Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-11-23

the dolman-shaped sleeves and skirts
of a white b~roadcloth evening coat.
This is one of the new ideas which
will make its debut at the horse show
and a very effective detail 1t is. Long
black velvet streamers edged with
sealskin are used as n would use
cord and tassel, and hang nretti'v
from the V-shaped neck of the coat.
The lining of this coat is an especir,is
good feature, for black and white
Pekin striped silk is used, making the
entire coat a delightfully."- harmonious
design.
One of the smartest evening coats
seen upon this side is in reserve for a
horse show appearance. 1t is made
of champagne-colored velvet, cut
along directoire lines and with a per-
! ceptible shaped and fitted yoke. The
lining is of yellow and white striped
silk, and the p~rettily turned revers
facing the opening are faced with
cluny lace laid over shrimp pink vel
vet, the corded edges outlined with
strips of sable fur. The shot sleeves
puffed to the elbow are corded with
sable strips also, and further embel-
lished by handsome tassels OF gold
colored chenille. These tassels also
tip the ends of the revers, which are
interlined with thin haircloth to pre-
vent rolling. Much haircloth is used
this fall where fur enters into the
lining of bands. Its presence cannot
be dispensed with, owing TO the roll
ing tendencies of urs, which the hair
cloth facing seems to obviate most
successfully.
Haircloth enters into gown con-
struction as well, but not for the
same reason as when used for coat
building. The tendency of the later
skirt models to flare considerably
brings more material into their con-
struction, and so a haircloth facing
just the width of the hens or facings
used helps to keep these multiple
folds from tangling about ones heels.
Apropos of these fulled skirts, 1t
may be stated that the fullness rad
iates from below the knees, the skirt
tops showing snugly fitted yokes ana
plaits, with less of the shirred effects
noted than in the spring styles. n
tendency toward snug-ftted skirts
will please the tall, willowy hgures,
and the lady of great ayoirdupois
will, as usual, be among the hrst 10
adopt these snug skirts, and thus
bring to view contours and lines
which were better concealed than re-
vealed. There is hope, however, In
the reflection that good dressmakers
value their regulations too highly 10
permit a customer becoming a carl
cature, and many a profession-loying
dressmaker refuses positively TO make
a gown for a woman who does not
bow to her professional knowledge.
The very slender waist line, nigh
bust and long flowing skirt style fea-
lures are beautiful when properly
presented. Light-weighted materials
used to produce these results are the
favorites this fall, and are represent
ed by the heavier CT fon cloths, crepe
de chimes and silk colleen poplins.
This last material is a beautiful
sheened fabric, resembling that avor-
lite of last fall, eolienne, but OF inner
weave Nothing is prettier thar this
stuff for the handsome seml-dressy
afternoon frocks, while the chlffon
cloths and crepe de chine line up as
leaders in the evening clothes class.
Crepe de chine is of the smartest
materials seen this year for evening
wear, but care must be taken that 1t
is employed in a coMbination of lace
