HINTS TO DREssY WOMEN

HINTS TO DRESSY WOMEN
The campaign of fashion is uefhered in
with glowing colors and novel and
brilliant effects. We have long since
learned, particularly from our French
sisters, that it is not the fabric itself
that renders its wearer an attractive
object. We constantly see women laden
with attire of the most extravagent de-
scription who demonstrate by their very
appearance that they do no; know how
10 select, decorate or wear their elegant
finery. In others we note an indivi-
duality, an appropriateness, which is
called style, which may show itself in
every curve and fold Of a gown that
mas cost it's tasteful wearer no more,
perhaps, than 60 cents yard.
That the fabric to genuine is. however,
the very first rule of successful gowning.
We do not have 10 pay prices at all ex-
orbitant in these days for all wool fab
rics that are beautiful in design and
handsome in coloring; and the variety
Of these textures is legion as one can
discover by visit to any Of our dry
goods houses. 1t is not far for the wO-
man of wealth, who snaps her fingers at
prices, to declare everything that is in
expensive to be not worth the buying.
Any wise woman OF experience can re-
fute this and prove her refutatiOn in
sanity, and those who are not at all
anxious TO be robbed in the very last
and latest wode of the moment, who are
wholly content 70 be a day or so behind
the fair, can dress both elegant and
cheaply.
Let us instance, for example, crepons.
which SO ruled the world OF fashion but
a few seasons ago, but which have for
the time being hadtheir day most un-
deniahly. The soft lovely silk and wools
that were woven together 10 form these
goods are just as exquisite at the price
a whice they can now be purchased as
they were, in coloring mad quality,
when in the height Of their vogue, when
ttey cost their delighted purchaser
several hundred a yard. They have 10
go now to "spesial sales' perhaps, to
make room for the newer and more pop
ular weaves and patterns, but at their
greatly reduced rates. and in their char
ming and still modish colorings, they
are worthy OF purchase even if utilized
merely for pretty house dresses. tea
gowns, children's clothing or even house
draperies for certai rooms. This only
is an example Of scores Of textiles that
might be enumerated, like mohair. al
paca, cashmere, etc, that come and 60
in favor in the ebo and flow OF the great
tide of fashion. and which are valued
by the ultra fashionable merely for the
place they hold in the eyes of the whim-
sical queen, but by others for their own
intrinsic worth as materials.
Rich yoke effects above low cut bod
ices, and chemisetes, and guimpes Of var
ious rich or dainty textiles continue in
grea. favor as a finish for dressy gowns,
and rich high-arcnei collars and wraps.
While many of them, designed mostly
for protection, are straight and solid in
effect, Others are divided into creneIla-
which are trimmed with rucaes. silk
braid or narrow fur bands.
