blue Ottodam princesse bordered
with blue embroidery, which has its
split left side caught together at IN
tervals, but then it is worn over an
entire underdress of satin yelled with
silver pailletted blue gauze.
PLAIN AND BROCADED EFFECTS.
In lieu of the border materials
which enjoyed such a vogue a year
ago, many of the leading dressmakers
are using plain silk ana brocades to-
gether. Here again the almost uni
versal scarf idea is brought into use.
but rather differently and happily the
combination offers suggestions toward
the furnishing of the dinner costumes
made last winter. The gowns most
adaptable to such touching up are
those of lace or chiffon made in two
pieces, as such transparencies rarely
carry heavy trimmings or any thaN
may not be removed without leaving
obvious traces of their absence. The
waist of white chiffon gown, for in
stance, may be draped after the Greek
manner with rose figured white bro
cade, the sleeves made tight-fitting and
cut off above the elbow, and about the
hips may be draped a brocade tunic
which, extending almost to the knees
| IN 'front.' is slightly caught up at the
back into box pleats and then allowed
to fall over the train of the skirt in
two ends.
PAINTED CHIFFON SCARFS.
Much the same treatment NAV be
carried out with the aid of the painted
chiffon scarfs, of which it would be
difficult to conceive anything more ex-
quisitely dainty. Two of these will be
quite sufficient to utterly change the
effect on an all but passe evening
gown, provided that there be an alb
sence of elaborate trimmings, as one
may be used for the bodice and sleeves
and another for the skirt draping. Not
all the gauze scarfs are florally en-
broidered. Some of them have gold
and silver butterflies scattered over
the weave and others show small sec
tions of peacock feathers.
COATED TEA GOWNS.
Tea gowns which are also worn in
formally for dinner gowns, just as
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-09-30

tuXedos are worn by men when the
claw-hammer coat can possibly be dis
pensed with, are among the fascinat-
ing creations which Paris is exhibit
ing for the temptation OF American
pocketbooks. A large number of these
garments are of crepe de chine, many
are OF lace bordered chiffon, and the
daintiest of them developed in SILK
mousseline. The simplicity of their
design is one Of their chief charms,
for usually they consist merely of an
Empire robe with a tucker neck, short
sleeves and satin sash over which
is worn a sleeveless long, loose ana
very scant coat of Valenciennes, Cluny
or embroidered filet lace.

back. But their bodices, which are
formed of satin bands, are worn over
guimpes of gold or silver cloth, so that
the portion of the costume that is
most prominently in evidence at the
card table is peculiarly effective.
STRIPED SILKS AND LACE.
The use of striped silks under trans
parent fabrics is not novelty, but
Partisan dressmakers have thought out
new manner Of combining the two
materials. They are employed togeth-
err chiefly in the darker shades, the
costumes being intended for semicere-
monious occasions, such as luncheon
and informal days at home, for while
women are popularity supposed to dress
| for the benefit of men, they realize
perfectly that their keenest critics are
other women. AS at present used, the
silks that are of black, SIT ped with
blue, rose, green or white, form the
principal portion of the afternoon cos
tune, which is invariably in one
piece, although not necessarily short

necked, elbow-sleeved bodice of black
chiffon or silk lace, which is caught
into the waist with an ornament cir

the knees. There is a net guimpe
which matches the color of the silR
stripe and emphasizes the shade seer

For years past broadcloths and kim
dred smoothly finished fabrics have
been principally employed in the de-
velopment of the cold weather street
costumes designed by the leading
French modistes, and as the present
trend of fashion is so strongly toward
cIinging effects, such materials are
certain to be more than ever popular.
In the two and three-piece cloth cos
tunes of the elaborate type, such as
are used in America for the most cere-
monious of afternoon occasions, as
we'll as for morning concerts and the
like, are seen all of the delicate shades
of blue, the entire gamut Of pale
browns, an infinite variety of rose and
crushed berry tints, in addition to
greens and grays of many shades and
the omnipresent black. Dark grays,
greens and browns are to be seen prin-
cipally in the exceedingly plain, but
none the less smart, rough cheviots
and serges, which are made up solely
for morning and hard usage.
SATIN THE FABRIC OF THE MO-
MENT.
Because of it's clinging qualities, sa-
tin is now the most important fabric
of the moment, and so long as the
directoire style remains in vogue, SO
long will the soft, supple silken ma
terial continue its supreme reign. 1t

IMPORTANCE OF BRIDGE FROCKS
So strong hold has bridge taken
upon the set of women who go in fol
artistic dressing that the bridge gown
has become of quite as much import
ance in the estimation of woman
of leisure as any that are to be worn
within the range of masculine eyes
AS this costume is to be used chiefly
in the afternoon, but in an artificial
