The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1908-04-03

There Is no doubt hat hats will be
much in evidence this spring, but the
exaggerated modes will not long be
tolerated. They are too trying. How
ever inappropriate q large hat may
be to the average short woman, its
becomingness to her face offsets its
defect. Conversely, however becoming
the small hat may be to the short
woman, it is most trying to h many
faces who need shadows to conceal
defects. Then, too, while a faultless
couture should appear beneath the
large hat, it is absolutely essential to
the least degree Of smartness with
the small hat. The only person who
can stand flying locks and rumpled
tresses is she with curly hair and the

The finest of linen lawns makes the
blouse, either hand-embroidered or
with hemstitched tucks decorating it,
while most of the center pleats show
little groups of pearl buttons.
The feature of the blouse sketched
in Jul large illustration is the form
of the braces and pointed cape falling
over the shoulders and arms, which
are fashioned in flet lace, hemmed
with a fold of satin which should
match the color Of the skirt with
which the blouse Ia to be worn. In
front the braces continue below the
waist, passing beneath the belt, and
finishing in mitred points; at the back
the cape finishes at the waist. OF
course, the braces could end at the
waist in front also, but the lines con.
tinued on to the skirt give greater
length to the figure, and are more be
coming than when the belt cuts the
two portions of the dress in half. The
underneath blouse. which is quite sep
arate from the cape and braces and
can be worn apart, Is of lace inser
lions and tucked net. Tiny rever o.
the lace and tucks are carried down
wards instead of horizontally. The
sleeves are formed of puffs on the
p arm to the elbow, and are tight
fitting from thence to the wrist, Tho
lace insertions alternating with the
bands of tucked net.
