THE NEW SHIRT WAISTS.
Pretty and Dainty Materials anu
How They Are Made Up.
;nl


| New YORK;. March 9.-Among the vcIJ
daintiest and prettiest Of the Slit
waists, which are to be quite as fash
| ionabia the coming season as they
| have ever been, the white ones will be
| the first choice So many new and
| pretty kinds of stuff are offered fer The
| purpose thai one Las but to choose.
Tie fine and transparent linen batistes
and fine lawns are first in popularity
for the coming summer, but they are
followed closely by the linens and the
white mercerized goods. OF these there
is no end
Butchers linen makes stylish waists,
and they Lave the merit CT being SO
solid tat the more they are Numbered
the prettier they are. Tucks, flaps with
embroidery Oh them and insets Of
heavy lace are all see,l upon the new
waists. The heavier goods, such as the
cheyiot and basket Weaves in cotton.
the thick Irish linens and the heavy
linen crashes, are hand embroidered.
sometimes in colors. The thinner quail
tiles have fine lace inset and applied in
many other fancies.
A very dainty conceit is shown in the
illustration where the inset lace is laid
along the edge of the tucked portion
and around the collar. The pattern is
made up Of alternate pieces, one being
round and the next square. They are
cut apart; and the squares are set down
the front as diamonds, with a little
narrow lace to match around them
The round ones are treated the same
way, forming a dainty and effective
trimming.
The sleeves are tucked down a trif1e |
below the elbow and then left to form !
a full sleeve to gather into the band. |
Others are made with the lace inset |
along the front and with tucks spread |
out wider OH the shoulders. The pres
ent fashion is for the shoulders to be |
broad, and the shape of everything is
made so. The wider the sleeves are at |
the wrists the better. There is not so
pronounced a dip as there was, and,
take them all in all, the shirt waists
are worthy a recognized place in fash
ion.
lar, wide or narrow, as the wearer may
fancy, generally made SO that it can
be left off at will. 1t somehow gives /
the impression Of a tea jacket or a
dressing sack, but is desirable, all the
same. The fronts Of the waists can be
made as elaborate as one desires. but
lace and tucking and embroidery are
part and parcel Of the whole. Sailor
,ollars made of fine batiste and insets
md bordered with lace are much liked.
rhey can be worn with anything, even
Inc silk waists.
After the wash linens, batistes and
heavier white goods come the wash
'ilks, and they are many and beauti-
The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1903-03-15

ful. 1t is a question as to which is
preferable. The white goods for these
extra fashionable waists are, first, the
japanese washable silk, the corded silk
and the rich armure silks. These last
are not washable, but the waist made
of it is so very lovely that one cannot
refrain from mentioning it. The linens
are batistes, CLEANLINESS, voiles, checks,
basket weaves, bourettes, suitings and
embroidered fax cloth. This last is
nearer ike the old fashioned home
spun linen crash brought over here by
the immigrants in olden times. But it
IS coarse enough to be extremely styl-
lsh and is unbleached. Tt makes IN
into really handsome suits for summer
wear and into unique waists. Bulga-
Ran embroidery is clearly indicated as
suitable trimming for this material.
Russian crashes of every kind are
also shown as shirt waist material,
and many are made Of it. The Russian
crash is for the most part made in self
color, but some of it has a twill of two
natural shades. Garner and soft green,
sucn as is the natural color Of the fax
stalks, are shown.
For suits for early spring there are
some handsome and useful stuffs, most
" running to cameFs hair weave. with
hairs lying loosely over the surface of
tne goods Naturally the material is
not SO heavy as it has been all winter.
sui the goods in skirts are heavier
than they have generally been. The
waists are not so thick, and in that
way the skirt may be much heavier
without discomfort to the wearer. The
camePs hair Is fifty-two inches wide,
and each color is represented in eight
shades, and all have that delicate frost
OF fine hairs hanging over the surface.
Ihere are many shades and colors OF
voiles, and many in black.

to the greater question of the parti-
ton of southeastern Europe, which
would follow the overthrow of Otto
man rule. More than likely some sort
of an understanding has already been
reached By the great powers with re-
gard to this dividing up of the sultan's
do1ninions.
It is hardly probable that the Mace
domains would at present be given
that independence for which they so
eagerly yearn. In the minds of Euro
pean statesmen the population of
Macedonia, made up as it is of many
races and diverse religions-Bulga-
rians, Greeks and Turks-is not pre-
pared for self government. The most
feasible scheme seems to be the gov
erning of Macedonia by a representa-,
tive Of the great powers under a plan
Ike that which has worked with ap-
parent satisfaction in Crete, where by
reason of conditions similar to those
IN Macedonia the sultan was forced by
the powers 20 grant joint protectorate
over the island, with Greek prince as
Its governor.
