The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1906-11-11
A Fetching Auto Cha
peau,

One of the prettfest pieces of head
wear for automobile use is this smart
tailored design from Phipps, a maker who
has introduced more bewitching special
ties for outdoor wear than almost any
other. a French felt of exceeding fine
ness and softness is used. it being one of
those affairs that may be crumpled up
and carried in the pocket without In the
least interfering with the smartness of
the shape or its appearance when it Is
pulled out and worn on the head. One
of the new turban shapes is presented,
this managed with point in front, and
the trimming arranged on the sides
that it points toward the back, an excel
lent device for auto wear, since It then
offers resistance whatsoever to the
wind while speeding, or even going at a
moderate pace Thick pleated rosettes of
double white chiffon are posed on either
side where the brim is caught up close to
the crown, white felt strap and round
mother of pearl buckle seeming to hold
those rosettes in place. The veil is attached
TO the hat back of those rosettes. and is
so draped that it covers the hair entirely
in the back. being brought around the
neck and tied in front in soft folds that
cannot fail to prove a becoming frame
for any style of face or features.
The Experienced Tourist Favors
Leather.
For the many uses of the road, for
fair weather and foul. the experienced
autoist has thoroughly proven that there
is nothing like leather after all. OF
course. in summer time it is wont to prove
a trifle too warm when one is the
ground; but the current of air created
welcome on even the warmest day. For
winter wear there is disposition TO
line the leather coat with some one or
another Of the less expensive furs. squir-
rel or muskrat. for example; and such
is the mode followed in the garment that
forms the subject of Illustration. The
coat is Of the semiftted variety. bach
and sides setting TO the figure with the
usual number of seams; while the double
breasted fronts are managed with sin
gle dart either side of the fastening.
Over the hips there is smart fitted
basquine, a stitched leather belt serving
TO hide the joining seam and add much
to the appearance of the garment as well.
The skirt is managed in two parts. the
upper fitted closely to the figure
and gored to shape: while the lower is
in the form of circular fiounce, applied
many rows of machine stitching adding
TO the trimming effect of this device.
Smart Surtout in Civet With Lynx
Collar and Cuff.
The extreme of voiuminousness which
marks the later mode is well expressed In
this very smart surtout-or allover wrap.
\ bias seam down the center back makes
for very pretty arrangement in the we'll
defined markings Of the fur. this providing
for the required fuiness and bringing the
fur markings on q straight line for the
fronts and sides.
The civet is one of those furs that are
so marked by nature to appear some
what conspicuous for dress purposes, IN
less toned down with the addition of
some other peIt or trimming device. Like
most other innovations of fashion. the
eye requires TO be trained TO IFS accept
