The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-09-05

on during the warm afternoons, one of
the exquisite frilled chiffon parasols is al
ways IN evidence. 1t is always chosen
with an eye to becomineness. In the
early part of the afternoon this parasol
my lady holds over her face at just such
an angle that the sun, when striking it,
sifts through and throws a rose or warm
yellow light over my lady's face so that
she is really radiant to behold. Later,
II serves as a background.
A blue or green parasol, under these cir
cumstances. would throw a most horribly
unbecoming light. and that is why one
sees so many of the elaborate new para
soils in delicate shades of rose or yellow
sometimes in bright red.
The ordinary carriage toilets one sees
are hardly less dressy than those worn in
the Bots on the afternoon of the Battle of
the Flowers" There really seems 20 be
no limit to the elaborateness of a womans
carriage toilet
OF course, if she drives herself in one of
the smart up-to-date carts, she must fore
go frills and picturesque effects, and don
her very effective tailor-made gown and
her small chic hat. for a smart, trig APP
pearance is so much more in keeping with
the style of the turnout.
A gown designed by fashionable Lon
don tailor had a skirt of fawn-colored fou-
lard printed with a dark green figure The
skirt was composed of four rufiles, over a
bright green taffeta lining. The edges of
the rutlles were bordered with narrow bias
folds of bronze green taffeta.
The corsage was a blouse of taffeta
changeable old gold and green that gave
the effect of a sort of bronze green. 1t was
made with short full basques, and opened
over vest of bright green taffeta COW
cred with golden brown tulle. Sequins
that resembled the eye of peacock feath-
er were tackled at intervals on the tulle.
At the front the Jacket was edged with
frills of deep cream batiste that ended at
the top of the sleeves in double frills that
stood straight up. The foot of the frilis
were finished with gold passementerie. A
high full fTill of the batiste mounted the
draped collar of bronze green taffeta.
A simple girlish gown was made of
cream woollen grenadine over cream taft
feta. The corsage was deep cream batiste,
pierced with the patterns outlined in
bluette satin. The bodice was trimmed
with braces of broad b1uette taffeta rib
bon, that crossed back and front. Over
this a bolero effect was wrought with the
grenadine over white taffeta. The sleeves
were long tight-fitting coat sleeves draped
slightly at the top with frllls of white
gauze giving the finish at the wrist The
collar was of broad buette ribbon, draped
and ending with bow at the back
This gown had a godet SKIRT of very
moderate ulInenSlOHSf HtllilS clOst over TIE
hips The bottom of the skirt was trim
med with two tiny ruffles or bluette gauze
over bluette taffeta. The girdle of bluette
taffeta had long sash ends reaching near
ly to the bottom of the skirt The sash
ends were bordered with narrow frills of
bluette gauze.
A very elaborate carriage gown that was
designed especially for one of the "grande
danes" of Paris to wear at the Battle
Of Elnuyarc'' tuaG much admired This
gown had a skirt of loosely woven black
silk grenadine over lining of white satin.
Applique designs of white satin covered
the black grenadine.
The skirt was a moderately wide godet,
close fitting over the hips. 1t was trim
med at the bottom with three narrow frills
of white satin that were corded at the
edges.
The corsage was of white satin, made
perfectly plain at the back and opening
over a vest of frilled black tulle. Strips Of
velvet fell stole fashion over each Shout
der and gave the effect of a short, square
bolero. These were of a brilliant shade OF
violet and were outlined with narrow
frills of white tulle. The sleeves of white
satin were coat sleeves, close fitting and
draped slightly at the top. The collar of
violet velvet was a broad band mounted
by a faring collar of velvet, that was
bordered with frill of white gauze.
A hat of rough violet straw was worn
with this gown. 1t was trimmed with
pale yellow roses and white satin ribbon.
Another carriage gown, less striking,
but more artistic, is of printed foulard
with a cream background and pattern
Of scattered leaves in almond green. II
is made up over cream taffeta.
The corsage fastens at the under-arm
seam 1t has a square yoke, composed
of three broad bias folds of the cream tar
feta that continue over the tops of the
sleeves to give the effect of epaulettes. The
bottom edges of the folds are cut in seal
Ions that are finished with cream silk
cord, and just above the scallops there Is
a trimming of narrow green velvet ribs
bon. A high corslet effect is wrought by
draped pieces Of the foulard coming from
each under-arm seam. back and front
which are gathered with a heading and
tackled to the bottom of the yoke. The
sleeves are plain and close-fitting, with
| no fulness at the top.
Strangely enough, the skirt Is one Of
| the clinging bell skirts that some OF the
couturieres bring into prominence on oc
| casions. When their clients insist on z
gowns smartness being tempered with ar
| tistic merit, this skirt is Of the PRINTED
| foulard and Is trimmed around the bot
tom with a full ruche of cream mousse
| line de sole. The ceinture Is made Of
At|RNA-
with a bow a the back.
1t will be noticed that while the no
weather lasts there will be thin materials
worn.
AS summer is not quite gone, there are
| still parties on the lawn; and at thes'
| lawn parties tailor-made dresses are alsC
| worn.
In a group OF three that were at 4
| lawn party not far from Battersea / no
| ticed a lovely cream poplin, made will
| exquisite neatness, and a tan ladies' cloth
| The lightest effects were visible, and wher
/ spoke TO a tailor about this he assured
me that cream color would be worn al
winter, and that 1t would be a common
| sight to see a sealskin cloak over a Skin
| OF steel, tan, pale green or gray WOOL
1.-THE contrast" added he, will Civ
| a note Of smartness and an interest no
| always noticed In winter gowns"
