The Savannah morning news., 1904-09-18

She will welcome a style that will
make every inch of her own height
count and yet be Inv fashion. This de-
sign shows a smooth mixture with an
extremely chose-fitting coat that
comes just to the curve of the hips
Pleats, running from shoulder to
waist-line, both back and front, add to
her apparent hight. All of the lines OF
this model. in fact, are intended to
induce that effect. The revers are
edged with a silk Persian trimming,
the straight-fitted vest is of fancy vel
vet, and the sleeves has a fiaring, cava-
lier cuff, deftly inlaid with velvet and
fancy braid.
How the Skirt is Made.
The skirt has long lines and shows
box pleats overlaid on each of the five
cores while the intervening cores,
four in number, are slashed at the
knee to admit an inverted box pleat.
The fit at the hips is smooth. while
the fullness at the hem is quite seven
yards, and the long lines of the pleats
complete an appearance of hight,
slenderness and style. The petite girl
will find this model Irresistible, and
her sister of more generous inches
will also find it equally becoming.
The very tall girl naturally likes to
show that she dares to wear gowns
which would strike terror to her
friends who are blessed with fewer
Enthusiastically she revels in her abil-
ity to wear a many-tiered costume. A
costume specially suited to this tall,
slender girl, but which the stout wo-
man must shun. is built with three
TERED skirt, with a skirted jacket,
which gives the effect of fourth tier.
The Autumn Material.
The material is one of the costume
fancies of the autumn; a rough home
spun, in gray tones, with a. broken
plaid bouretted in white, and a large
black coin-spot scattered at reasonably
close intervals. The coat is somewhat
on the blouse order, fitted back and
sides, and sagging ever so slightly in
front. There is a fitted, pointed belt
to which hip basquines are attached,
and the skirt is built with a pleated
tablier front and three shaped
flounces; these. like the cape, are edg-
ed with a fancy mohair braid that con-
trasts well in its silky finish with the
rough grays Of the homespun goods.
During the summer many costumes
have shown combination of blouses
and suits. The heaviest of linen tail
ored suits have demanded the filmiest
of net and lace blouses, while chemi-
settles, half-sleeves and other access
scented an equally amazing contrast
Next winter blouses for wear with
tailored suits will be simpler and more
tailored.
Silks In Old COIors.
Silks are offered in all the coloss
which will tone with the mannish ma
terials shown in tailored suits. The
variety of plain, striped and figured
wooden waistings shown indicates that
the rage for harmonious combinations
in blouses and two-piece suits is at
hand. Especially pretty for the Sc
verely tailored gown is the tailored
taffeta blouse of brown and white or
black and white shepherds plaid.
The importers, anticipating the day
of the tailored gown, are showing a
complete new line of silk vestings in
the neutral tones many of which are
thanGt embroidered in the most ex-
quisite patterns. An ecrue shade of silk
is embroidered in f1eur-de-lis in the
new shade Of reddish orange. Japanese
hand-work is seen on many vest pat
terms in Oriental tones.
