Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-08-30

Organdie and chiffon, marquisete. null, batiste and Swiss for young girls, make ideal dinner gowns and frocks for warm weather wear. In these days. of course, chiffons and equally thin materials are worn in winter for the evening gowns, but batiste and Swiss and the other cot ton and linen fabrics are purely sum- mer materials, and should be made the most of during the heated term.
 All of these purely warm weather frocks are prettiest and in the best taste when simply made and trimmed with lace and tucks, or a little trimmed embroidery. For young girls. including those recently out, the slightly decollete neck and elbow sleeves with round length skirts are the most appropriate. and also the most becoming not only because of their youth, but also because youth is prone to angles, and angles and hol- lows should not be imposed on an in offensive public save when absolutely necessary. A pretty arm is an excep- ton. Arms should be white. tapering | from shoulders to wrists, and should be we'll covered with flesh if not plump. The wrists and hands should be delicate and small in comparison with the arms. The neck should be round and no hollows or bones should show at it's base, and at the same time 1 it should not be SO plump that the modelling is lost in flesh.
 The exhibition of scrawny arms. bony wrists terminating in hands dis proportionately large, and of big, fat red arms almost as large below the el- bows as above, and both with ugly elbows, since the advent of the elbow sleeves, have been revelation and a most unpleasant one. Comfortable as the elbow sleeve is, the possessors of ugly arms should have too much self respect to expose them to the scornful gaze of the public. Long sleeves with transparent lace cuffs from the elbows down or finely tucked bands with in. sertions are cool and fashionable, and work wonders in the way of disgusting the deficiencies of homely arms
 When 1t comes to the evening dress. however, ones arms are of necessity exposed. but they may be draped as much as possible with floating drap- cries. and even yelled half way to the wrists with gauge or tulle. In any event, the arms may be treated with bleaches, creams and liquid powders until the skin presents an attractive appearance.
 It is the duty of all women to care fully study their personal appearance and to take careful note of the com ments of their enemies rather than their friends in ascertaining their weak points, and to improve or to dis guise them as much as possible. Many a woman with a handsome face thinks that it Is all that is necessary, when. after all, 1t is only one asset and a negligible one at that, if vom- an has a passable figure with fine neck. arms and hands, and is. above all else. agreeable, intelligent and tastefully gowned.
 The dresses shown in our large H. lustration are exquisite creations, sim pie, yet elegant The one on the right is fashioned of buttercup yellow nous seline de soie. made in modified Elm pire style. and arranged in an entirely new way with broad siIken braids in the same lovely shade. tassels to match being also introduced into their design The ehemisette and under sleeves are of white chiffon and cluny lace. and the erovning hat is a pic turesque eloche shaped model in but tercup Leghorn where some clever hand has dropped a carelessly grouped cluster of softly shaded pink roses and their fresh green foliage.
 The other lovely gown Is of white chiffon with it's novel and very e1ec- tive arrangement of CIuny lace inser- ton and bands of narrow white satin s-
