The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1899-05-13

These warm May days have turned the
attention of my young women friends
n / have a lot. of thern-to outing cos
stumes. They are busily talking over
what they will wear on the golf links,
the tennis courts and on the water.
One of them has just had made a most
useful garment. 1t is an ulster of drab
and brown plaid. The cape is separate.
and can be worn for golfing. The cape
is very novel. The spring ruffe around
the bottom becomes revers at the top.
.Chese button back, n the cape can be
worn double breasted If desired.
Tennis gowns are not the fearfully
striped things they were. A very neat
one is of light diagonal in drab with
very dark green threads. The skirt Is
plain and strap stitched all around with
white cloth, with tabs and buttons for
nam up the front. The waist is a
plain n with a jaunty little
figaro that can be taken off for more
freedom. It is pictured here. 1t makes
up very nicely also in the pretty new
Russian ducks and crashes.
Combinations of plain and striped or
dotted Russian crash make really hand
some suits. I saw n where dark all
blue and rather light hair line blue and
white were employed to develop a suit
for summer. The Jacket was Of the
dark, strap stitched with bias gtriped,
and the feil vast was or the striped.

strapped with the dark Blue.
There was A sash eight inches wide
and four yards long. striped on one side
and plain on the other. When it was
tied, it was arranged SO that both plain
and striped portions showed. One with
pin dots instead of striped was also
very handsome, and they are much
more dressy han one might think. The
whole suit Is washabi
We are prepared to recognize change
of fashions in furniture, in the decora-
ton of our homes, in wall paper and
ever in the houses themselves, as we'll
as the style Of wearing the hair and
beard, and we must admit a change in
many of the social laws and not al
ways for the better.
We are now obliged to take notice of
the fashion in the human face and
form. There is a new standard set up
which all try to conform to by the aid
of science. No one is to be too stout or
too thin, and if one understands oneself

cess should not attend the effort.
Men now nearly all shave clean. do
not know how it Is, but it seems TO give
them an alert appearance. They do not
wear their hair cropped close nor yet
long with a curled topknot. but 1t is
often parted directly IL the middle. Yet
it does not give them an effeminate APP
pearance.
No one of any ~pretensions to intelli-
gence wears the hair plastered dow
over the brow in sharp scallop. 1t is
arranged in a way to show the broad
forehead at its best.
Not only this, but features are chang
ed sometimes. No one now goes about
with a pair of great ears like cherubs'
wings standing out each side his or her
face. There is a place in New York;
dare say more than one-where such
disfgurements are cured by surgical
operations. Women whose chins sag
in unbecoming f~ullness nave them re-
duced to their original development.
Baggy puffs under the eyes are some
how taken away, and above all the high
Roman nose. which is decidedly out of
fashion now, is mad INTO a smooth,
straight form. The hump is taken Off
or out or something. Anyway, it is
taken off that particular nose, and the
owner of 1t is happy ever after.
It used to be considered a mark of
high breeding to have a Roman nose.
