The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-08-31

There are three things the modern wo-
man has which she has adopted because
they add to her beauty She must put
them on trial, charging them with max
ing her beautiful to the point of ugli-
ness. These things are the binding hat,
the veil, and the stiff collar.
The binding hat should be tried for it's
life. 1t is the chief conspirator against
lovely woman. The "short back" sailor
is the greatest offender 1t may be short
enough in the back. but it has a brim
that projects out in front like the roof
five of even eight inches in front of the
face. At first the effect of this was
quite chic. Then the brim Of this hat
began to droop until the forward tip was
on true level with the end of the nose.
The effect was picturesque to everybody
but those who had seen cows in the
, country that were addicted to jumping
fences and who had boards hung dowr
in front of their eyes. Anybody that
has seen a sad-faced cow throwing her
head back so as to peek out from under
this board had melancholy picture be-
fore him that prevented his admiring
the droop front hat which caused its
fair wearer to throw back her head and
gaze out from under in much the same
way. But this is of course quite another
story.
! To see under q hat Of this kind the
girl that wears it has to tilt her head
back to a degree that becomes painful
il prolonged. The direct effect upon the
brows, the muscles, and finally upon the
sight of the eyes has been discovered tc
be serious. A strain analogous to thai
which brings on strabismus must be en-
! dured, consciously or unconsciously, dur.

A physician says that the other day
while he was riding on the North Side
in a street car which was nearly filled
with women, he saw no less than foul

or medium collars, all of these further
notifications belong to the great va
riety worn.
Yokes also are much used, and they
are often continued down the front to
form a petal. The double flounce, very
full at the bottom OF skirts, continues
popular. For thin materials great
many shfrred fiounces are seen, and a
pretty style is to join flounce to upper
part of skirts with several rows Of
shirred in headings. Then they are
again shirred in headings over the hips
to give the yoke effect. The drapery

and are more covered than ever with
bouillonnes, ruches and flounces.
In conclusion must be mentioned the
n-corsage, which ought to be more
popular on account of the grace and con-
venience of it's shape. Like little girls
wasted frocks, it fits like a narrow
sheath, and is fastened behind or in
front with little buttons, which are not
visible. This permits of charming
fancies, and also protects the stays, TAX
ing the place of the cache corset; the
petticoat hangs we'll without difficulty,
and produces a very correct and stylish
effect which is very difficult to obtain
with the petticoat and cache corset
separate.

Fashions in Lingerie.

Smart underwear nearly always con-
sists of stays and petticoats to match.
The return to the white underlinen of
former days sometimes causes a depart
ure from this principle of refined style
but even'then grace and hygiene do not
lose their rights. Pretty petticoats with
simple embroideries have some into fash
ion again, of white jaconet with shaped
Hounce, openWOrked and embroidered for
travelling or morning wear. Embellished
with fine embroideries. incrustations Of
guipure, valenciennes or Mechin lace
made with a thousand little pleats or
light insertions. the exquisite lawn petit
coat may be worn with any dress. Under
the deep fiounce which forms half it's
length is b,Ntoned a hounce of soft tat
fetas yelled with mousseline de sole,
which makes a most charming founda-
ton and matches the color of the dress.
II is just the contrary of last year, when
a lawn flounce was fastened, to a berib-
boned insertion. on to a petticoat of elas-
tic taffetas. This new fashion seems
more refined and of absolute cleanliness,
since the whole petticoat can be easily
washed.
Silk petticoats will always find vota-
ries. for marvellous ones are made Of
pompadour silk. on which flounces Of
mousseline de sole. matching the colors
of the flowers. harmonize and from an
ideal trimming. On the liberty satin
petticoats which are commonly worn
the shaped flounce is composed of super
imposed diagonals, each accumulated by
a narrow embroidered braid.
On other nounces of pleated point
d'esprit tulle are barred with Greek key
patterns or festoons of black or white
comet ribbon. which produce a most
graceful and pretty effect.
Even for silk and fancy materials the
dominant color is white, and the most
usual trimming is mousseline de sole,
which takes incrustations exceedingly
well.
Petticoats are still rather long. very
close fitting at the hips. and spread out
like the corolla of q lilly at the bottom.

New Kinks in Fashions.

HE SKIRT OF a light mixed
brown canvas cheviOt suit is
finished in an exceedingly pref
ty fashion. There are inverted
box plaits on the lower edges,
beginning with one in the CEN
ter of the front of the
skirt, which is not deep
and fn 4 there the plaits continue at
intervals to the back, each plait making
big step higher until the last at the
sides Of the back is finished with big
box plat about three inches wide at
the top and broadening out fan-shaped
to the lower edge of the skirt and the
fulness falling over the last of the in
verified plaits on either side of the skirt,
1t is something the shape, of the old
bell skirt revived, the neY serpentine
skirt. very pretty and graceful and will
make the woman look simmer than
ever as it tapers down from the hips and
in just below the knees, and then far
ing out again to give room for the pref
ty swath of ruffles that every woman
loves to feel around her feet.
There is fiounce on many of these
skirts, not very deep in front, and rising
rather suddenly to the back. There are
bands of trimming above these founces
frequently, put on just where the skirt
is drawn in. and they give the effect
of making that indrawing line them
selves. There are some things in which
women delight because they are fashion
able; there are others which give them
a genuine pleasure aside from the at
tractive desire to be in the mode, and
this skirt is one Of them.
One item of fashion which seems to be
absolutely settled is the continued trim
ming of skirts. Really plain skirts are
not yet in sight even among the tailor
gowns, where endless rows of stitching
and strappings are used. Rufhes, frills
and tiny ruches abound on thin gowns
for evening wear, adding fluff and flare.
which is more pronounced than ever.
Gored skirts with flare at the bottom and
circular skirts will take the lead. Shaped
flounces are still used on cloth gowns.
and there is also the deep f1ounce finely
tucked or box plated half way down.
Yokes and fiat tucks or plaits will be
quite as popular as they have been dur
ing the past season. The selvedge bor-
der material lend themselves especial
ly to the tunic effects and are shown
in remarkably good designs, particular
ly in the voiles. canvas and lightweight
wool fabrics. Fine venetian and broad
cloths will be exclusively used for fine
tailor made gowns; next to choose from
will be the cheviots. tweeds, serges and
homespun cloths. A new satin cloth in
all colors is also shown. which makes
up charmingly for deliberately trimmed
winter gowns.
Black and white effects will again
dominate in the coming season and with
touch of bright red in some way, pos
Silly one or two narrow bands on the
collar. a rosette of chiffon at one side
of the bust or tiny bands of velvet fin
ished with gold buttons. Another new
material principally for tailor made
gowns Is burlap, which comes in light
grey, resembling canvas.
Much attention is being paid to the
new fall and winter outside garments;
many coats are made of soft satin lined
with oriental silk. The long Louis XIV

The Veil Habit.

There is story somewhere that some
people love so intensely that they hate.
Is it possible that women are adopting
styles and fashions that make them so
beautiful that they are threatened with
ugliness? This is paradoxical. but it is
true.
