Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1903-11-14
Especial to Evening Teller.)

week has not brought forth anything
startlingly new in the way of fashions,
but the models which have been intro
duced have satisfied the incessant de-
mand for original and artistic gowns
and their accessories.
A number of very dainty calling and
at home frocks are seen in the shops
nowadays These are used to bring out
the new tints of the season, the most
of which can be worn by the average
woman, Osiris, the latest green, is a
possible exception. but this can be cas-
lily overcome by the generous use of
white about the throat
A graceful design which has attract
ed much attention and con be dupli-
Gated easily in a less expensive mater
ial and trimmings is shown in Osiris
tinted wolfe over white silk. The skirt
has eleven cores, just half of the TWEEN
ty-two which were predicted for ultra
smart skirts at the beginning of the
season, and these cores are outlined
with feather stitching. The skirt is
finished very simply at the bottom with
a shallow flounce and the meerest sug-
gestion of q train.
The bodice. though, is a more ornate
affair 1t has a deep square yoke of
French lace and is laid in box plaits.
Three of the plaits are continued over
the yoke in the front and back, while
the collar is composed of alternate
bands of white mousseline and wolfe.
The sleeves are of wolfe to the elbow
from this point, however, they continue
in large balloons of lace.
Happily the original rather than the
quaint and picturesque is the rule in
headgear this season and as result
1t is not so difficult to select hat that
lis becoming and as the same time ul-
ira smart With the gown just de-
scribed a cream white pressed beaver
is worn. The crown is sunk into
brim which is wide at the front and
sides, but becomes quite narrow at the
back. Waving across the front is an
immense white ostrich plume on
either side of the crown are rosettes
of Crisis and white satin ribbon with
ends trailing to the back and fastened
under the brim in another rosette.
Where the brim is up-turned at the
nesting fondly against the hair.
Papal purple which Is really more
of a mauve tint is another of the sea-
sons new colorings. Its peculiar shade
makes 1T essentially day color; the
artificial lights of evening almost in
! variably clash with it and spoil the
effect A smart French gown in this
shade is developed in mistral cloth over
a foundation of mauve taffeta. The
skirt is draped over the hips in de-
lightfully simple fashion without a
wrinkle. Six deep bayadere folds of
the material are appliqued around the
bottom and each is headed with mar
row black and white silk braid.
The bodice is made over a fitted lin
ing and has hand-sewn tucks at the
back. Encircling the waist is deep
girdle which stands high at the back.
but slopes in a point toward the front.
Across the shoulders and halfway
! down the front is a beautiful Irish lace |
collar. fitting in to form a yoke, this
lace also being employed for the high |
stock collar and deep cuffs on the
sleeves. The puffs of the sleeves are
trimmed with bayadere folds to match |
the trimming on the skirt.
Completing tie costume is large |
black beaver hat trimmed with masses |
of shaded purple ribbon and black os-
trich tips.
Society women have taken to a new |
fad in the form of wells and the most /
novel effects and designs are seen as |
a result. In the matters of expense they |
eclipse anything that has yet appeared. |
Many are hand embroidered or inter-
woven witty medaIlions of rare hand |
made lace. Others cover the face en- |
tirely, falling as low as the shoulders, |
being bordered with the most exquisite |
English thread imaginable. The effect |
is rich, if bizarre and the greatest ar
gument in favor of these wells is that
they are beyond the reach of ordinary |
mortals on account of their cost
1t is surprising how many fall and |
winter house gowns are made with the |
light and dainty effect of summer toll |
cites. At a glance they suggest prep
arations for fashionable watering re-
sorts, bat this thought is dispelled at
fripperies seasonable touch of fur or
other equally distinctive winter trim
ming is observed.
Another of the new green's is called |
bergamot, a soft pale shade suggesting |
mignonette under certain lights. In |
French nun yelling it is especially |
pretty. A charming toilette in this |
fapial has a rlinpiner trailing skirt |
tucked from the hem to the waistline |
and is intended for street as well as |
house wear because it is accompanied |
by stunning blouse of chinchilla |
trimmed with passamenterie in black |
and green. The back of the blouse has |
incongruous baswue tabs of notified |
grey MORE resembling chinchilla and |
the waist is confined with a belt of |
