the glories of summer that are passed
away when one sees the glories of winter
that linger. The delights of the shirt
waist and the sailor hat are forgotten in
the glOrieS of the theater bodice and the
house waist.
And well may they be forgotten for the
colors and fabrics are SO beautiful that
one looks at them-like the lover in the
old song-"and anguish steals into ones
heart"
Yet the sight need not necessarily be
one Of anguish. The materials are not
SO very expensive, and as for color, why,
color is cheap.
In buying a bodice never under any
consideration invest in cheap, bright fab
RIGS. If economy be the Keynote let
the material be subdued; for by some law
of color and material, darker shades look
much richer than light ones. 1t is strange
but true. A cheap pink never looks rich.
Blu a cheap dark blu or a cheap brown
or a dark inexpensive gray are always in
good taste.
1t is a spangle season. Sequins, Jets,
steel and silver glisten on the bodices.
They shine like diamonds, and are exceed
ingly becoming in the night.
With a dark gray satin skirt, trimmed
with an applique of black lace. there was
worn at a very fine reception, the other
day, a bodice of Persian velvet with gray
ground. Persian is sprinkled with SO
many and such brilliant colors and you
can scarce describe 1t to one who has not
seen it. 1t is rather too much worn, and
vet it's variety is such that you do not
tire of it.
This Persian velvet bodice with the
gray ground was thickly %sprinkled with
interviewer particles Of blue. giving a
cod. slaty look to the material.
1t was trimmed with white satin lap
els trimmed with silversequins, thte lap
els trimmed with silver sequins. the lap
had a very snug white satin vest with the
tiniest vest Of white chiffon set in. The
collar was of white chiffon folded fiat in
alternate rows of satin and chiffon.
AS the shape of thecuff was rather odd,
and as the collar and revers We're quite
novel, your, correspondent obtained a pat
tern from a Paris modiste for the bene-
fit of the women readers of this newspa-
per.
The cuff was cut from a single piece of
the goods, carefully folded before being
cut. and made up in such a way that the
seam came at the outside. The inner part
of the cuff was lined with pale blue satin,
and the edges We're bordered with the
narrowest band of black satin ribbon.
The hat was entirely novel. ItWas in
the form of a mall toque of white satin
and chiffon, trimmed at the front with
two immense pompons, one of silk and
the other of chiffon.
The exceeding prettiness of this very
nice afternoon calling gown was such as
~ ~ ~ Ito SooC III d. NtIiSiucId-
BILE. AS a calling gown it could be worn,
or as a reception dress. 1t might also
figure as a model design for the bride at
a church wedding.
So great is the vogue for the bodice,
separate yet to match. that brides who
do not get married in white satin. are
wearing these separate bOdices and skirts
when the nuDtial mot is tied.
Those who, in their blindness, supposed
that the end of all novelties in waists
had come, have a surprise in store for
them in the La LOieboGice which can be
Worn as a separate waist or can match
the skirt.
Fancy a leaf green figured taffeta en-
broidered with a black vine which takes
is way over the material in the cd
fashioned style, familiar to our grand
parents. Perhaps in al old silken quilt
YOU nay have a 'block" of green taffeta
embroidered with a vine in this self same
way. .,44,t
This bodice isopen in front to reveal a
broad vest. 1t has lapels that turn smart
~ back and it is trimmed around the |
sleeves and bust with bands of black
velvet ribbon.
The vest, yoke and lapels are or white
Liberty VIZ covered with Brussels lace.
For a bert Shere is a smart ribbon and
bow of green talfeta.
