The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-07-31

A material called wolfe chinchinette,
a crepe-lke weave of two colors. is
very fashionable. So is wolfe franchise
whicn is almost as thin as a muslin.
For the summer girl there is two
distinctly new types of bloases, the
lamnaock and piazza blouse = lie h are
made from some very sh ,ar material
VITA are very inexpensive and laun-
der well, while they look almost as
we'll as the more expensi'e materials
of finer but similar material.
For a really cool dress both in
weight and looks, there are some white
and lavender striped lawns and by
the way violet blouses are much liked
at the present writing. A shirt waist
suit in these cool colors trimmed
with panels of ValencienEes lace
bands would be a welcome addition to
any summer outfit
And it is said. if a tea.u ,onful #
turpentine is put into the first water,
that any violet colored goods is washed
in those disagreeable patches so try
ing to the owner of a pretty waist.
All varieties Of the jumper waist
are seen daily. The salient feature of
this well-liked mode should be the
exact harmony between the front and
back If there is a front panel to the
skirt panel effect is sought form the
back: and the back of the bodice is the
counterpart of the front bodice and
apart from the wearer, it is hard to
say which is back and which is front
Again the jumper suit depends upon
the guimpe for its dressy appearance
for as the yoke is low the collar and
front and back of the underblOuse or
guimpe are fully exposed to view. The
sleeves are beautifully trimmed AND
they are by no means the least import
ant part of the costume
There are many washable silks
shown this summer and many of the
new piazza waists are trimmed with
them in bands, pirings and folds. One
waist was developed from washable
net, having a yoke Of lace braid upon
which were applied bands Of silk. In
all cases these waists have under lin
ings Of this silk in self color or some
faint contrasting shade
One of the smart fads of the season
is the use of lace buttons The lace is
lined with color; and the buttons
underlaid with some tint to match the
gown, are used upon some Of the most
fashionable gowns of the season.
A very fire quality of serge, almost
chiffon weight. is much liked for
summer travelling dresses. and no col
or is more popular than a rather dark
shade of blue. A waistcoat of white
pOngee or one Of those fetching creto
tonnes vests will give the suit an anr
of smartness and distinction
POngees grow more beautiful and
never were they so rich in quality and
so exquisite in texture and color.
Many of the pongees are expensive as
satin and are to be found as soft as
henrietta
The long flowing veil is no longer
worn by smartly dressed women 1t
is now gathered loosely around the
face and hat and all ends fastened, so
there is no Tapping pieces to be play
things for every passing breeze.
Draped effects play an important
part in the fashions of the day and
they are particularly adapted to
voiies and similar fabrics.
Draperes must not interfere with
the smooth fit over the hips demanded
at present by fashions law
Sleeves retain the Japanese sug-
gestiOn of the past season.
While expensive in the beginning
the lace coat is not so in the end. Our
grandmothers wore their lace coats
many summers and those in authority
predict a long run for them, and like
a fur, a lace coat is not expected to be
changed every season to the EXTREMIST
pitch of fashion. It's elegance. its
worth, and it's beauty will always
it in fashion
| The lace considered most admirable
for coats is the Irish crochet lace
ard for hard wear there are varieties
of lace that look very like real Irish
crochet.
In Paris. cluny lace is much used and
the rage for dyed lace is still una
