Australian Cadets

All children in Australia are drilled,
but the elder boys are attached to the
Australian military forces by means
Of the cadet corps. Almost every large
school has its band of cadets, who
wear neat khaki uniforms and are
armed with light rifles, in the use Of
which they are frequently instructed.
Every year those boys have shooting
matches, and the scores prove that
among the youngsters there are many
who have already become skilled

gown. Considered from the ultra fash
ionable viewpoint, 1t has no rival, while
the practical minded declare that its wear
ing qualities are beyond question.
Importance of Bridge FrOcks.
So strong a hold has bridge taken upon
the set of women who go In for artistic
dressing that the bridge gown has become
of quite as much Importance in the esti-
nation of woman of leisure as any that
are to be worn within the range of mas
culine eyes. As this costume Is to be
used chiefly in the afternoon. but in an
artifcially lighted room, 1t must combine
the practical with the ornamental by be-
ing quite sufficiently elaborate to do honor
TO the hostess and yet not too light OF
color or too garishly decorated to be worn
while walking in the residential section
of a large city. Some of the bridge prin-
cesse frocks that are being developed In
mole gray, slate green and tobacco brown
satin have trailing, tight-htting skirts of
nunlike simplicity and with no trimming
save the cluster of tiny tucks running
biasly upward from front to 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 evil
dence at the card table is peculiarly ef-
fective.

back cuff, which permits only the narrow

and the other sleeve may be sligntly
drawn toward the shoulder, trimmed with
vertical bands and show deep turn

tion Of the idea first introduced several
years ago, when evening gowns had
sleeves of widely varying design, one De-
ing a small puff, while the other was
nothing more than a ribbon band.
Black and Azure.
Black with pale blue has ever been re-
garded as a stunning combination when
artistically blended, and as the most Tor
lorn of fascos when too much of the one
or the other was used. The French, how
ever. perfectly understand what are the
exact color proportions. This season they
areemaking up a vast number of pastel
and palely tinted blue costumes, but In
most instances they are placing scarcely
any black about the bodices and consld-
erable quantity upon the skirts. On the
satin demitoilettes of this type there Is
almost invariably a wide black satin or
panne velvet band put plainly around the
skirts hem. Above this may be black
bordered tunic, vertical black lace band
ings or applied borders of black and
white embroidery.
Gold and Silver Mountings.
Among the smartest of the gray gowns
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-27

which, undeniably, are to be the leaders
this season, are many of plain and satin
striped pearl voile which are maryels Oh
beauty, and yet so exceedingly plain tnat
the casual observer wonders vaguely why
they are so effective The key OF the
design Is to be found invariably In the
trimming treatment of the bodice, wnlch
shows in one way or another tnat tue
outside material is built over cloth OF
gold or silver lining, the CLINT of which
is reflected seemingly in the ttnsel OF the
bodice embroidery landings or the Or
namentation of its guimpe. These gowns
also show the hint of azure which Paris
seems to favor so strongly this season,
for whenever line of black does not ap-
pear somewhere on the collar and bodice
there Is certain to be one of pale blue,
often supplemented with breast KNOT
or a girdle of the same hue.
scarf-draped Skirts.
Skirts are scarf-draped in SO many diff
ferent ways that the novel variations
upon one fundamental idea, so simple
as a long strand of satin, silk or lace,
are postivey amazing. One of the most
attractive methods of draping soft SILK
sash is to start it from just below the
waistIine on the left side. securing 1t In
position with an enormously large and or
namentaI chou, from which depends an
end finished with deep fringe or long
tassel. The other piece crosses the front
of the skirt slantingly to the opposite
side. where another chou and end are
formed. Or the scarf may be brought
from the left side down almost to the
hem of the skirts center, where. having
been folded backward to form point, 1t
runs upward to the opposite side OF the
waistline and thus encircles the back OF
the wearer. simpler method OF ar
rangement is to swath the sash about the
hips and partially over the raised waist
line, then draw it high at the back ana
knot it into a single long loop at one
end. Such sashes, be 1t understood, are
invariably of full-width materials. Tor
the original ribbon form Of it Is rarely
seen save on quite young girls.
BretelIe Trimmed Corsages.
Bretelle trimmings continue to be ex-
tremeIy popular, and are seen on large
number of the ultra smart French bodices.
In some instances the bretelles are com
posed wholly of folds which, starting
from the waist line, but concealing only
the sides of the figure, extend widely over
the shoulders, and for some distance over
the sleeves. The Japanese arm-slze idea
is still seen on the arrangement OF those
bretelles which, being of the material OF
the gown, are made to form the enure

short sleeve, the narrow space or at
the back and front of the bodice being
filed in with the deep guimpe Of net or
lace whose supplementary sleeves often
extend we'll over the hand. type OF
bretele which ultimately becomes sash
is one which, being so draped over the
shoulders as to leave the tops Of the
sleeves and the under arms forms of the
bodice exposed, is attached to draped
girdle that at the back holds in place the
two long sash ends Of the accessory.
Two Types of Evening Gowns.
Nine out of ten of the dressmakers who
have recently returned from Paris report
that evening gowns may practically DO
divided into two distinct types-the ex-
ceedingly simple and the unusually clad
orate. The simple models are naturally
on Greek lines, and include the cl1nging
princesse gowns of satin or velvet, which
are actually raised girdle trailing skirts
attached to bodices of ilmiest lace or
embroidered net. Sometimes the skirts
are absolutely plain and show only the
merest suggestion of tunic or drapery
about the hips. while others are elaoor-
ately hand-embroidered In raised erects
done with heavy silk or chenille or appli-
uued with artificial silk or velvet MOWERS
so fiattened against the fabric as to ap-
pear to have been woven into 1t. Inc
other type of evening gown is gor-
geous affair of brocade showing gold and
silver threads of embroidered panne vel
vet and satin, or of gold, silver or jet
pailetted gauze, made up over cloth OF
gold or silver.
The Greek Influence.
The influence OF the Greek idea upon
evening gowns is especially marked In
the case of many of those copied from or
similar to the celebrated creations OF
Margarine La Croix. bridge frock OF
emerald green satin, for instance, has q
gold fringed front pointed tunic with
sash back and a gold tulle bodice en-
broidered with gold motifs that is cut IN
one with the sleeves, which are gold laced
at the inner side. Another gown, which Is
the acme of simplicity as well as OK
modesty, has tunic bordered with en-
broidered silver bands and slashed sleeves
caught together with antique silver but
tons The most extreme gown, and also
the simplest, is a blue Ottoman princesse
bordered with blue embroidery, which has
its split left side caught together at In
teryals, but then 1t is worn over an en-
| tire underdress of satin yelled with silver
| pailletted blue gauze.

parent fabrics is not a novelty, but Pa
risian dressmakers have thought out a
new manner Of combining the two mate
rials. They are employed together chiefly
in the darker shades, the costumes being
intended for semiceremonious occasions,
such as luncheon and informal days at
home. for while women are popularity sup
posed 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, striped
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-walsted.
Over 1t Is draped a low-neckeds elbow
sleeyed bodice of black chiffon or SILK
lace. which is caught into the waist with
an ornamental girdle, and thence extends
in a straight, all-round tunic, terminating
lust above the knees. There is net
guimpe which matches the color of the
silk stripe and emphasizes the shade seen
dimly through the transparent Yelling.
Various Sleeve Drapipgs.
One of the fads of the moment which
IA occasionally seen In the demitoilettes
brought out from Paris is the difference
In sleeve drapings on one costume For
instance. the bodice may be of lace veil
ing. satin or silk, worn over white net
or lace guimpe and trimmed with en-
broidery bands If there are bell sleeves,

bulky appearance, that they will hold

the same sort is shaped like an opera

envelope shape.
A bag that is purse and toilet case in

equipment for the suburban resident who
goes into town for days shopping.

Tina was when the shopping bag OF
the woman in moderate circumstances
was a modest affair OF sealskin, morocco
or alligator. with the simplest OF leather
or dark metal mountings and perchance
a monogram on one side. 1t did duty
winter and summer, and when 1t was
shabby another OF similar ilk was pur'
chased and carried until usage put II uot
Of commission. But that was In less
extravagant age. The woman OF tne
present day has an infinite number OF
hand bags which she selects as carefully
as she would watch or q bracelet ana
carries in accordance with certain cos
tunes. With her ordinary runabout
