Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-09-15

A very pretty serviceabie blouse for
travelling or home wear may be made of
pongee, a broad plait down the front
and center of the back, feather stitched
on each side, from three to five tucks
about three fOurths OF an inch in width
overlapping each other. The sleeves
full and a simulated cuff carrying out
the design of the waist, when the stitch
ing is done with a good washing silk.
The laundry has no terrors, for the blouse
will wash.
For the tailor gown, that is the gown
for the street per Sc, braiding la mill
taire will be the most fashionable form
of trimming unless fur be excepted; in
this latitude the former Will doubtless be
given preference, as more suitable for so
mild a climate. With stamping facili-
ties, the braiding is very easily done,
and any clever woman can III her leisure
hours find time TO adorn q gown other
wise severe in its simplicity. Cloth of
dark green, brown, blue or claret looks
well braided with black, and with a long
coat to match makes q elegant costume.
Yes, my dear, elegance requires the long
coat: you may have the jacket, but that
is only business like and convenient.
The coat is full dress on the street.
This coat will be Directoire, a cut too
stylish to be easily abandoned, and
when you pull down the wide flaps at
the side, stiff with braid, and glance
down at the graceful curve of each
seam in your final peep at the mirror
you will set out on shopping or Wis
ting expedition with a sense of extreme
satisfaction.
Fortunate are you when you adjust
your toque or English turban if you
can wear catogan braid; need you be
told that this is large, loose braid
Topped up-the topknot has TO come
down unless one is strong enough to
be singular And then those prettily
curled bangs, on which you have be
slowed so much time and labor, well i,
they must be turned straight back; If
your prettiness is not sufficient to
warrant so severe q style you may IN
dulge in a few 'montaCues, and beau
catchers, but these must not show de-
sign, but seem only to have strayed from
careful combining. From head TO hand is
| not much of a reach, and gloves are no
unimpoTtant auxiliary III a woman s cos
tuning. The latest addition is pocket
| glove, or more properly a glove with a
| pocket in the palm to hold change; some
have one also in the loose, wrinkled top
it promises Q poeketless sex, its speedy
adoption Is guaranteed, and a saving of
pocket money anticipated.
The ONE Maker for this month gives
| in the fashion department some admir-
able suggestions about looking

seeing what dresses can be
remodeled, and how to prepare
| them for the dressmaker, for careful
ripping and thorough cleansing with am
monia and alcohol where there are spots,
| often works such wonders that the old
gown skiIlfully remodeled is indeed
| 'maist as guide as new. From Harper IS
| Bazaar are clipped the following minute
| dressmaker' 5 directions for the making of
| that new frock as Well as the old may be
| successfully accomplished by a home
| dressmaker.
