Helpful Hints on What to Wear and
How to Wear Il.
| Buttons in every conceivable size.
shape, color and kind are worn, smok-
ed pearl and silk being the favorites.
Sienna or burnt orange, 80 fashion,
able in the early fall. has lost it's pres
tige, and more subdued shades are ia
vored.
- Light colored braid or fagotting
freshens up a slightly dingy or dark
costume. and is invaluable for the be-
tween season gown.
High closely fitting. collars, less
comfortable but more becoming than
the present low collars, will be feat
ure Of next seasons style.
For made-over gowns, lace yokes
or trimmings Of braid are more effec-
tive than any other trimming avail
able. A lace bertha may be used as
well and always makes a charming
| finish.
For the woman who desires indi-
viduality, a good plan, and an econ
omical one, as well, Is to adopt a
certain color for each season and wear
only that color. This obviates the in
congruous mixing of colors into which
some women are forced because they
cannot afford hats, gloves, etc., for
each costume. and 1t Is effective as
| well.
1T is an economy to make for one
self, out of small remnants OF linen
or lawn or narrow wash laces, pretty
turnovers and neck rufles, the latter
now so greatly In fashion. For long
| neck or a rather thin one q ruffie made
Of inch wide lace gathered to tiny
band Of white swiss, is very becoming.
A finish Of the same tiny lace at the
wrists smartens up winter gown
wonderfully.
One serious defect in home dress
making, especially in tailor gowns. is
found in the fitting Of the coats, suf-
fcient width not being allowed across
the shoulders in the attempt to secure
a good At. The width Of the back Is
not increased by coat made wide
enough across the shoulders, and II
curved in at the sides just at the waist
line, 1t will be far more becoming
than IL narrow above.
- The new brown Is curious shade,
unlike anything that has appeared
throughout all this fad in brown,
which has turned our streets into So
ber-looking affairs. 1t Is neither
bronze nor onion brown, but rare
shade between that has all the rich
ness and life Of light color without
for an instant losing the little air of
usefulness and every-dayness that is
indelibly associated with the idea Of
brown.
-Soutache braid will be extensively
used to decorate handsome cloth suits
this spring. The braid must match
the fabric that 1t embellishes. A re-
Gently imported model Of white cloth
has the full skirt braided intricately
to q point some distance above the
knees in fine silk soutache. The bolero
is almost covered with the braid. The
blouse of heavy white chiffon cloth is
trimmed In lace and motives Of braid
ed cloth.
Mature has given to the fingers of
woman charming art which she
knows by instinct, and which is pecu-
liarly her own-as silk to the worm,
and lace-work to the swift and subtle
spider. She Ia the poet, the interpre-
ter of her own grace and ingenuouss
ness, the spinner Of the mystery In
which her wish to please arrays itself.
All the talent she expends In her ef-
fort to equal man in the other arts, Is
never worth the spirit and conception
wrought out through a bit Of stuff In
her skillful hands" 3l
-Taffeta, lousine, chiffon, crepe de
chine and soft French flannel are all
In demand for the separate waist that,
all reports to the contrary, is still FASH
ionable. The waist Of the same color
as the skirt, even when Of different
material, can be made in simple or
elaborate design, as desired. Hand
work in embroidery, as well as in tucks
and pleats, is one Of the principal fea-
lures Of this years model, but, none
the less, there are many charrningly
pretty waists whose only embellish-
ment is found in the collar, cuffs and
belt.
- 1t is rather early for predictions
about the colors which will be most
worn for the spring, but the best au-
thorities judging from the past season
are inclined to carnation pink, null
berry, faded" red, and wine color,
leather brown, sapphire and turquoise
blue, and all the "gooseberry" tints.
With regard to fabrics, they favor
linen, rajah and birmingham silk, chif-
fon and poplin, dimities, veilings, and
pongee. Striped silks and muslins will
be much worn.
Is to be extensively for spring and
summer costumes. At least these cos
tunes are called cloth creations, but
they are in reality combinations OF
lace and cloth, lace in many instances
predominating. One Of the newest
costumes Of very light weight white
cloth has long redingote Of the cloth
which is worn over lace skirt. There
is also a bolero-like arrangement OF
the lace that decorates the coat. The
sleeves are slightly wrinkled In the
inside seam, but are tight-f1tting,
blousing only little at the shoulders.
Sleeves continue to remain the chief
point Of interest in the current and
coming modes. Many gowns are made
with perfectly tight sleeves, and sew
eral authorities assert that it is more
than possible that this Is to be the
sleeve of the near future. Again, there
are those that deem only a modified
leg-o'-mutton sleeve fashionable. Most
sleeves are short, even for street Co.'S
tunes. Again. there still remain some
ideas borrowed from the sleeve that
hung loose above the wrists. A close
cuff placed below the elbow may have
a jabot Of lace hanging from it, or, In
case Of wider cuffs the seam may open
