Sioux City Tribune:
AT last the managers of the Women's
dress departments of Sioux City depart
ment stores have made an announcement
that will be welcomed by him who pays
the bills as we'll as by her who displays
the dresses.
1T was said that orders had been sent
in for the new Casino gown, which has
made the dress sensation of the year in
the Cast.
Wonderful. indeed. is this gown, and
one for which mankind has been praying
these many years. Not only is this new
construction an aesthetic triumph, but it
has the unprecedented distinction of being
tit for wear on all occasions.
The Sioux City man who has been BAN
boozled out of his years earnings upon
the argument of his Wife or daughters
that every hour of the day and every sort
of social function requires Il different at
tire. will now shake the Casino gown in
the face of woman and d~eterninedly de-
clare that is all she may have.
Then all hail to the Casino gown. Ii is
the salvation of mans pocketbook! The
triumph of economy. The Eureka OF the
modiste's art!
is a Whole Wardrobe.
1t is the gown which is to take the place
of a whole wardrobe. In the morning II is
a neat shopping gown, on the sfsirtwaist
suit order. In the afternoon a few addi-
lions of trimmings, such as lace yokes for
the skirt and waist, and presto. 1t becomes
IA dainty gown for the afternoon tea, a
calling gown, or anything OF the sort.
Later the trimmings are changed for more
elaborate ones, and. behold, 4 stunning
reception gown. 1t is not a gown for one
season or one time. 1t is correct Tor
spring and summer autumn and wiate..
This Casino gown is not a creation of
convenience for the woman of moderate
means. 1t is Il fad, but though The state

BILE one. 1t puts the possibility of being
always we'll dressed in the reach Of many
women who could not afford TO keep up
with the times with an elaborate ward

The woman with the slim pocketbook
should take advantage of her opportunity,
and make hay while the sun shines. In
other words, be we'll dressed while there

women Will have an opportunity to follow
in the footsteps of their eastern sisters,

Description Of the Gown.
One of the Casino gowns, described hy a
Sioux City dressmaker, is made OF gray
canvass of the shade of gray that never
goes out of style. 1t is almos, a silver
gray and the skirt Is very fun. Ii is
tucked around the hips and around the
foot theresare three little tucks. The style
is one that will not go out this season.
Now comes the pretty part of the skirt.
There is a yoke of Irish crochet lace,
heavy and dyed gray, the exact shade of
the gown. The yoke is adjustable and is
fastened around the waist by a belt which
is put on after the skirt.
When the wearer so desires she can

substitute one of black lace, thus trans
forming the gown without detracting any
thing from its style.
Or she can do still better. She can ap-
lply a deep hip yoke of lace through which
she can thread ribbons. thus making one
of those new hip yokes. all threaded with
narrow sands of black, immensely pretty
and stylish.
The waist has a round blouse. SHRED
across the yoke with heavy rope shirrines
and finished with a yoke of Irish crochet
trimmed with long motifs of lace. Lace

Ruffles Should BE Used.
IT is a good idea to trim q Casino gown
with rufties. as r~uflirg is going 10 be very
much the thing. and will be used ON every
style of gown.
Figured silks will be used considerable
for the less substantial Casino gowns.
These will have removable trimmings. so
that the gown can be worn for afternoon
as a plain dress on the Shirt waist suit
plan, or as a reception dress for evening
The Casino gown is really nothing more
