The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-04-26

and plaitS are often trimming enough.
These suits are made up with long
half-fitting coats. or they can be made
with the small cape SO much liked and
which Is shown in so many STYLES.
Though called cape for. short, these
little wraps are more than that. They
are really bolero-jackets, being capes
only in effect. They are cape shaped
back and front, but have bell sleeves
fitted into the shoulder and little
close-fitting waistcoat underneath it
all.
A pretty spring costume had a skirt
OF gray aud blue plaid laid in double
box plaits. The gray silk waist was
concealed by one of these sack
boleros made of plain blue cloth
matching the skirt in shade and trim
med with collar and revers of blue
velvet. The hat was of rough gray
straw with gray silk scarf and a side
trimming of bunch of blue ostrich
tips springing from steel buckle. The
gloves worn with this charming gown
were of the favorite shade of pearl
gray. These gloves are of course long
wristed enough to meet the short ell
bow sleeves now so popular.
The long glove has brought out
new article of dress known as the
glove-garter. They are many and var
ious designs, though there are some
very simple ones made merely of silk
elastic fastened with little buckles and
have no other purpose in life than to
hold the long glove in place. Other
of these garters are elaborate in the
extreme. Some are made of MORE rib
bon aad have buckles of gold set with
jewels. Of course these glove-brace-
lets. as some call them, can be made
as costly as fancy pleases, and per-
haps rival the automobile suits for
cost.
These auto suits are now an indis-
pensable part of the summer outfit.
They are of necessity very costly, for
materials must be rain proof, dust
proof and warm in texture Five hun
dred dollars is the sum paid out by
an auto enthusiast to get herself into
the trim she needed. This of course
included the winter clothes, the furs,
the fur gauntlets, the fur hat, the fur
boots, and the fur waist. The summer
things were of lighter weight, but even
so leather jacket is great desidera-
tum, pongee coat and hood and an
auto veil as we'll as the suede waist
coat. If one adds to this list the new
to be met only by those who "have
money to burn"
However. the style In evening shoes
would of course not touch the auto
traveller as 1t Is an extreme suitable
only for the costume ball or some
function planned to exceed all that has
gone before. The dainty bell is put
ting rosebuds on her dancing slippers
fashioned of chiffon and silk and rival
ing nature in color and shape. Others
are putting all their efforts into their
heels. which being of gilt or silver will
truly twinkle in the dance" These
heels. of course, are not of solid metal
but of filagree and as they are made
to slip over the leather heel they are
known as "overheels."
There is. however, something in
heels much to be preferred to the sill
yer and gold filagree, as these are
liable to catch in the flimsy UNDER
skirts with disastrous results. The
just as pretty and mush safer fancy
dance shoe is of hand-painted velvet
with heels of satin and with wreaths
and roses also painted to match.
For summer wear there are shoes
in white corduroy to be worn with
white linen and serge gowns and these
are really very chic and appropriate.
White linen gowns this season are
being heavily worked with all-over
and padded designs. Where there was
last year a bud there Is this year
bush. and the delicate spray of year
ago has grown to need trellis OF
the simpler patterns the daisy leads In
favor. There is the English daisy,
prim little flower, and the French
daisy, perched with coquettish air at
the top of a little stem, with two saucy
leaves. The French also are fond Of
the double daisy, using it in graceful
festoons and wreaths. The Japanese
daisy initiates the crysanthemum in
size, and the petals have ragged eff
feet and certain whirl very attrac-
tive and unique when completed.
Here is useful hint as to how to
put ruffles on skirt and if followed
will make the usually dreaded task as
easy as sewing plain seam. Let the
skirt fall on the floor and draw the
hem across the lapboard. Spread the
ruffle evenly on the gather thread for
an equal length and lay the lower edge
even with the edge of the skirt Stock
two or three pins in the gathers to
hold them temporarily, then begin at
the lower edge and pin to the edge of
the skirt. Pin every two inches for
the length of the lapboard The gather
thread is then drawn taut and few
more pins put in the gathers. after
which the basting is mere play. Use
plenty of pins and you will wonder
that you ever tried to put on ruffles
