A matinee, or, rather, several matinees, is the first purchase a Frenchwomau makes when she orders her trousseau. Plain colored india silks in the very palé colors, made with long jacket and skirt and trimmed with yards and yards oí lace, are always in fashion and exceedingly pretty. The skirts for the matinees are made narrower than the regular skirts, but they are always trimmed with flounces edged with lace, which flounces are put on half way up the skirt, reachiug to just below where the jacket ends. The jacket is made to ñt quite loosely in front - in the back it raust be tighter - and is trimmed with jabots of lace down the front and a ruffle edged with lace around the bottom. The sleeves are of medium size and finished at the wrist with ruffles of lace. Such a quantity of lace as is needed to trim a matinee aeemssomewhat overwhelming when expense has to be considered, but there are a great mauy pretty, effective and quite fine laces to be bought now from 18 to 20 cents a yard. Silk linings make a matinee a most luxurious garment. But again, if economy must rule, there are fine percaline linings which will answer every purpose. -
