edges of the panel.
Lingerie Petticoats.
Fashion DEGREES that lingerie petticoats,
all fluffy with lace or daintiest embroidered
muslin, shall be worn under silk gowns.
But on the other hand silk slips are to be
worn under linen and other wash dresses,
these being so inset with lace and open
embroidery that the effect of colored silk
cleaning through will be extremely chic.
Another pretty idea Is the use of pompa-
dour slips under transparent plain colored
materials. this giving the effect of the most
delicate Manipulating, changeable and elu-
sive in appearance. Such toilet was of
white silk gauZe with fine white satin stripe,
the slip having design in garlandS or
roses tied with blue ribbons on a ground
of palest mauve. The skirt was made with
several narrow flounces festooned on, tiny
blue ribbon being run between narrow
ruches that trimmed the flounces. The cor
sage was full over decollete lining of the
silk, the gauze shirred to the throat. The
brief elbow sleeves. ending in ruffies, were
tied with soft, wide blue ribbon, which
also composed the crushed girdle. with
featherbone strips used as necessary sup
ports in sides. back and front.
silk null in delicate tea rose pattern.
The skirt had two deep founces to the
knees. the null tucked and edged with en-
broidered null, from which fell a deep
founce of cream lace. The bodice was
tucked and arranged in surplice effect over
a vest of pale green chiffon, the deep glrdle
being of silk to match. as was also the
slip skirt and fitted bodice lining. The slip
had wide band of princess haircloth laid
in the hem of the slip to hold out the soft
full dress with it's many yards of fluffiness
at the feet.
Smart Rain Coats.
March winds and April showers bring
forth some very smart rain coats. OF
the many styles the one most favored by
the smart girl is the simple, perfectly tailor
ed English coat, which can be had not only
in coverts and mixtures, but also in the
lghtest of silk and silk and wool materials.
These coats are cut full in the skirt, with
easy-ftting waists and gracefully shaped
belts, the sleeves being large and roomy
enough to prevent crushing of the daintiest
blouse. Most of these coats have the very
suitable relief of velvet collars and cuffs.
An additional note of trigness is added In
the natty patent coltskin boots or shiny
leather Oxfords, and dainty spatS which
protect the delicate gauZe stockings that
match the costume.
There are really so many little items to
be considered in the details of correct dress
out to keep up to date The new hats,
for instance, have necessarily made changes
in couture necessary and many mistakes
will be made till every woman realizes the
fact that if she dresses her hair as 1t is
most becoming to her features, and then
selects the hat that sets well on this
couture. she will be surely au fait. The
deep regular wave has gone out with the
round pompadour. The locks are now done
in big misunderstanding waves, and arranged
in bandeauX over the brow and back from
the temples; and for those who dare, puHs
or curls low at the back. Every woman
should study her features and the effect or
different arrangements from every point OF
view then adhere to the style that suits
her best.
Turn Up Ten Inches.
Some of the new hats turn up ten or
twelve inches at one side or the back, and
tilt down in front. A little bandeau at the
front or side. where most necessary, lifts
the hat enough from the head to prevent
crushing the couture. These clustering
spring days. when the wind and ones head
gear are so much at variance, bring no
qualms to the woman who protects her locks
with the invisible hair net. Pretty combs
also find their place n the new coiffure,
the tremendous flare of the hats makes the
dressing of the hair of quite much i'm
portanCe as the chapeauX, be they large or
small The new hats are generally the
latter. some often just the little polo turban
with a plume of feathers at the side, perch
ed jauntily at the top of the head.
