NEW FROCKS FROM WORTH’S.

This Great Maker Caters to the Taste of tho Grande Dame, Not to the Actress. Among designers of costumes Worth stands apart. He caters to crowned heads and the grande dames and not to the stage.. At a display of his gowns recently few changes in style were noticed. Waists are worn rather high, skirts are still straight and most of the bodices are collarless. Two pale blue dinner gowns were marvels of beauty. Each had a narrow pointed train and white lace trimmed the bodices. One had a folded fichu of the lace, which was most effective. Several; afternoon gowns were especially lovely. One of these had a narrow straight skirt, made to.touch, and with a high waist line. The bodice was of black silk veiled with chiffon and had a deep band of gold embroidery across the front. It was cut rather low at the neck and had sleeves which came slightly below the elbow. Another frock was of moleskin chiffon velvet, made In virtually the same style. It had a band of colored embroidery instead of the gold. A third, of iron-gray velvet, was trimmed with folds of soft silk and embroidereckwlth silver. Sets of furs were on display suiting the costumes to perfection. Regal sets of sable and ermine, worth a king’s ransom, were worn by the models. Scarfs are extremely* wide and shp.wl-like, and muffs larger than ever.
