and the space from there 10 the neck
is filled in with a fun putting of some
delicate white stuff, like silk null or
chiffon or fine net. This in turn Is
trimmed with fine black lace and vel
vet ribbon bands. The skirt Is made
just to touch the floor IN some cases
and IN others It trains on the ground,
according to the taste Of the wesrer.
Another distinguishing feature about
it is that there are many seams and
these give an appearance of slender
ness to the figure. The way this white
filling is set into the open space re-
minds one of the old fuckers worn
by the women in Revolutionary times.
The dress itself being so scanty and
this so full gives the wearer the APP
pearance of pushing her chest out alb
normally. But after all it is pretty.
The sleeves are mostly close to the ell
bow, and from there is another kind
of stuff from the material in the dress,
with a small rufIle of lace at the join
ing to simulate an undersleeye.
As TO sleeves, we all know that they
give the distinction to any garment,
and so they are important The bishop
shape with some notifications will
undoubtedly be the favorite. These
are capable Of 50 many slight changes
and are SO very comfortable that 1t is
n good thing to have them as a founda-
.tion for any special fancy one may
wish to develop in the way of sleeves.
Many of the new designs have them
of striped goods or of some kind Of
corded material and this is arranged
so that the stripes form part of the
ornamentatioq, and there 0rc very
wide upturneH cuffs. Some Of them
viii be cut off at the elbow. and from
there win be the underslceye which
one can now say win be one OF the
features of early fall attire But If
there are princess gowns as far as the
shape of the body is concerned there
will be great directoirc rcyers and col
lars and buttons of the finest work
almost jewels, so fine they are and 50
costly-to say nothing of their ornamen-
tai quality. And they viii not he found
for nothing in the streets, but must
be paid for, and that ut high price.
The higher the price the more desirable
they are.
] find | must return TO the question
of the princess again. for the subject
is not exhausted. because the trimming
of the skirt is so important. There are
some of the new models with turee
and four narrow and sometimes wide
flounces around the bottom, trimmed
in whatever way the waist portion
seems to require. Where the goods are
light the tlounces are most appropriate
ly trimmed with lace edgiue or narrow
ribbon and velvet or fine castle braid.
But there are a hundred other devices,
and all pretty. Naturally the tailor
suits shoNld have n garuiturc more in
keeping with the material. And there
is 10 be worn SO much broadcloth this
coming season!
] notice many vests upon the new
tailor suits. and there +. ain equal
number of short jackets i'm the Elton
ana figaro shapes so popular last
spring, There is no appreciahle differ
ence with those of this season. These
generally match skirts and are of stuff
suitable for tailor costumes. Yachting
suits are made now more often in
some of the most delicate shades OF
cravenette, in serge or fine cheviot, and
they are made much heater than ever
before, and almost the only trimming
is made by stitching; buttons also.
