Without Bones

" HE latest wrinkle in collars is the

lingerie blouses and dresses are
finished with these new collars. IL

New CottOns

T HE newest materials for afternoon
gowns are the cottons. which are
shown in such attractive ways. For in
stance. one cotton wolfe is printed with
large flowers in, the design so popular in
1890. and then there are many cottons
with printed borders. which may be
cut off and used for trimming. On
the whole. these are really economical,
for they save buying any extra trim
ming. These voiles. when used for
summer dresses. are worn with coats
of bright colored silks. which blend in
well and which are really most attrac-
tive and appropriate. The general tend
ency OF the summer is 10 combine
colors. while all materials are printed
in many charming and elaborate de-
signs.

in the back than in the front. 1t is
possible to fit these straight collars
smoothly, provided the waist is cut
high enough at the neck. A coll
with a wide curve at its lower edge,
which sets down below the throat
line. gives the neck thick look and
grace.
A common fault is to cut out the
arm-size too much under the arm.
This done and the sleeve sewed in. the
arm is pinned to the side and loses all
freedom of motion; whereas. If the
waist Is cut high under the arm, the
sleeve may be tight, yet the arm may
be raised above the head with no dis
aster to the waist.
When the shoulder seams must be
altered care should be taken to keep
the line true and the position right
neither too far to the front nor to the
back. At the base of the collar the
neck line should be divided into three
equal parts; the line from shoulder
seam to shoulder seam across the
front should measure exactly twice /;
much as the line from shoulder seam
to shoulder seam across the back.
The shoulder seam must not be too
long, else the sleeve cannot be fitted
with the necessary trim, square look.
To adjust the waist at the belt line
a narrow belt should be pinned about
the waist line. and to this the fulness
should be pinned. keeping tn seams
and line of fulness as perpendicular
as possible. Let the under-arm seam
fall straight and let it be an easy fit
from the arm-size to the belt line.

for some future occasion Costumes
of cloth and serge have been. up 10

dark colors are favored; but these
tailored suits are interesting because
they are quite different from any
production of former years.
There are skirts of largely checked
black and white damage. accompanied
by jackets of fine black satin faced
cloth, cut swallow-tail and worn over
a white satin vest and an old lace
jabot Sometimes they are trimmed
with soutache and sometimes with
passementerie. The tailors, too. nave
launched skirts of materials that have
hitherto never been seen. They show
alternating stripes Of patterned and
plain stuff exactly matching each
other This material is pleated. and.
with each motion. it produces an iri-
descent effect which is most original
and chic. With these skirts plain
silk or cloth jacket to match is worn.
The revers and vestings are embroid-
cred and braided.
The tailors are combining novelties
of great elegance. and nowadays the
so-called classical tailor-made is
never seen in close fitting version.
There are curved backs on tailored
coats.
White serge suits are shown in the
shops. although it has been too cold
for them to be seen on the street as

bound with white soutache braid.

guimpe itself is Of tucked sheer linen,
while the cravat is of black satin

The band around the guimpe line

This frock would also be very at

cotton wolfe. In fact, any OF these
dresses may be made Of other mate

are SO soft and wear SO long that
they are very desirable. The first
gown with the crossed vest would be
beautiful of silk cashmere in a soft
shade of champagne. and it would
then be appropriate for quite dressy

Taffeta Supplanted
by Satin

TAFFETA, which has played such Q
large and important part both in
i the making and trimming OF
clothes. is this season being supplanted
by satin.
Satin is the vogue in black and in
colors.
For the dressier costumes satin is
chosen, and it is seen in all the modish
colorings.
Simplicity is the dominating note in
the construction of these costumes. for
satin is a material that can we'll afford
to be used untrimmed. so handsome 10

Beautiful evening cloaks are OF satin:
and. as trimming, it appears upon other
cloaks of dressy type. whether for even
ing or day wear.
Gowns of wolfe and chiffon and all
diaphanous fabrics are bordered and fin
ished with satin in matching or har-
monizing hue.

like folds OF taffeta used to adorn.
Shawl collar and small turned-back
cuffs of black satin afford a smart fin
ish 10 the tailored suit of serge, which
may be further adorned with satin
covered buttons.
Girdes there are Of black satin with
sash ends. finished with fringe or tas-
sells; these are worn even with tailored
suits.
Smart stocks are fashioned OF black
satin. These are made TO fasten in the
back, and are finished top and bottom
with frills of white tulle. Very chic are
these worn with the semi-tailored shirt
waist or even with lingerie blouses.
There are all kinds OF fluffy, ruffied
affairs in the way of neck ruffs this
season-ruffs that are made entirely
of loops of soft satin ribbon. and others
Of tulle. lace. velvet ribbon or feathers.
All are finished with a bow and ends OF
satin ribbon-sometimes fastening the
ruff together at one side and some
times at the center back. These rufus
are made to match or harmonize with
the costume. or. more often. to match
the hat or its trimming. The ribbon
bow and ends are either black or OF
color to match.
Even petticoats this season claim satin
for their own. This Is because the
vogue of the clinging gown renders tat
feta inappropriate.
The vogue OF satin is influencing the
finish of other materials. which are as

that 1t will not hold without belt
line, so it is not the sort of thing that
may be made in one piece to hang
from the shoulders.
A wool wolfe in soft shade OF
brown is made in pleats. while the
vest effect is obtained by two bands
of embroidery crossed in the front.
These are edged with narrow ruch-
ing of lace and fastened by four satin
covered buttons in black. The gtrdle Is

~OSTUMES for summer weather
must not only include light
dresses Of silks and cottons,
but also a few gowns that
may be worn on cooler days at sea-
shore and mountains. and for these
there are no better materials than
wool wolfe and light cashmere. There
is no reason. however, why the gowns
no matter how warm they may be
need be either stiff or unbecoming,
and there are few suggestions on
the page today for the making OF
such frocks.
In the first place. they should not
be too short. Wool wolfe is a material

it, Then the material is so elastic
