Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-05-08

Of the laundress looking as perfect in shape
as before the Tubing process. This is one
of the tricks of the smartest dressmakers.
When they make tub gowns they must bear
In mind the future appearance OF their
handiwork.
AS departure from the regulation tailor
morning gown the sketch reproduced here
with is presented with the conviction that
nothing prettier could be designed for the
purpose. The woman who has a lurking
fondness for frills and fussiness may snap
her fingers at the tailor model and choose
this instead. Unlike its associates, this cos
tune is provided with a long skirt, and II
is one of the prettiest of it's kind. The glis-
tening white meteore is cut with two slight
ly fulled and wide ruffies trimming the
skirt The first one starts at the knees and
the second one is shirred to the bottom of
this and is about the same width. Head
ing each is a shaped trimming Of white
pique with tiny black dots and rows of
fancy white linen buttons outlining the
upper edge. The foot of the skirt is hem
med very simply.
There is a charming little vest or chemi
| settle of lingerie tucks and lace inserted be-
| tween the bloused surplce fronts of the
| bodice. 1t shows in a round effect at the
| throat, then grows narrower, finally diSap-
| pearing entirely below the bust The edges
| Of the bodice front are finished with a mar
row strip of dotted pique, with groups OF
| the same trimming buttons, and on the in
| side a fold of black which curves around
| the neck.
In addition to this trimming there is
| youthful collar about three or four inches
| wide, terminating at the sides of the bodice
| fronts. This rounds over the shoulders and
| is made of the gown material with three
| bands of pique trimming, buttons and an
| embroidered scalloped edge. From where
| the collar is discontinued there are two mar
| row frills of white lace shirred on the sur
| plice part Of the bodice. The stock is made
| of tucks and lace with fold of black at
| the top and natty tie and bow of pique
| at the bottom.
While the sleeve proper ends at the elbow
| 1t is supplied with a dainty under part
| fashioned of bands of lace and tucking.
| Even this does not make the sleeve long,
| for 1t shows only little below the fiounce
| finishing the puff of meteore. The picture
| hat of white erin is trimmed with roses I'M
| derneath and with ribbon and the same
! flowers In a low arrangement on top
The introduction of lace dyed to match
| the shade of the linen is one of the summer
| sartorial fads copied from last season. This
! is the first time, however, that we have
| seen the idea carried out in tub fabrics
] One delightful cool green linen costume had
| the bodice made entirely of a spotted linen
| lace of exactly the same shade The lace
| formed the sleeves, too, and then from the
| belt a shaped piece of the linen was brought
| UP almost to the bust in the popular sus-
pender effect. while there were deep cuffs
| of linen with a band of lace at the wrist
| There was no trimming whatever on the
| short pleated skirt. Stitched straps of the
| material relieved the plainness around the
| hips and the bottom was hemmed and
| stitched TO match.
delft blue lace and linen morning gown
| made Smartly with blue lace bodice car
| ried out the surplce effect which Is so be-
| coming to slender figures. The chemisette
| In this case was blue. and the only yesttge
| of white seen in the narrow fril
| around the collar and cuffs
