NEW YORK FASHIONS

me the other day in the elbow length; !;
the glove was in two parts and at
tached by tiny fasteners at the wrist,
which allowed the hand portion to be
removed while that which covered the
arm remained in place.
An odd and pretty sleeve was noted
the other day, which would be thank
fully received by the stout woman too
heshy to- bear much fuffiness near her
waist line. lit was part of a dark
blue costume trimmed in narrow black
soutache and crochet buttons. The
sleeves were a large puff to the depth
of four inches on the top and below
this and covering the whole Of the tlrl-
der sleeve portion was al close fitting
straight gauntlet sleeve ending at the
elbow in narrow braid band. The
waist has straight plastron front
bordering on each side with braid and
buttons, the closing being made on the
left side. The neck is round with a
shallow turned over collar bordered
with the braid above which was lace
chefmisette and standing collar. The
skirt was an extremely plain circular
mode having an inverted plat back
and front and the front is outlined
with bands of braid, and buttons out
side OF that The dress made of
cheviot, linen or mohair is especially
suited for the Office.
The separate waist is again to be
worn; and the shops are showing num-
bers of beautiful ones for all sorts Of
wear: hand embroidered linens, lace in
sertions, and ribbons, Victoria lawns,
India Linens, Persian lawns, batiste
and organdies, which all may be made
very plain or elaborate by the
lack or addition Of trimming. In
laundering these waists, do not put
them through heavy starch which
will give them a laundered unnatural
look at once, but put them through a
thin starch water, LET them thorough
ly dampen; first iron on the wrong side
and then on the right; and the China
waists should be ironei Immediately
after putting through the starch water
as it gives them look of continued
newness.
The newest skirt is of the circular
FIVE gored variety. 1t is lacking in any
fullness around the hips as the full
ness begins only little way above
the knees and is thus a boon to the
|full-hipped woman, and by the way the
marrow width cloth is the better ma
terial to seek as it cuts to better adj
vantage. 1t has a seam at the cen
tire front which is concealed under
plaits and is closed at the back gore
under an applied boxsplait.
The new College Blouse will be
liked for warm days. 1t is made with
two tuckss.on each side Of the front,
stitched to the bust, Under the second
of which there are darts which take up
the unnecessary flllness. The sleeves
are OF three-quarter length having
pointed or rounded cuffs and low
turned-over collar with rounded or
pointed fronts to match the cuffs. The
waist is closed at the front with but
ton holes and pearl buttons. A fancy
Windsor tie completes the waist. Il
saw a number OF these waists made up,
OF different colored linens stitched in
contrasting color or white.
But / must tell you about some Of
the gowns worn at the wedding OF
Miss Ruth Bacon last week. The
bride wore soft clinging robe of
liberty satin founced with filiny lace
The bodice had a round yoke and UNI
lined stock Of the lace and the sleeves
were full lace hounces over puffs.
With this was worn draped veil
caught with real orange blossoms, and
a new idea was the carrying Of a sim
gle white tulip blossom slipped between
| the pages of her prayer book. The
gown of the inatron of honor was
Constructed OF dull soft shade Of blue
cloth decorated with white lace. The
skirt trailed slightly and had three lace
founces laid on fiat The bodice was
made with coat effect the skirts Of
which were about eighteen inches deep
and Of the same length all around. The
