mode IL you put your parting out of
sight at once.
This style may be accounted for by
the now prevailing Marie Antoinette
craze Empire worship has answered
for its moderation with its life and
Partisan followers of fashion, and what
French woman is not, from a blan
chisseuse to a mondaine, are discard
ing all that reminds them Of Joseph
inc, and are running wildly after the
manners and dress of the Austrian
woman.
''The beplumed and befiowered hats
are worn back on the head, small par
asols are covered with violets, roses,
petunias. poppies-anything that lends
a riot OF color to them. and the same
passion is carried out in neck gear.
CT noticed that the flower collarsttas
have crossed the ocean. So as soon
as the post-lenten sun shines upon
pleasure lovers. don a huge yoke OF
flowers whose stole ends are made of
chiffon or net, not ribbon. AZaleas and
peoples are the favorite flowers. yell
low and magenta are the popular
colors.
Don't touch artificial violets with
a ten-foot pole" to use an old express
sion. They are execrable form.
''The American women are wearing
too few straps over the shoulders. But
the fashion win come in with a rush
when the leaders get their trousseaus
from abroad. They are creeping onto
the evening bodices. whose exaggerated
1880 cut seems sorely to need a support
to keep the body from coming through
the court line of the neck.
LAS you know, these short straps are
placed to cross midway between the
shoulder and throat. the top CT the
sleeve dropping on line with the bust.
"They are not confined to evening
gowns, but attached to visiting and
house dresses. The guimpe is made of
contrasting cloth, and these straps are
used with the sleeves hanging as far
off the shoulders as in a decollete bod
ice.
Especially will this idea be carried
out in gingham and wash materials.
The yoke fashioned OF hatiste. the new
Scotch embroidery on irish lace, the
latter being more modish, if one can
afford it. The shoulder supports are
made of deep shades of velvet in any
of the new colors, petunia preferable.
if that shade harmonizes at all with
the cloth. A dressy effect is obtained
if the fashionable cut-steel buttons
fasten them.
'As for lace collars, they are more
the vogue than ever. They are de-
tachable. and the prettiest are hand
made. l see some Of your shops are
selling them at reduced prices; 1 sup
pose because so many women are using
old lace points and putting them to-
gether by hand in preference to the
ready-made article.
BE as spangled as the premiere
danseuse of the ring, is another YER
dict among fashionable women. Every
ribbon worn, whether to form the
ubiquitous blouse or to tie at the neck,
has it's plethora of the gay little
paiettes. To buy them costs money,
but one who has leisure can fill up
yards of satin space at small ex-
pense.
The favorite jacket is builded from
six Of these spangled bands, depending
blouse-like from a short square yoke.
Cut steel, amethyst and claret are the
prettiest combinations of metal.
Probably the revival of German OPP
era has given rise TO the Brunhilde
corselet which is displayed in shop
windows but not yet worn. This va
riety of bodice garnishing will be eX-
quisite for house and reception, but 1
should hardly advise it for walking.
THE foreign ones are made of coarse
Brussels net, upon whose meshes
Morse designs are appliqued in span
giles. They come only as high as the
bust, with narrow shoulder straps sus-
pending them. They are not suitable
with wash gowns. Light silks and col
ored velvet bodices are their appropri-
ate resting place. White net spangled
in cut steel makes an elaborate even
ing corselet.
what is new in hats? For one
thing, the square line Dutch bonnet
has had its day, I think. They are
slightly pointed a la Mary Stuart, and
to be in keeping with the latest hats
that tilt UP in front a la Sabot. If you
have bit of real lace. pin it on the
back to drop at each side of the knot.
If you have not, ape the effect with
pleated chiffon. Large ivy leaves and
petunias are the fashionable trimming.
TRY to get a hat of yellow straw,
the yellower the better; then match
your gloves to it. To be chaussied in
white is no longer elegant on the
street Corn color stitched heavily in
black is the correct glove. And mark
that phrase heavily stitched and get
all your gloves accordingly. Red has
gone out entirely and dust brown has
taken its place"
