Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1894-06-22

richly embroidered, and there are dainty
white china silk frocks, tucked or plain.
These all have lace around the necks, and
the sleeves consist of two ruff1es. Then
If q guimpe is worn the waist does not
seem overturned. For every day there
are many very pretty colored cha1nbrays
and linens.
Some OF the chambrays are prettily en-
broidered in contrasting threads, and they
wash well. A child's neck and arms are
SO pretty that when the weather will per-
init it would be q pleasure to see them in
short sleeves. There is a bingham where
the ground is quite dark blue and the
stripes very light. The checks are very
large, and this is made up on the bias,
and around the bottom and on the ruff1e
around the neck and sleeves are worked
embroidered wheels or other devices in
white floss or perhaps scarlet. These are
set evenly in the squares, and that may
make a neat trimming at little expense of
time or labor. Feather stitching is quite
as popular as it ever was for trimming
children's clothes, and it is better adapted
for the purpose than any other garniture,
as it washes we'll, always looks refined and
can be applied where anything else would
look coarse or awkward.
Shoes for children are shown in greater
variety than usual. There are slippers
with straps across the ankle, Newport
ties and Oxfords. These are nearly always
made without heels for all children under
10, but they are as nice and comfortable
as they can be made. There are some
dress shoes for children made of fancy
checks and stripes, but the most are black
and russell. For everyday wear thick rib
bed black stockings are worn. These thick
ribbed stockings are not any thicker or
warmer than the smooth stockings, though
they look 50.
Nearly everybody now wears a loose
blouse waist of some kind, either of thin
wool, p~ercale, cambria or silk. There are
very dainty white ones for wearing with
blazer suits, some having the fronts loose
n hanging and others having the top
and bottom shirred, and they are fastened
with a plain hem and buttons, with a plait-
ed frill or a regular jabot 'front.' There
are so many different designs that It would
be impossible to describe them all. The
striped, plain or fancy figured silks and
the surah and changeable silks all make
beautiful waists, and if the waist is cool
the skirt may be Of any kind Of goods that
suits q lady, even if quite heavy.
White muslin and swiss dotted app
trimmed with lace will be worn for early
morning, and wonderfully dainty and cool
they look. I saw a lot Of them marked at
from rs cents to So, all nicely made and
trimmed with lace and ribbon. Irish lawn
Is largely used for everyday wrappers, and
80 is chambray. This last is also used in
the making of many handsome afternoon
dresses.
In new light woods there is Illuminated
%jacquards, which is a sort Of metallic effect
wrought by brocades, using threads of diff
ferent textiles together of the same colors.
There are several very delicate pinhead
kchecks in light wool, and several new eff
fects in feather mixtures. The granite
fheviot is shown in lighter weights and
richer colors, and all these wooden skirts
hre worn with silk waists.
