Empire styles will dominate every
thing in the world of fashion this
Spring. There has been a determined
stand made against this innovation be-
cause it involves revolution in all the
parts of a woman's wardrobe and be-
comes a burden of expense i'm most
cases. Compromises have been effected
in the Empire modes, but the season
of 1906 is almost comically reproduced
in that of 19O6-just a hundred years
later.
Certain gowns show the same lines
The fitted yoke with it's pointed effect
in the black and front; the little bolero
jacket-either all around or only in
front; the long, clinging Empire gown
falling below the short-waisted upper
portion just described. and the sleeve
small and puffed at the top and with
a fitted portion at the bottom, of an
absence of sleeve below the middle
arm The woman of 1906 might step
into a Paris, London or New York
drawing room and be entirely in the
fashion, from the poke bonnet or comi-
cal little Empire hat on her head. the
scarf about her shoulders and little bo-
lero jacket, to the beaded or embrOid-
cred slippers peeping beneath the flow
ing lines of her gown.
The high corseIet skirt, in Empire or
princess cut, will be worn with a dain-
ty blouse whose long lace or embroid-
cry cuffs will show below the short
sleeves of the jacket AS many waists
are worn with short sleeves as with
cuffs, and numbers of them are sup
piled with several detachable sleeve
lets of lace or lingerie which can be
removed every day and replaced with
fresh ones.
No amount of Empire gowns or prin-
cess gowns, either will rob us of the
lovely separate waists and blouses
which Paris is introducing for the
Spring. In This respect Paris has CO.
pied New York. where the smartest
separate waists i'm the world are pro-
duced-ard Paris admits this. We will
wear these b.ouses with our corselet
skirts of nos quite so high build as
they appear here; and with our ordn-
airy skirts, watch will not go out of
style this year so far as beginning at
the waist line goes. We will, however,
generally wear a belt that will give a
short-waisted appearance to those
gowns worn with a short jacket, and
most of our dresses will do this.
A perfect craze exists for little bo-
lero jackets of lace Irish lace being the
fovorite, and nearly all of them COM
bine at least two kinds of lace. Some
times small pieces of embroidered lin
en- are inserted in the lace design.
Both wide and narrow scarfs of lace
are worn around the neck and much
larger scarfs of like make are used to
throw about the shoulders, over the
head ana az shawls.
great deal of trimming at the
back is observable in most of the
Spring hats for the reason that all
have more or less Of a tilt over the face
and have a high bandeau at the back
covered with what is commonly known
as cascade" trimming.
Jewelry is being worn more than for
merly with street and house costumes.
Jewelled combs for the hair are just
as popular now as they have been
during the Winter, and an increase Of
combs with gold enameled tops and
jewelled tops is to be seen.
The trend of all new fabrics for
Spring is to produce soft, clinging
folds, and some of the old-time mate
rials woven in the new style would not
be able to recognize themselves in the
fashionable droop of 1906
