Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-03-19

~ AINTY lingerie hlouses made with
profuson of lace ruffles will be
as popular during the spring as
they have been All winter,
The new models differ from the ones
that have been in favor in that touches
Of color are considered necessary.
These distinctive notes of brightness
are placed on the arms. at the waist line
or around the neck. and. as they are used
in constructing the blouses, they lack
the appearance of mere decoration that
many carefully dressed women object to.
Color trimming may he any shade that
is becoming. and can be fashioned either
from silk, velvet or satin ribbon But
whatever material is used should be in
harmony with either the waist goods or
the fabric in the skirt.
AS to the scarf for evening wear. it is
made of hand-panted silk or cut velvet,
ornamented on the edges with a soft
white or gray fur-any skin that is be-
coming.
Studs Match Waists.
A novelty that is favorite just now is
set consisting of scarfpin and sleeve
links for wear with shirt waists
The mounting is French gilt and one
can choose from coral. lapis luzuli moon
stone. jade or amethyst.
The price is only 81 the set. and now
that colored shirt waists are considered
smart for morning wear it is fad of
the moment to choose the stones TO
match the prevailing color in the waist.
Studs adjoining the front of such shirt
waists are not in good taste. Pearl but
tons are much smarter.
Grecian Style in Paris.
The Grecian influence in fashions of the
day asserts itself most charmingly in the
new imported costume of chiffon satin in
the novelty shade-emerald green-over
which Paris is making such furore this
spring.
The Japanese sleeves draping over the
simple gumpe sleeve of shirred white net.
the decolletage and cincture are embel-
lisEed with silver and pearl embroideries.
The long ciinging skirt. exquisitely
graceful in its lines. is cut with a tunic
the folds of which are weighted at the
left knee with a handsome silver and
pearl ornament and huge tassel.
New Dotted Wells.
To be quite up-to-the minutes in small
matters of dress means that the new
spring chapeau must be set off by
one of the modish chenille dotted wells in
black. OF course other colors may with
sartorial correctness match the hat or the
shade of the suit.
The chenille dots of medium size are
spaced moderately far apart. and the Dor
der may be a collection of dots in van
dyke points, Greek key or a serpentine
design.
For the School Girl.
A new design in sailor suits for high
school girls wear is the blouse slipping
over the head. The skirt is side pleated
all around from a wide box pleat down
the front. the skirt closing under this on
the left side.
The new feature on the blouse is the
long shoulder effect. When the yoke is
cut an extension is made that will cover
the sleeve at the top. giving the effect Or
the yoke going over the arms.
The neck is finished in the conventional
way. with sailor collar. and the sleeves
are tucked at the wrists to form cuffs.
Seven yards of thirty-six inch material
will make this suit.

terials for summer frocks. These newest

contrasting with the body Of the goods a
beautiful floral design wandering over the
connection.
