FAINT effect of skirt, sleeve and blousing
bodice.
And yet the New York dressmakers
insist that the tight sleeve is coming
back. The fullness which was at the
wrist a year ago crept to the elbow and
is now at the top, although sleeves of
this design are not very COMMON in
Topeka OF course when the puff al
the top goes out there will be nothing
for US but the tight sleeve but there is
no reason to suppose that it is irumin-
ent. popular sleeve for evening
gowns is shirred almost to the elbow
and ends with a number of graduated
frills.
Roman stripe girdles and stocks look
well with white linen and pique tub
suits.
Chantilly lace is again coming into
vogue for wells. Most of the elaborate
wells worn for beauty rather than util-
ity are draped to form long broad ends
and drOOp loosely over the hat brim.
The made veil still is worn.
In shoes all the new ties are lower
than those of last season. Indeed the
popular model for dress and outing is
the pump, with one or at most two
eyeletS which the big silk bows entirely
conceal. These come in light and heavy
soles but the heels are in all cases on
the Cuban order. Some of them are
very exaggerated in height and it must
be confessed that they are swagger,
whether they are hygienic or not But
the high Cuban is less injurious than
the nigh French heel for the reason
that it offers a substantial support
French heels are still worn of course
but are confined to light weight shoes
and it must be insisted upon that they
are never good form for the street al
though some fashionable women affect
them entirely. French heels are seen
on tan shoes for the first time this
year. The brown suede complete the
all-brown costume prettily. White
canvas shoes will be worn as usual
with white shirt waist suits this sum

Fine cotton embroideries are more
fashionable than lace although lace
is used in fancy designs, medalllOns
and rufties. Old fashioned trimmings
are appearing on modish gowns, such
as pinked ruftes. Suede is being used
for exclusive dresses, leaf green and
orange having the cachet of fashion
in the east. A beautiful costume
made by a Topeka gown builder for
a pretty Kansas girl who often visits
here and is very popular IN local so
ciety circles and who goes soon to the
Atlantic coast for the summer is of a
shepherds plaid wool in a pale green
and white trimmed with narrow bands
of soft white kid The plated skirt
/ has a trimming of these narrow straps
about the hips, the wide collar and
/ deep cuffs are similarly finished and
/ there is a deep girdle of the white
kid with big square gold buckles
/ Wide wrist frills of white chiffon
finish the sleevs. A pale green bodice
/ of liberty silk trimmed with exquisite
cream lace goes with this suit.
Featherboned underskirts have ap-

some to be the fOrerunners of hoops.
