What TO Wear and How to Wear

i W. lo"o vi PiOoSSo "hAsS
lisse or muslin remain the popular French
lingerie.
DARK silk founces are bound or piped
with light silk, as olive brown with cream
color.
PLAsTRoNs, square, round-eornered,
pointed In heart shape, and long like
vests, abound on dresses.
WHITE lsine that looks like flannel is
used and trimmed with gay brocaded
bar DIS, for seaside suits.
TILLEUL green, old gold color, or
Vesuve red silk may be used IN the neck
instead of mandarin.
To GATHER hounces at wide intervals is
sgsin popular; narrow rutfies, similarly
gathered, trim overskirts
The broad Breton vest is not open in
the middle as vests usually are, but fits
the bust as if moulded upon it.
|. The richest dresses have most simple
trimm ings around the bottom. usually a
narrow f1ounce alike all around.
A SPECIAL novelty Is the peplum
points on each side OF princesse dresses,
made by many rows of lace and deep
fringe.
A VERY broad facing ofslk is used
down the fronts to make them su5stan-
tial enough for the buttons and button
holes
STANDING collars and cuffs of dresses
partly of wool and partly of silk are
made OF alternate strips of each to match
the hounces.
The basque, when worn, has no
visible opening, rs 1t Is fastened
on a fly flap that buttons on the lett side
where the vest Gins the waist.
The Breton costume promises to be-
come as popular as the Dolly Warden
style once did. 1t is used tor the house
and for street dresses.
THEstylish trimming FOR light cloths
is merely a number of white or shaded
pearl buttons, fiat, and about the size OF
tve.cent nickel piece.
The English collar is made very high,
and the front points sre rolled open
very far to show the inside facing
The bow at the throat is used lnvari-
ably.
AMONG silk dresses contrasting cOlors
are used and there lisa preference Tor bro
cades that have very small figures OF
three or tour well ming led colors.
A FANCY is to bind the edge OF side
pleats with contrasting color; thus on
a pleated flounce of pale blue fsille, the
long edge of each pleat is bound with
olive.
THE long round overskirt is too popu-
lar TO be relinquished, and Is now used
with square corners on the side, where 1t
Is left open, and trimming extended to
the waist.
SQUARE collars are on many dresses
but these collars on only seen IN the
back, where they are often as deep as a
woke, and are finished with fringe across
the bottom.
By way of ylish relief, folds
of mandarin yellow silk are laid around
the neck under the collar of pleated
black lace, but the yellow does not ap-
pear elsewhere in the dress.
KSIFE-PLEATINGs OF plain silk flare
open widely, and show that they are
lined throughout with brocades or
striped silk, rs dark blue is lined with
striped blue and yellow silk.
A NOVELTY is q jsbot of knife-plested
silk for bordering the foot of the skirt.
Sometimes there is a bias piece of silk,
laid in easy horizontal folds around
the skirt, with narrow knite-pleating on
the lower edge and n jsbot on the top.
WIDE brsids and GALLONS are far
more effective on costumes than many
STRAIGHT rows of narrow soutache
though the latter is used, especially
black .outsche on gray Breton over
d SEES that are worn with black silk
skirts.
The princesse corssge and hips are OF
the plain lace-like grensdine, cut with
Two long darts, short side body, and No
sesm down the middle of the back; be
lou this in front and back are many
hands of bias satin two inches wide, set
lengthwise.
AMONG other novelties introduced thi;
season are flounces made OF alternate
jeng,hwise stripes of the silk and the
wooi of the costume. These are each
w,da at their broadsst, are pointed tor
and bottom, and instead of being gather
I'd are sloped narrower at the top.
