THE BLACK DUCK SHIRT WAIST

Black duck shirts, to be worn with white
skirts, are the very latest style, and are
lovely These shirts are made just as Sc
we're as possible, and by a tailor. so that
the effect is excellent.
One of the prettiest fancies of the mo-
ment is the heavy linen duck gown in one
color, trimmed with cut-out designs in
duck of another shade. OF these the most
fashionable and new are those of black
duck, with designs in dull faded blue, buff,
Grange, tomato red and green. The design
usually Is made to run up the front on the
seams and over the collar of the jacket.
while the sleeves are nearly covered.
A pretty gown is made of white duck,
with a. cut-out design in pale blue applied
over the skirt apd jacket. 1t is conven-
tional flower design. With the open jack
ct is worn a blouse of blue lawn the shade
of the applied flowers, and the belt and
collar are of black satin.
Paris, having loved blue very dearly.
smiled persistently on black and white, and
is now turning much of her attention to
red, and the best of her satin foulard gowns
appear in this color, spotted with white.
They are invariably made on a simple plan,
the skirt with single f1ounce, the bodice
crossed over on the bust, to show chem
isette of ecru muslin, slightly pouching In
the front, with very narrow belt, and
crowned with hat turned off from the
face, trimmed with the indispensable cher
ries.
The Paris shirts this year are very at
tractive, possessing all the advantages Of
the silken blouse and the simpler shirt in
enc. Two styles are particularly popular,
the one is the Garibaldi shirt, which fast
ems down the back, hangs loosely In the
front with three stripes of lace alternat-
ing with little groups OF tucking; it fastens
down the back and is finished at the neck
with transparent lace collarband tied into
a bow at the back: these appear alike In
bat1ste and satin foulard, in satin and in
, washing silk. The other model which ex-
cites the popular appreciation has the
bodice lightly gathered into yoke, which
extends to the bust and In striped round
wards either with frills Of Valenciennes
lace or insertion of broad beading, this
yoke being cut in one with the collarband
and turning over at the top with pointed
edges bordered with little frills Of chiffon.
third model shirt has yoke of stripes
of insertion joined together with headings,
through which are threaded narrow black
velvet ribbons. Cuffs to match this yoke
finish the sleeves while the bodice is loose
ly gathered and hangs in Garibaldi fashion,
fastening al the back
Red Jackets are also the fashion of the
hour in Paris, and among those who know
on this side Of the water. The real jacket
should be worn In combination with black
and white checked skirts, or red and white
checked skirts, and 1t is in two forms, eth
err short and smart and tailor made, with
many stitchings, or as a loose wrap for
travelling.
The fichu frill without the foundation Is
delightful. These may now be had mount
ed onto narrow-shaped bands, which lat
ter permit themselves to be affixed to any
waist by discreetly applied pin. One with
which am intimately acquainted halls
