BULLS EYES.

The good are great in many cases

THE TEAGOWN'S DAY.
Fashionable Women Delight in Max
ing 1t a Work of Art.
Wonderful Creations Seen In the
Ateliers OF Cbicago'x Master
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
Their Charms.
[speeIal chIcago Letter ]

T1OWADAYS no wardrobe, even
mi though it be fine and elaborate,
kA is considered fashionable or up
to date unless it contains one or more
teagowns. As it happens to be near
ing the time when this absolutely in
dispensible garment will be most in de-
mand, and as there are many interest
ing things to say concerning il, as well
as its very near relation, the charm
ing little teajacket, l have decided to
make them part of my theme this
month.
Teagowns have been, and stin are,
wonderful creations to look upon, full
of intricacies and details. All sorts
of materials enter into their construc-
ton, from the handsomest brocaded
satin down to the pretty and rather in
expensive French delaine, which fab
ric, by the way, is very much sought
after for smart afternoon frocks.
Chiffon and soft taffeta silk COM
bined make an ideal teagown, while
the somewhat newer and exceedingly
handsome Empire embroidered satin
offers well-nigh unlimited scope for
the ingenuity Of the clever and arts
tic modiste. Crepe de chine loses none
of its charms when exploited in the
teagown of the moment, and the same
is TO be remarked of the lovely crepe
cashmere, which is TO be reckoned
among the most delightful novelties of
the season.
The styles and designs in the tea
gowns brought out this season are
almost without limit. They have
never been more beautiful. They are
quaint, picturesque and entirely out
of the ordinary run of the so-called
teagown. Some of the most charm
ing models / have seen, and which
will be the fashion for some time to
come, are the semi-Empire effects;

SUDDENLY JACK SAID. LET COR


Please sit here, hold this rope so;
III tell you how to work it. If 1
call let go-drop the rope imme-
dia ,ely. The end is fastened; it will
not get away from you"
The skipper came TO the front
the lover had no time now TO probe
the depths OF his hurt. Barbara kept
her eyes furtively on him, followed
his directions, and the boat cut
through the water IN a mist of spray
She WAS fond of sailing, but knew
nothing whatever about boats, or
skies, or seas, or she might have at
tributed some of the strained anxiety
she saw in Jacks face To concern
about he squat which was all but
on them.
Suddenly Jack said: Let go!" in
a strange, hushed kind of voice She
turned to look at him; her fingers
seemed riveted te the rope; she held
it tighter than ever.
Let go." 1t struck her almost like
a blow. She had never been SO spoken
TO in her life-something between a
yen and roar, as if he were training
a dog-a master commanding a slave.
She dropped the rope, franticalIy
shaking her hands free of it. The
sail swung out just in time. The gust
passed. After that it was a straight,
if stiff. run in. Barbara sat tremb-
ling, seeing only Jacks set face,
white under all the tan. That white
face betrayed his terror for her
safety-she knew it was not for him.
self-just at the moment when he
seemed to have thrown away all his
usual Chivalrous courtesy toward her,
forced a swift conviction to clutch
her heart. This was a different Jack
from the one she had known here
tofore.
When they reached the hotel Jack
said, with ceremonious politeness: "r
beg your pardon for speaking so to
you, but your life was in danger"
She flashed on him look he had
never seen before.
Jack, don't take it back! / didn't
know you could speak so. 1t fright
ened me-but loved It'll"
"Did it make you love me ;nore?"
Mute assent, but apparently salts
factory to Jack.
"And you will be my goddess and
my angelo"
A smothered voice answered: per

that train."-Chicago Tribune.

that is to say, the waist is defined by a
wide belt of embroidery which is made
slightly pointed in front, thus accentu-
ating the waist in a somewhat more
becoming manner than is done by the
regular Empire style. Another de-
cidedly pretty model, and one that will
prove more generally becoming than
the gown just described. has Il tight
fitting back and loose flowing front,
which is held in place by means of a
broad sash-usually fashioned Of some
kind of fine transparent material

soft lace draped about the shoulders.
Mounted on batiSte lining. cut in
semi-Empire style and with a sash to
tie at the bust-line and falling in
loose ends at the left side. such a fab
ric is effective in spite of its ineNpen-
siveness. The yoke and sleeves might
perchance be of lace or else of all-over
embroidery. 1t is the teagown of this
order that may be composed of rem
nants, and at the same time present
smart appearance.
Another capital idea for party tea
gown, and one which almost any one
would be able to carry out, is to util-

seems to grow more and more efficient
at this important work. The all-con-
quering Empire sash below the bust
line will hide the joining in the skirt
and waist completely.
/ might mention in passing that
this sash-preferably made of some
soft fabric-is often of two or more
colors, and when these colors are
in perfect harmony the whole effect
is charming indeed, The sleeves to
such a gown would be easy to ma
nipulate. They could be gagged at
the elbow and any contrasting ma
terial used to form the puff nm
derneath. Another way to use past
seasons frocks is to have them
cleaned and well pressed and used
as Hnderdresses for muslin tea
gowns. These make admirable
foundations with the coats or stoIes
of lace or oriental embroidery
which are so popular just now
Now, surely, 1 have given you an
insight into the intricacies of the
modern teagown which, always re-
member, to look its best must never
err on the side of too much plain
ness. In fact it is the one garment
In which ones fancy for decoration
can absolutely run riot. However
beautiful and elaborate the gown
may happen to be it never gives one
the uncomfortable feeling of being
overdressed for the occasion, added
to which is the certain knowledge
that In exploiting It's beauty the

days, we have little to fear from its
popularity. In the new skirt models
the clinging effect is still adhered to,
as far as the knees, but they are
fuller at the feet than ever before,
while on the trains there is an end
less amount of ruches and fine gath
erings which make them look very
much fuller than they really are.
In spite Of the fact that linen has
always been considered an essential
ly summer material, many of the
handsomest tailor-made gowns are
fashioned of this beautiful fabric.
These costumes are intended for
early autumn wear and come in dark
tones of brown. blue and green. To
judge by the looks of these gowns
they seem by no means easy to
make; that Is. l do not advise the
amateur dressmaker to attempt one,
for linen is a difficult material to
manipulate and does not look well
unless strapped and pressed after
the approved professional manner.
