asset in the feminine wardrobe-may be
worn white lace or net or silk blouses,
and even If the coat of such suit be
quite impossible for street use 1t may be
transformed into a modish house jacket
by removing the lining, betting 1t at the
back and sides, shaping the buttonhoied
fronts to reveal fancy silk waistcoat
and shortening and slashing the sleeves
to display net undersleeves. Any of the
light colored pongee silk suits so fire.
quently seen on the streets last autumn
may be similarly treated with satisfac-
tory results.
In considering the possibilities OF re-
modelling the wardrobe one should never
lose sight OF the usefulness of ribbon
and bias bands as trimmings II a short
skirt is to be pieced into a demi-trained
one ribbon or silk bands may be placed
about the heightened hem and over the
joining Of the train seams, and II the
skirt be too narrow panels of dyed lace
or fancy ribbon may be inserted at front,
sides and back.
That plain and fancy silks may be
artistically blended was demonstrated by
clever woman, who evolved a smart
looking costume from a decidedly passe
black voile, with a quantity Of broad
black-and-white striped ribbon purchased
at bargain sale and put aside for the
day of need. The ribbon stripes were
used horizontally to border the skirt and
tunic drapery, and perpendlcularly to
form the bolero and haif-Japanese sleeve,
which concealed the signs OF wear on the
bodice. The same idea might be carried
out with n pale blue, pink or mauve gown.
Lingerie materials are the standby OF
many gir'5 and young matrons who can.
not afford variety of fresh afternoon
party costumes. OF these the robe frocks
are best, as they can easily be put to-
gether at home, but In cold weather such
dresses should always be worn over a
high-necked and long-sleeved silk slip.
else they will look unreasonable. The
value Of having a variety Of silk slips
is not generally appreciated. Preferably
they should be of princess shape in taf-
fetas or peau de sole, not necessarily OF
the most expensive kind. With a good
pattern almost any girl may make one
that will fit and hang perfectly and Mt
slight cost, as usually but 10 yards are
required.
Neat shoes are an important accessory
of the afternoon party costume, but to
be always exquisitely shod requires a
large income. One resourceful girl paints
her soiled white kid evening shoes to
match her several house gowns and an
other used bronze polish because that
tinge accords we'll with most colors.
good investment, however, is a pair of
black satin slippers. which always look
dainty and are tnconspicuous.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-01

Repeatedly has It been asserted that
women dress for each other, yet 1t Is no.
ticenble that the thrifty members of the
fair sex invariably reserve their freshest
and most becoming toilettes for those oc-
casions when men are In evidence. and
that at dove" parties the majority OF
the gowns worn have either seen their
best days or been palpably re1uvenated
In one way or another.
One OF the best-dressed women Of
fashionable suburban district who is noted
particularly for the daintiness of her aft
ernoon party frocks, declares that they
never cost her penny beyond the wage
of a seamstress. she makes a habit OF
putting aside every discarded gown, with
a view to its future making over pos
sibilities, and now that the contrasting
waist and skirt are SO greatly the vogue,
finds it easy to have a variety OF dainty
house costumes at minimum expense.
Two most fetching afternoon tollettes
were evolved from q three-piece black
velvet street suit and a white and black
foulard frock. The foulard's jumper, with
it's white net waist and sleeves, seemed
at first glance a hopeless rag, although
its skirt was in good condition, as was
also the one of black velvet which had
three-quarter coat and a waist of the
1905 brand. Having ripped both waists
and the coat apart, steamed the velvet
and cleaned the silk, the amateur care
fully cleaned and menGed the net blouse
and tackled upon 1t suspenders made from
strips of black velvet taken from the
body of the waist, thus evolving a won
derfully becoming black and white gown,
quite nice enough for small dinner
in her own home or for a visit to the
play, so the now waistless fouiard
frock. the long velvet coat was trans
formed into one of continental type,
simply by trimming of its double
breasted fronts, and allowing them TO
omen over a waistcoat evolved from
scraps of the silk, piecing out the coat
sleeves with the uppers Of the velvet
waist sleeves and finishing them below
the elbow with wide turned-back Guns OF
foulard edged with velvet bands.
A charming little bridge coat was made
from n white brocaded silk skirt of
ancient cut and worn alternately with
variety of separate skirts, and the same
surgeon of old clothes redyed faded
black point d'esprit, trimmed its frayed
skirt fiounce with narrow taffeta bands
and wore it with short coat made of
. black grounded pompadour silk or the
original lace bodice discreetly covered
with a skeleton jumper OF wide pale
blue satin ribbons.
White fabrics will nearly always COM
bine happily. For instance, with white
broadcloth skirt-about the most useful

the same corset shows a bust boning
that effectively supports and suppresses
the bust to fashionable proportions. The
brassiere top corset, though not as prac-
tical as 1t might be for warm weather
wear, will be worn by many women de-
termined to acquire the well-molded long
and classic lines, especially those who
prefer the dainty handkerchief linen or
nainsook corset cover to the snug-htting
tailored brassiere. For the extremely
long models the boning is carried down
over the hip far enough not to conflict
with personal comfort. the sections OF
batiste or stockinette and elastic fabric
extending from the hips well to the knees
In many models. 1t is claimed that such
models will do wonders In reducing flesh
and molding the figure to correct proper
tions.

different colorings dear little Quaker

sleeve Lengths.


Sleeves have been a much-discussed sub
1ect in the past late winter weeks, but
now that the new waist models are here
the short sleeve--that is, the three-quarter
lengths an assured thing for another
two seasons. at least. This, Of course, per-
tains to dressy blouses, though the full
length model Is not altogether omitted
from dressy lines. In tailored and semi
tailored effects such as the new colored
striped lawn and batlste models which
are creating such a furor in plain effects,
the long sleeve and no other length is
SEEN These nusances are really very
stunning, especially when worn with
suit of a color complementing the tone OF
the waists colored striDe. They have stin
white linen collars OF turnover design with
narrow applied bands Of the waist fabric.
The Color Note.
The introduction of a bit of color In
lingerie waists is quite worthy of COM
ment at this writing. Dainty, delicate
colored embroidery edgings that are moth
ing but tiny buttonholed scallops with
landings of tiny polkadots are used In
some of the most fetching designs. The
frill front waists are particularly alluring
when embellished with this pretty trim
ming.
Hand EmbrOideries.
A touch of colored hand embroidery on
lace and net and lingerie waists Is very
effective when it compliments the tone OF
the suit it is worn with. Polkadots of col
ored silk outline the edges Of a shoulder
yoke or wander over the surface OF
pointed chemisette or square yoke. but
their number is always limited, so that
the colored note Is never found TO be OBJ
jectlonable. Very often touch Of color
is seen in the little silk bows or fancy
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-01

The apparent fall from grace of the lin
gerie blouse in the past winters dressing
seems but to have strengthened its cause
for the springtime. Already has 1t sub
jugated the fair followers of Dame Fash
ion who ever clamor for the new The
lingerie blouse is not new, we ali know;
we have had it for-well, more seasons
than a mode is usually allowed to thrive,
but the designs in which it is exploited
this year are decidedly new and original,
not to say exceedingly pretty and uniYer-
sally we'll liked.
The Butterfly.
With the butterfly idea soaring so high
In tailored coats and costumes, It is but
natural that such an effective and novel
element of fashion should find a use in
dressy separate blouses Of the lingerie
type in which the number of designs is
necessarily limited.
This injection of a new design into
department of dress absolutely suffering
for new ideas comes just at the right
time, when women are happy to revert to
sheer wash bouses after a season Of cos
tune effects in heavier and warmer mate
rials suited to the temperature Of the
winter season.
The new dressy blouses differ very ma
terially in one respect from those of aay
other season or year. Very little plain
material is used In any Of the designs;
sometimes 1t is lacking altogether, the
waist being made entirely Of lace and
embroidery bands varying in width. If
used at all, It appears more as trim
ming rather than foundation upon which
to lavish the lace and fine needlework.
The PapiIIiOn Waist.
This butterfly or paplllion model the
latter being more generally applied to
waists, is the most novel thing yet seen
in blouse designs. The fiat pattern is in
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-01

cry are puffings of the batiste of equal
width, entire deux with the narrow Val.
The sleeves are alternate rows OF the
embroidery, lace insertions and the mate
rial with the tiniest OF cuffs of the Irish
bands, finished on either edge with mar
row Val. frills.
VaIenciennes Much Used.
valenciennes lace enters largely into
the construction of these lingerie confec-
tions. There seems to be no substitute
for this pretty, delicate trimming The
French genre is the more favored, not be-
cause the patterns are any more attrac-
tive than those in the Normandy and Ger
man laces. but their filmy texture seems
more adapted to use with sheer materials
such as our lingerie blouses employ.
The entire deux idea is particularly IA
vored in this years models-in fact, 1t Is
one of the important features which
strongly contrast the designs of this
year with those of last With the finer,
sheerer bands of needlework the Val.
laces are used, but they are not more
fashionable than the clunys, which alter
nate with bands of eyelet embroidery In
the closer weayes Of linen.
The Yoke.
Very practical though dressy waists
are simple models, with a shallow shoulder
yoke Of the embroidery into which the
fronts are slightly gathered. The backs
are also gathered into the yoke, though
not as much as the fronts, for the fiat
back is as important consideration In
separate waists as the most elaborate
costumes. This shoulder yoke appears
in many Of the palmer waists. 1t gives
"a straight, clear-cut shoulder line and af-
fords trimming feature which is at
tractive.
Japanese Effects.
Despite the fact that the Greek In
duance is unon our fashions this snring

and the japanese idea seems to have ex-
perienced somewhat of a setback, oriental
models In waistdom are not lacking, and
they seem to be quite as enthusiastically
accepted as the rather extreme one-piece
papillion. This, even more than the
papillion, incllnes to the short-waisted
effect, but as long as short waist ana
elongated skirt linens are the fashion,
every woman, long and short of waist,
will wear these new designs. Sometimes
this effect is offset by the surplice design
of the body. which shows pointed yoke
Stimulating a chemisette. In one model
the mandarin oversleeve is of such size
as to almost " the underpuff Of plain
material gathered into a deep cum of lace
and embroidery matching the jumper
shaped body. Jumper effects In dressy
waists are prevalent. Many of the best
designs offered us so far are along these
lines, and 1t is quite evident that the
many friends of the lingerie blouse will
welcome this universally becoming mode
In this department of dress.
The surplice.
Less extreme models of surplice per-
suasion show the fronts extending over
only the top OF the sleeve. This design
is suggested for the woman who, regard
less of the vogue Of short-waisted effects,
prefers something which will tend to
lengthen the waist while 1t broadens
the shoulders. One such model Is OF
Valencennes insertions entire deux with
embroidery tucks of linen, The fronts
are arranged surplice-wise either side of
an inset chemlsette of the lace alternat-
ing with tucked bands of the linen on

clusters, inset with triple rows OF the
lace and gathered into cuffs of the lace
and linen.
