The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-12-05


has never yet become common, Is the
chestnut burr, slightly opened, to dis
close the shining brown nuts and lin
Ing. Among the fruit trimmings this
year grapes probably hold first place.
Embroidered vests and tucked
chemisette effects appear upon some
Of the new short matinees. The vests
leave the neck low, but the chemisette
style affords protection for the deli
cate throat.
The fashion Of elaborate evening
headdress allows for becoming ar
rangement for the woman who feels
that she looks better with q hat on:
for though she ia not permitted t.,
wear her hat on some occasions, the
headdress may be made just as effec-
tive.
When the school girl does not fancy
the fancy band that comes on the
round felt college" hat, she uu,.
gros grain ribbon in the two shades
she desires and ties them around the
crown, placing one above the other,
but making a single bow of the two
ribbons.
The graduated panel appearing at
the back of blouse and evening gowns
from shoulders to the foot of the train
indicates the Vatican style though
the gowns do not really follow that
mode. The panel is perhaps more be-
coming, since it follows the figure to
the waist line, at the same time Civ
ing the long sweeping lines OF the
Vatican designs.
Many rings Of heavy designs are b.
ing shown this year by the jewelers..
some so wide as to reach the first
knuckle, and those consisting Of sew
al large stones surrounded by small
er ones in intricate design being con-
sidered quite the very novel thing. A
new development of the old marquise
style is receiving more than bit Of
attention.
The variety of the mourning veil Is
80 wide that everybody who wears
one may be suited as to style and be-
comingness. English crepe and Grape
bordered net are generally used, as
are also silk veiis with plain and hem
stitched borders.
Simple net evening gowns are COM
pleted by wide lowered ribbons rum
ming over the shoulders and disap-
pearing beneath the deep girdle of
the same. A band of the ribbon round
the bottom of the full skirt weights
1t ever 80 slightly. according to the
approved fashion.
A simple design in soutache applied
to the velvet collar and cuffs of the
jacket is all the decoration necessary
on very natty little street suit. The
skirt is perfectly plain boxplaited
model.
The interlining Of sni6on Is coming
to be considered more in the light Of
necessity than heretofore, and un-
doubtedlyt the beauty Of lace gown
is greatly enhanced by the soft film
Of chiffon between the material and
the sliken lining.
The lace bodice strapped with bands
of the SKIRT fabric still holds Its un-
bounded popularity as an accompani-
ment to the princess skirt. This is
somewhat different in effect from the
suspender waist, and more dressy than
the latter style.
There are many gfrdles made of two
or more materials like a silk crushed
girdle with wide heading Of velvet, or
another evenly divided between flow
cred ribbon and cloth like the gown,
lace trimmed with satin or ribbon
bands, and many others. In fact, the
rtrdle often displays ruch Of tn. or
ig,nality Of the gown
Full wings of, lace caught on the
shoulders and very much elongated
at the back to hang In point sorne
distance below the elbow are very eff
fective upon stunning evening gown.
tIon the front of the arm they are
Snort elbow length.
Some Of the lovliest house gowns In
Empire sty,n Rave as May as six

Ills around tine bottom of tn, skirt.
There are fr::'ls on the sleeves. both
at elbow and shoulder, but the short
bodice is preferably finished quite
fiat, the ornamentation being in the
form of fiat insertion and applied en-
broideries.
The empire gown may have to its
credit the return to popularity of the
long train skirt. An empire dress
must be very long to be at all grace
full and one unusually long skirt in a
room will make all the shorter ones
look awkward. Trains, therefore. are
this year extremely long, no matter
what the style Of the dress or to Just
what period 1t may belong. The en-
pire has been brought down to fine
point this season, and so cleYerly is
the material of the dress and lining
managed that the material apparent
ly hangs quite loose and yet shows to
excellent advantage Ill the good lines
