Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-08-18

to this, medistes find it Weari-
some work to design costumes that
are becoming to woman of
forty three bust, and more difficult to
convince the heavy subject that a change
of style would be more becoming. A
stout woman starts at the thought of q
full sleeve, fully convinced that Jumps of
fat should be held in by the tight coat,
which only serves to render the size more
apparent. Women who are close OBJ
servers must have noticed that as a stout
woman approaches fifty the flesh falls
away from the shoulder, and the arms
seem to be set in somewhat as was those
of the doll ''dear to my childhood. -
Now there is nothing relieves this as
much as sleeve made close fitting from
the elbow down. The upper part set on
the close foundation full enough to allow
of three large plaits across, these plaits
tackled upward on the shoulder, forming
a graceful fullneSs where the fiat effect
appears.
My lady dowager, do not forget there
are full sleeves and full sleeves, and you
need not be afraid of the one described.
1t is hardly necessary to say that all
waist trimming should taper from
shoulder to waist point and be length
maintained IN skirt draperies.
NOTES.
The prettiest tea cloths have hem
stitched borders.
Golden tan gloves with pointed cuffs
are the favorites for driving.
It is said that dress waists will be worn
longer, made to extend over the hips,
next winter.
Women do not now wear profusion of
underskirts. One is now considered suf-
flcient.
Thus far plain royal cut velvet prom
ises to be the ruling material in the max
ing up of fine millinery.
The black ribbon collars now seen on
light dresses are fastened with small
Rhinestone buckles.
With the Recamier wrapper, which is
a simple short-waisted gown, is worn a
turned-over collar of embroidery, with
cuffs to match.
Some of the new smart hats have trans
parent brims made of black lace stiffened
by means of very fine wire inserted IN the
edging and patterns, and lace bows for
trimming are rendered firm by the same
means.
Jets have taken on a determinedly
longer lease of life Delicately cut jets
strung on very fine wire in lace designs
and foliage and floral limitations overlap
velvet in many of the imported models.
With low shoes OF black or bronze
kid, silk stockings are worn in dark
shades of brown, blue or green, finely
streaked with bright red, yellow or
white; black stockings, striped in colors,
are also fashionable.
Another pretty and popular fancy is to
let in long scarfs of silk muslin to the
seams at the back of the bodice and
bring them round over the shoulders like
fichus, tying them upon the bosom and
letting the sash ends hang on the skirt.
The latest IN parasols are those covered
with black net, with very large dots,
placed plainly over colored silk. A thick
ruching of net, with notched edges,
forms border and is also put in the CEN
ter around the ferule. Dark wood 5 ticks
are used for such parasols.
The new wells have large embroidered
polka spots, and they are still tied under
the chin, but without lace border. For
capotes plain tulle is used, coming just TO.

For very young ladies are fehus COM
