches of mauve were quite delightful. A similar note was sounded bn the white baby hat, which h«d a wreath of tiny mauve roses encircling the mob crown. Another model in spotted muslin, also had a little- crosß over bodice folded over a soft fold of pale green silk. The waist belt and rosette are In pale green silk and a large flat rosette headed an open seam, revealing a lace inset. These introductions of colored silks into white lingerie and muslin frocks are very much to be noted just now.
