MIST-SHADED TULLE GOWNS

Exquisite Shades Shown in Costumes That Have Reached This Country From Parisian Costumers. New evening gowns from Paris seem to be made of the soft colored mist that one sees sometimes at sunrise or sunset. They are composed of dellcate tulles, or of the more delicate nets. A. lovely one is a mixture of peach tulle and orange tulle. These two colors are very happily combined, the peach tones toward the top of the gown, mounted over white chiffon, and the orange tulle forming the skirt ruffles and a drapery which replaces a sleeve.

Black net or dark blue is hung over light blue chiffon in another dance frock. An odd bluish shade of green girdle, embroidered with green gdld metal bullion, encircles the waist. Both fur and flowers are seen on some of these gowns, the fur, slender strips of ermine or marten, harmonizing rather than contrasting with the gown color. The flowers are mere little tufts of tinsel gauze, disclosed to view by the way they catch the light on their metal threads. The skirts are a little longer, just below a low boot top length. While full, they, are so gauzelike and limp that even then the four or five yards of fullness does not make them stick out much. Sleeves are nil —a drapery, flounce or bertha falling over the arms;—New York Herald. ~
