Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1897-11-25

The newest Russian blouse has the
frill worn below the belt, only little
full and slashed in tabs.
Cloth blouses on outdoor suits are
made to turn back in front, revealing
facing of velvet and gay satin or
cloth-braided vest.
Some of the fashionable shades in
dress goods are green, red, purple,
bright and navy blue, all shades OF
brown, tan and black.
A silk lining is now made which
serves as a lining and n stiffening at
the same time, so that it can be used
without any other lining
The mess jacket is new and jaunty,
opening over fitting vest, and
showing row of small gilt or steel
buttons down either edge or one only.
Black and white shepherds plaid,
very light and fine, is favorite ma.
terial for bicycle costumes. Another
popular stuff is mauve-colored cloth
decorated with fancy braids.
Some very striking colors in pre-.
late, royal, and orchid purple appear
both in superb satins and brocades,
immense faille and satin plaids, fig
ured moires, plain and fancy woods,
and in fall and winter millinery.
Almost every color imaginable is to
be seen in liberty satin for sashes, col.
lars and belts. Handsome gowns fol-
elderly ladies are of soft gray liberty
satin, with gray or black velvet acces.
sories and rufflings of lace at neck and
wrists.
A stylish hat is made of basket braid.
The edge is trimmed with very close
ly shirred edging of lace or silk mus.
lin. Above this is q row of fancy
braid. Around the crown is a a scarf
of soft silk, and wired bows are set up
at one side of the back.
Among the new delicate shades in
nuns yelling are those known as van.
lila, nerva Ia pretty green), new but.
ter and spahis-blue, best made over
a lining of ivory-colored silk; and
beige over ruby, petunia or cabbage
green, silver gray over blue.
There is a threatened revival OF
early Victorian ashions-doubtles a
result of the English Queens Jubilee
but the styles are trying to all but
the very beautiful; and poke bonnets,
wolflike coiffures and other monstros-
tiles will scarcely become the rage.
The slashed models, giving the eff
feet of long square apron front, reach
quite to the bottom of the second
skirt, and ON tailor costumes of cloth,
mohair, tweed, cheviot, etc, the
slashed edges are decorated with silk
gimps put on in various fanciful de-
signs.
Odd arrangements of frilling, lace,
net, fur, braid, velvet, fringes, ETC., g,
are very much used on bodices, red
ingotes, and princesse dresses fast
ened at the left side; and very
dressy appearance is impaired to 9TH
erwise simple gowns by the children
of these trimmings.
Fancy fabrics are less trimmed than
plain ones, and really rich goods may
be worn without suggestion of garni-
ture. The plainest finish that one can
have is a wide fold of velvet cut on the
bias. This is blind-stitched on, and
while it is only revival of an old
time style it is, to all intents and pur-
poses, new style of finish.
A simple but effective costume for
seashore wear is a canvas made over
yellow tafSeta. The skirt, quite plain,
hangs separate from the lining. The
waist, on the plan of short Russian
blouse, is very "blousy" indeed, and
is braided with bands of inch wide
white satin ribbon. 1t is open at the
throat, with turned-back narrowrever
faced with yellow tatfeta, and shows q
glimpse of yellow taffeta skirt.
A simple gown is of white organdy,
with rufle edged with black lace
about the hem. Lines of lace inser-
tion are let into the seams and rufied
with narrow lace. The bodice is q
blouse, with vertical lines entredeux
and lace below square yoke of cream
guipure. The guipure makes the
choker, which is shaped to turn over
on the upper edge, and is trimmed
behind with large cerise bow. The
belt is of cerise, with butterfly bow
behind.
