SHADED GOWNS.

Shaded frocks are very beauti- ful things, though perhaps they aro only for women who can afford a number of dressos at a time. A dark girl can appear in draperies that suggest a sunset once with great effect, but it is doubtful whether the effect could bo satisfactorily repeated... "In the new ombre crepes which are used for those frocks the gradation in colour is artistically done, and satisfies the most fastidious taste. The top part of the frock is of some palo shade," such as biscuit, doeponing into flame, which blends with vivid red at the hem. Wingliko draperies fall from one or both Moderatoly narrow sleeves that shoulders, but the frook itself at the wrist have suddenly a full-will probably be quite straight, ness that recalls the old balloon and. of course, without. sleeve-the full part of the sleevyo trimmings. being of a finer material than the upper part.

Instead of tassels to finish draperies there are coloured stone ornaments that look very much like big marbles.

The points of the wing-draperies may be finished with opalescent stones, which reflect the colour scheme of the dress.

TRINKETS IN PARIS.`

fi

Paris is still the recognised home of those little trinkets that women love and covet, inexpen- sive or costly, the whim of a moment or the lasting fashion of a year or two.

The double-headed pin, for hat or Corsage, is made in a variety of "animal" forms: a wild. duck in flight at one end and An alort retriever dog at the other is, perhaps, the most popular. There may be a lion crouching, faced by a tiny mouse pictorial edition of the famous fable-B tortoise and a hare or an ambling elephant and a graceful grasshopper. Some times these are in enamel, but more often in glittering brilliante -real or imitation.

For the sentimental there's the daisy bat-pin, a daisy head minus few petals which you find scattored in careless profusion at the other side of the pin.
