Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-07-31

The little nothings" which go to
make up fashionable attire nowadays
far exceed the cost of the dress ma
terial and in fact seem to be more
distinguishing feature than the style
of garment. After all, what style of
gown is not de rigueur at the moment?
There are full skirts or tight skirts,
with panels or without, trimmed
lengthwise or crosswise, and every
kind of waist is likewise given the up
to date touch with some of the thou
sand and one accessories now in vogue.
Among these trinkets are necklaces of
diamonds, coral. gold or pearl beads,
pendants, clasps, buckles and buttons,
all of the jeweled order.
The tendency in dress is TO copy pic
turesque effects of earlier days, and
there are few artistic results, but the
character and the life of the American
girl do not warrant the "clinging vine"
coStuming.
Fichus which depend for their grace
upon the manner of draping are the
height of the mode and suit youthful
figures, giving that broadening touch
at the shoulders which is becoming to
English women in general. These
nchuS may be IN Marie AntOlnette
style or la Montespan or a In Pompa-
dOur or, in fact. so arranged as the in
dividual fancy thinks best. The new
est are exquisitely hand embroidered
on the finest lawn or cambria. family
butter colOrcd aud some are shaped in
n rounded piece without any frills,
ready for placing on the shoulders, and
knOtting in front.
Those of us who have ancient chests
lowered with relics of ancestresses'
gowns would do well to institute a
hunt, for the DANES of the last century
were noted for the beauty of their
fichus, and the present day embroider-
les cannot exceed the olden ones. AS
n natural accompaniment short elbow
sleeves appear on the newest foulards
and muslins, with full elbow ruffies.
These are far more likely to be worn
by good dressers than the much talked
of and written about sleeve of the fif-
ties, which is rather quaint than pref
ty, though there is charm about it for
tea gowns and wrappers.-Brooklyn
Citizen.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-07-31

see that the fronts of the waist from
the underarm seam to the gathers are
smooth on the figure; then pin each
side securely down to the corset on a
line with the back This done, the
dress skirt may be put on and that fas-
tened in the back TO the skirt with the
fourth pin. About the waist then goes
the belt, and the arrangement is COM
plete.
Shirts are sometimes made with a
gathering string which pulls from the
back Of the waist, tying in front, and
these are worn by number of deluded
women who fancy that because they
tie q string about the waist they are
getting Il trig effect. On the contrary.
of all shirts this style is most sloppy"
The gathers spread unbecomingly, pull
up out of place, and after an hour of
wearing the whole waist has the ap-
pearance of trying to wrest itself from
its owner.
Some women have eyes sewed on the
backs of their shirts, with correspond
ing hooks on the dress skirt. This, as
far as it goes, is recommended for trig-
ness, but is disastrous TO the shirt, for
the weight of the skirt is often too
great strain. Moreover, the eyes fire.
quently tear the fabric in the wash
and never fail to rust. leaving two bad
stains.
Shirt waists wrinkled In front and
back, pulling up from the belt and
generally askew, are more commonly
seen than is necessary. There is no
reason why they should not fit as we'll
as the body of n tailor gown Rut If
does not all lie with the shirtmaker.
The woman must do her part. He will
fit the thing WELL but is defrauded of
bones to guarantee its perfect shape.
So the woman, if she be trig, shapes it
herself. And this she does by pulling !
it in close all around to her figure and
firmly fastening 1t to her corsets with
three long white headed pins.

Are There Too Many CIubsf

In her annual address Mrs. p. L.
Sherman, the retiring president of the
Chicago Woman's club, gave utterance
to a statement likely to be indorsed by
many club women. oh" she said,
for a brilliant inspiration for some
thing for a substitute for essays which
form so prominent a part of our pro-
grammes! The ideas are good, but the
form of presentation is monotonous-"
She considered that this avalanche of
essays, which now overwhelms the
world of women's clubs, is lessening
the attendance. Another cause, too,
for the same result she put in this
way: 81 fear the club pendulum has
swung too far and that too many wO-
men belong TO too many clubs. 1 do
not say that too many women belong
to clubs. There are signs, however,
that the reaction has commenced and
that we are seriously considering pro-
tecting ourselves against club dissipa-
tion.'-Harper's Bazaar.
