OSFe$6 SHIT WAISTS OF dfnlty q
linen FOG tennis, golf or any kind of
outdoor tport are attractive from the
nenes d% the quality of the material
used in their construction as well as
from their good cut and fit.
There is A new rule that is coming
in force among the well dressed wo-
me1 in tae matter OF wearing the sep
arate waist aid that is that they are
to be worn with only the most practi-
cal of coat and skirt costumes. 1t is
commended, and with reason, that the
skirt of one cobr and the waist of an
other is az a rNle u~nbecoming aid es-
pecially to thet woman who is stout.
and this is tribe of the black skirt
and white waist more than of any 9th
er combinations
The fashion 1haugurated last spring
for the separate waist of bands or
b~reteIles made of skirt material, was
first seea with what was known as
the corslet Or suspender skirt, made
to look like al princess gown when
worn with a short jacket. At first
the fad did not meet with much favor
1t was thought too youthful, suitable
only for youna girls, but there was so
much that was practical about it that
it found MANI followers, and now a
sort of modification of the original
idea has beef arrived at between the
original suSpender waist and that
with a deep yoke or guimpe with the
sleeves to match, n n problem is
solved OF Vow to wear a skirt with a
shirt waist and yet look as if wearing
a complete outfit.
SleeveS are made longer han they
were last eason although really long
sleeves are not yet fashionable, and in
some eases the shortest n smallest
of STILES are to be noted. AS a rule,
sleeves now come well below the
elbow AID are finished with a fiat
L@and. Above the elbow they are fiji
ished with a medium puff, while there
are of this general style many varie-
ties. While the long shoulders seam
is fashionable it is to be noted that a
majority of stylish women look best
with the sleeves standing out a little
from the shoulder, so featherbones or
wire are used to secure the desired
effect. In fact the sleeves are taking
up a great deal of attention as to cut
finish and becomingness. The loose,
wide sleeves that are a feature of the
fashions this year seem to be p~articu-
Iarly well adapted to the style that
looks like a sleeveless coat worn ov
er a separate blouse. The armhole is
abnormally large on the kimolo order

ed part of the waist of heavy lace,
the part that goes ove the shoulder
and forms the sleeves. This fin
ished by a fiat band of velvet, is most
charming especially wnen worn Owe
white. An exception to this is in the
case of yellow-sulphur yellow wolfe
made up with cream lace. In this in

There is a great cal of fine lace to
be noticed or these fine waists. Not
only braiding n embroidery, but mar
row bands of silk, fancy buttons and
a myraid of dainty touches that can
be given only by the most careful
hand work. There is an immense
amount Of hand work on W. the sim
pleSt of these waists, while OF the
more elaborate ones the work is mar
~velously fine n intricate, and hand
work is necessary OIL everything at all
smart.
Corsets, Innings and draperies al
tend to give the slope, without which
curves under the arms the "aist s
quite passe. Those who are too zen
e~rously proportional ~cleverly draw al
the superfluous flesh toward the front
But in spite of the fact that great
time thought are given to the
moulding of the form, ladies do not
go out of the house lin their figures
as the French put it: hat is, without
a slight yelling of the outlines, there
fore the immense popularity of the
tiny little wraps and coats that are
never intended for warmth. but fol
dress purposes only. One of these is

cloth or linen would be just as effec
tive. The lace forms the main par
of the garment, with bands of sill
edged with the braid.
Eliot Irish crochet, Valeacionnes
and Cluny laces are leaders of theil
kind again and the long used eyelet
~embroidedy has suffered no setbacB
by the change of seasons The mar
row insertions and finishing edges
have been selling in quantities ever
since the summer arrived in earnest
The handsomest Lingerie blouses and
gowns are trimmed lavishly with flet
but limitations of this old lace are not
very desirable, and the rea article is
very expensive. OF Irish lace there
are excellent limitations and everyone
knows the fidelity with which the
manufacturers copy choice Valencien'
mes patterns.
A goOdly number of lingerie gowns
are made in the princess stlye, out as
the season wakes and new styles come
into other patterns are coming
out. The fchu drapery of bodices is
having a strong influence On summer
gowns and a host of new variations
are being played on this old pattern.
The little bolero, which played 80 i'm
portant a part in the lingerie gowns
of last year, is seen again but in a
changed guise from that of a twelve
month ago. In almost every case it
is either a Japanese or cape sleeve.
1t is hard to tell which is the more
popular. The latter, perhaps, because
of its easier arrangement n conse-
q~uently more frequent Use is in dan
ger OF early extinction. The kimono
sleeve is generally becoming. but it
needs careful handling aid it does not
lend itself to made overs. because
being cut in n with the bodice con-
siderable material is needed for it.
