The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-07-09
Written for the Sunday Standard.

There is one thing / don't think
have talked to you confidentially about
and that is the new. elaborate foulards
this year. They are made soft, and nc
longer set ones teeth on edge as the
foulards of yore We're apt to do.
OF course. everything is SOFT this
year and so can cling around us in
mysterious folds.
Now, there are foulards and foufards,
the very smartest being quite garden
party creations. They are generally in
very light pinks or grays, with black
and white satin spots.
But the foulard which appeals to me
most at the moment is that which is
really suitable for morning wear. 1t is
made in black blue or navy and white
1t is a bright shade of navy l like
best, trimmed with Wnlte-Wnlte sldce
or taffeta for preference.
A little frock / have in my minds
eye has rather large powdered wh1te
spots on smooth, satin-faced ground
of darkest blue. Rhe bodice discloses
transparent vest of white muslin,
with large tucked revers, and hem
stitched frill of white taffeta, which
goes right into the waist, which rs en-
circled by a narrow dark blue waist
band giving the neatest possible ap-
pearance The skirt Is tight and long,
fastening at the side with two tucks OF
the white. and tiny frill OF the hem

the bodice This goes down the side
of the skirt and is continued round
the hem forming the most effective
addition, and yet not imparting an
overturned appearance.
saw this worn in the morning. with
a cream gripure toque, trimmed with
white, and accompanied by a scarlet
paraSol.
How successful for one of the few
women who look well in mauve, is
lavender toilette in foulard. Here,
again I saw a lovely example, the
foundation being Of pale lavender, pow
dered with black and white satin spots.
1t seemed to have kind OF tune or
double skirt outlined with narrow pink
velvet ribbon. There was also touch
of pink velvet in the mauVe chlnon at
the neck, forming sailor tie, and u
suspicion OF black velvet fancy ribbon
running round the three shaped frills
on the skirt. This was worn with
untitled hat of brown straw wreathed
in pink and purple roses, completed by
pink parasol and a buttonhole of
malmaison carnations of the same hue.
These mixtures of pink and maure
appeal to my fancy where they SUIT

and glorious coloring.
For afternoon wear there are many
foulard gowns with lace insertion
made up over glace silk or satin OF
some contrasting color. In all cases
the foulard is cut away from under
the lace insertion. so that the silk or
satin lining will show through the lace,
and In that way form a most effect
i've kind of trimming. A blue, green
and white foulard, for instance, looks
charming made up over green silk and
trimmed with insertions of fine black
lace We are reversing the order of
things this season, that is, we are, as
1 have just told you. wearing silken
fabrics in the morning and cotton ones
in the afternoons. For instance, there
is decided fancy for lilac drills-pale
lilacs and mauves. These are made
with band bodices, and very often a
muslin and lace inserted vest and a
tie d white or colored crepe de chine
Then a very smart butcher blue drill
was lined with mauve silk and trim

collar of the same. This Is a very chic

don't use an inch more material than is
absolutely necessary.
