neck and short sleeves finished with tiny
ruffles of fine batiste embroidery
A charming example of the princess
dress was constructed from radium silk
in two shades of grey in pin-stripes.
The dress was made over nine-gored
slip and the outer dress was made with
as many as fifteen cores which fitted
perfectly over the hips under a high
crushed gfrdle, while at the edge of the
skirt was a deep nuns fold. The neck
was slightly open to show a dainty front
of lace over which the bolero fronts,
tucked OH the shoulders, with curved
lower outline crossed in surplice style
with gold buttons for ornaments The
sleeves were in one large chiffon puff
finished with a narrow lace ruffle. Grey
elbow gloves, grey shoes, a grey hat
trimmed with pink roses and a parasol
carrying out the same color scheme COM
pleted the costume 49,, a..
But all the blouses are not of empire
style. and neither are all the dresses
modelled after the empire or princess
modes. For morning wear we have the
two piece suit and for those women, to
whom the style is particularly becoming,
it is best to adhere to that model. But
with these two-piece costumes we will
generally wear a belt that is inclined
to extreme depth, and give the short
wasted effect, necessary when wearing
the short jacket. for nothing looks so
badly as a bite of the blouse between the
belt and the jacket.
One charming design and one that
is generally becoming was developed
from white silk organdy TO be worn
over a pink slip. The straight front
lace yoke had a plastron extension
reaching to the lower edge. and the
| blouse portions are tucked or gathered
to the yoke. The tucks at each side OF
| the back closing extend to the waist
| line and a standing collar affords neck
completion or Dutch round neck may
! be used. The full length sleeves show
| tucks about the deep or shallow cuffs
as preferred. or the fullness may be
| disposed of in gathers, and sleeves in
shorter length could be finished in mar
| row bands A kid belt or one of the
material, or a crush girdle may be worn
with equal appropriateness.
AZ very attractive waist was shown
| in silk batiste, dotted net yoke out
lined with an all-over lace bertha of
which material were made the puffs
of the short puffed sleeves. A body
lining was used. The waist closed at
the back, and yoke in plain or seal
| loped outlined and a yoke tucker was
provided. The neck was high and COM
| pleted with standing collar Tucks
! were arranged to stimulate box-plait
at the center of the front, and at each
side of the front and back with narrow
tucks in groups between. .'.'. ~
/ For a smart walking custume grey
overchecked drap d. ste and oriental
banding was selected Like many OF
the designs for spring a skirt was made
with plaits in round length. The plaits
are deep enough to give pretty effect
4 as they spread in walking and the plait-
led cores alternate with the plain cores,
4 eight in all being used. The jacket is
I one of the new plated modes adecorat-
ed with oriental banding, the latter
outlined the jacket which opens over a
vest of white broadcloth, relieved by
delicate tracery of gold and silver
i braid. With this suit was worn wide
! shouldered shirt-waist OF cream ''llome-
| spun" silk, its tucks giving the effect o.
. duchess seams. The stitching termin
ates at yoke depth and the front open:
over a tab yoke of cream lace. Lace
Initaiile cuffs are added to the short
small glace gloves, which show below
the short elbow sleeves of the jacket
Grey rosettes completed a stylish cos.
