Odd Effects in Dress.


We mix so many colors and so many
styles and periods in our clothes that it
Is no wonder we excite ridicuie; but then
the critics and the oniookers have al
ways been hard on women and their
garments. and yet they always have
had a weak place in the hearts for the
sex We are wearing skirts which APP
pertain to the early Victorian days with
the coats OF the Louis XIV. period, and
l. you look down on an assembly of
fashionable women in the park or on
race course the colors they wear are
not more varied than those you find in
the garden on hot July day, says the
Queen. But a few broad rules they all
observe. Skirts must be full, and to be
successful a certain audacity in dress
must be apparent; the waist must be
small, and feet. too. Coats for morning
wear and country are loose both as to-
fit and sleeve, and we haze come for
evening to the three-quaTter length loose
circular coat, with enormous sleeves.
Pavement gray is one of the newest
shades for cloth gowns.

LINGERIE SHIRTS

blouses, very simply made 50 that the
embellishments that is given them is not
overshadowed at ali by the extrava-
gance OF the manner in which they are
constructed. Shirts one mass of brod-
erie Anglaise are modish, and shirts
covered with medalIions of raised en-
hroidery with eyelet holes here and
there are equally fashionable. They look
delightful with q taiIormade coat and
skirt costume, and as they wash like a
rag they are not really extravagantly
costly purchases. Many of these lovely
shirts are made in Ireland, where so
much white wear is embroidered

TIE PRINCESS GOWN
The World of Fashion Is Reviving
That Old Favorite.

In the world Of fashion two mqAes are
more talked about than the rest-name-
", the princess gown and the redingote.
The princess is a later arrival than the
redingote. and very probably was sug-
gested by it. for when the nlodistes and
tailcrs perceived that their fair custo-
mers We're amenab1e to the suggestion
that the neglected waist line should be
more carefully treated, stays were or
dereG that reduced it's measurement
considerably. and it became worth the
trouble of the cleverest cutters and fit
tiers to produce habiiiments that accen-
tuated it's slender proportion to the ut
most.
How MANY years is it since the prIn-
cess gown was worn by every woman
with preteHsions to elegance? It must
be nearly thirty. The fashion plates of
the 10 g of last century show the predi
lection then evinced by graceful feni-
nnity for all corsages that closely
nodded thS figure, and III particular for
this princess robe, which was then fas-
tened in one long, stiff line from the
throat to the hem OF the dress. and at
the back was as severely simple. ending
IN an enormously long and wisp-like
train-the despair of men, but the de-
noht of the opposite sex.

THE LITTLE OIRLSOF EIGHT NOW

Children of Fashion Openly Consulted iii Selecting
Materials and Modes for Their Dresses

It may seem strange to many that lit
tie girls of eight and ten years have
: much 20 say in the choosing and
selecting OF their tiny garments as
have their debutante sisters, and yet to-
day this is certainly the case. Not only
may these little tots decide just what
co1ors they are TO wear, but in many
cases the small girls are openly con-
suited as to just what style of gown
they shall follow. and frequently the
little maids are sent out, escorted by
an adoring but respectful governess, and
at some fashionable modiste's are Civ
en- carte blanche for anything they may
happen to desire at the moment. For
tunately the child OF today, even when
acting entirely upon her own little re-
sponsibility. cannot go very far wrong.
for at present the fashions in child
ren's clothes are particularly charming.
