J derful dressmaking house.
Ihey are still telling tales of the
marvellous gowns that are being made
! Tor MISS Elsie French. the next in or
/ DER OF the Vanderbilt brides. One mo-
! ulSte was showing a hundred or more
| tulle bows, some for the neck, others
! Tor the hat strings. They were made
| with long ends, beautifully embroidered
IN colors. Hyacinths, violets, roses in
| their leaves, carnations and brilliant
! little red flowers were upon the ends
OF these dainty neck creations. Many
OF them formed the finish of stocks that
hooked in the back, upon stiff foun-
dation, over which the streamers of
tulle were to be carried around and
around the neck and tied in front.
HAT STRINGS.
Those intended for the hat strings
were of slightly different design. The
bow was d made" one to be fastened
under the left ear. Nor was white the
only color All the pastel shades in
palest pink blue, green, violet and
cream were made up in these delicate
bows and skillfully finished. Happy
the bride who can put so feminine a
Itch
are wearing these bows with tailor
made dresses, thus giving them the
light airy finger so much missed in
these days when severity is the test of
skill.
AT Longchamps you see many hand
some kownS, for all the world goes to
the races. Here there are the tailor
made dresses, modish, trim and ele-
CANT. How one admires and envies the
woman in perfect fitting gown! How
clever all the world of women would
be if only all gowns were to fit like
some of these. Looking at the new
tailormade dresses, snug as though
moulded upon the figure, one does not
marvel that the wearers are brilliant
and vivacious; who could not show vi
vacity in a satin faced cloth, in any
one of the new shades, lined with silk,
rustling and delecately scented as they
scent gowns these days, and fashioned
in the becoming long lines! All, who, |
indeed
Those who, after reading Paris fash |
ions, are in the habit of designing their !
own gowns can rest assured that the /
fashions. as now seen. will not change |
soon. Skirts are fulled in the back, !
sleeves are tighter and there are sleeve
caps upon ali; boleros are the thing in |
tailor made coats, and all bodices are
made with vests. The old-fashioned
basques are coming back and sep
arate' waists are worn, in basque
style. The separate waist, by the way,
is not as quite as popular, except as a
summer shirt waist. Otherwise the,
waist conforms to the skirt, in color
and in design, if not in actual materially
Many modistes design three waists for
every skirt. For a skirt of tan with
Nile green tunic, there is bodice of
tan and white; another of Nile green
and pink, and one of black with vest
IF green, and so through the list of
so-a-E.
