Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1908-04-16

embroidered collars, Is the most pop
ular style for women of good taste.
For fine wear waists of pongee, shan
tung or any of the rough silks make
excellent waists for the tailored suits.
When a little more dressy appearance
is wished for the soft lace jabot is
used as dainty accessory.
Coats are shortening in length as
the weather grows warmer. "a or 80
inches being the most used. The
seml-fitted coat that comes just to
the hips. or little below. is still
much liked. A cutaway coat that
combines the features of the severely
tailored and the dressy coat is made
with a pique waistcoat or vestee
and buttons on the breast with but
one button and then slopes graceful
~ away from the front, showing the
vest beneath. These vests are some
times elaborate affairs of brocade or
OF cretonne embroidered. When the
suit Is made with embroidered goods
the bordering is used as a vest band
just inside the opening and often
gives the necessary bit of color need
ed to an otherwise sombre suit,
One might suppose that the Etons
after their long popularity would be
rather passe, but nothing is more
liked by some women and many of
the new models are shown with the
cutaway effect while few have long
tails In the old swallow-tail effect.
Many OF the new silks are made up in
this style. The lingerie waist is most
appropriate to wear with these waist
coats which may have more or less
trimming of lace or braid or embroi-
derry.
Although the adviees from abroad
say the jumper dresses are out of
style. there Is no dress so popular on
this side of the water, Having over
come its crudities Of the past and its
beginning years, 1t has become
thing of beauty and no material is too
beautiful or too plain to be used in
its construction. II is the compro-
mise between the shirtwaist suit and
the full costume, and is far more
dressy than the single skirt and shirt
waist of contrasting material and
color. The Japanese armholes will
be worn through the summer; their
only fault was their unhandiness und-
er a coat, but in summer they are
neat and practical.
The semi-princess dress, which is
only skirt and waist Joined together
Is going to be a fayorite mode for the
coming season. II is easy to take a
separate jumper waist and combine
1t with a plated skirt, join the two
and have a semi-prineess dress. A
new feature Of the jumper waist is
the Introduction of the ladder sleeN.
which is composed of tucks when vA-
tend from the shoulder to the elbow
or little above. For the street the
jumper dress Is made of wolfe or chif-
ton panama or taifeta. For the house
biste, yelling pongee and other silks
they are seen In light colors in ba-
over lingerie waists or guimpes.
In colors for the tailored suit. 1t is
probable that all the peculiar shades

modes and biscuit shades. the last OF
these in many variations is to be
seen In shadow stripes, checks and
