The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-09-17

front that may be butt oned from belt
to hem, fitted to two side cores that
join in the back in habit fashion.
While this model is an excellent one
for the tall woman with not too great
hip measure, the same idea of the
open front and habit back can be car.
ried out with many cores which will
be much more becoming to a full
figure. These skirts have the recon-
mendation of being easily Numbered.
A second style of skirt has a box plat
| both front and back and circular sides.
For rather heavy weight goods this
is a good model, moreover one gains
length of line often lost in other cir
cular types.
An excellent design for the winter
princess frock of striped silk or
checked wolfe or figured foulard con-
sists of skirt of eight cores, the Gen.
ter front and back cores continuing
as the centre portions of the over
blouse, and the joining of the blouse
and skirt is made at the sides under
a belt which laps on the edge of these
panel sections. The dress closes on
the left side under the edge of the
front section.
The overblouse has no sleeves, but
the deep armhole is shaped with a
slight extension in the nature of
sleeve bands. These sleeve bands and
the V neck are finished with a band
trimming. The style of guimpe
changes with the nature of the dress
fabric net, dotted Swiss, tucked lawn
and chiffon being those most used for
the purpose.
One of the little bits of wardrobes
necessities that the clever needle Yo-
man can make is lingerie coat. The
coat lining that fits we'll but loosely is
covered with bands of shaped pieces
of hand embroidery, Valenciennes,
filet insertion or edging.
Coats of filet and Irish are still liked
and will be worn this fall and during
the winter for theater wear.
A new showing of capes was an ex-
hibition last week in one of our larger
department stores. They resemble the
old fashioned riding cloaks and many
in fact, nearly all of them had hoods
but unlike the golf capes had shallow
collars. Broadcloth seems to be the
lfavoritia material and the hoods are
lined with some bright material. Some
had the fronts trimmed others were
plain and tied with cord and tassels.
While the, majority were capes pure
and simple, few had openings some
thing like kimona for the hands to
be thrust through, but there is a cloak
also of the kimona style that is long
and reaching to the feet.
The separate coat is a prominent
fashion in the new fall outfit just as it
was prophesied this spring, a proph-
esq many women widely followed.
One of the dress suit coats is made
with vest and is again cut out at the
waist with skirts that do not cover the
front of the skirt but fall almost to
! the feet.
Buttons, especially those of the COW
cred variety, and the fancy braids are
feature of the imported wraps and
winter coats. In all the very dressy
coats there is the vest or waistcoat.
The latter can be brought ready made
at the large stores and as the imported
article is far in advance of our tail
ors' work, it is better for one to buy
these elegant waistcoats and have
them inserted in the new suit
| A new idea was seen in sweaters
| the other day in the shape of a collar
shaped and notched like a mans coat
collar with cuffs to match and made in
a contrasting color to the main part
of the jacket.
One of the new hat shapes Is round
longer at the back and slightly droop-
ing, and the narrow front has a deep
dent above which is a large bow or
chou of ribbon or tulle, ETC., and on
both sides is long feather of the
rougher order.
Little velvet Etons with large open
sleeves are handy adiuncts for the first
cool days in the fall.
