One of the Color Notes

Canary yellow is quite the newest
color note in tbs GUNNER fashions. It
is doubtful, however, whether it will
become anything more than a passing
novelty, to be adapted by those who
try out every new thing which makes
its appearance whether or not it has
any real style value. Neck boas in
this color are seen at the theater and
restaurants worn with dainty lingerie
trocks and beplumed chapeaux The
tailor-made girl uses it with more dis
erection, and withal very becomingly
in the time of bows which finish the
front OF her high, stif1y starched linen
collar.
Dyed buttons, pearl buttons, are q
recent nuance. Perhaps the prettiest
OF these arein the popular golden brown
shades which adorn women's tailored
suits of this brown tone and mems
waistcoats. Still another golden
brown novelty is the ooze calf tie
men are wearing, and which the
smart New York girl has taken to her
heart and accompanies with q crush
belt of the same.
A fine lingerie frock shown in a
Fifth avenue specially shop has a
clever little continuance for retaining
Well-fitting lines that the home Dress
maker may we'll copy. This frock
marks the new vogue of simplicity in
lingerie effect. It is of fine, soft
lawn, the straight skirt laid in inch
pla1ts into the belt and finished at the
bottom with a six-inch hem and a
cluster of six one-inch hand-run tucks.
The waist portion is draped on the
Japanese order, bordered with fine
embroidery, and adjusted over a full
lace yoke and undersleeves. But the
feature that makes the gown famous.
because it aids in its perfect shaping.
is a lining girdle of lawn like the
dress completely boned with feather
bone. The girdle is about six inches
deep, and is finished with a lace
beading run with baby ribbon at the
top and tied in the back when the
dress is adjusted so that it is held Sc
curely in place.
A pretty way of finishing the waist
and skirt joining of those dainty little
summer frocks of silk, lansdowne. or
crepe de chine is to catstitch over the
waist seam with silk the same color
as the material. In frocks of cotton
and other wash fabrics the Joining
may be very nicely accomplished with
narrow bias belt of the material or
a band of embroidery. The wide belt
lin these baby princess dresses. as
they are called, is rarely seen, and
only when the dress is much inset
with fine lace and lace insertions from
the belt. @$ - -
