and sleeve in one piece and draped over
mousseline waist which is run with tiny
horizontal tucks The bolero rounds up in
the front where it meets the centre of the
decollete and the points are held together
with a jewelled button. Another fancy
ornament of this kind is placed on the top
of the shoulder, where the bolero curves
downward to form sleeve caps. These
meet again midway between the shoulder
and elbow, and the joining is emphasized
by smaller button. The idea is simple
one to carry out and can be utilized in
making over Il last seasons evening gown.
An entire mousseline waist with embroid-
cry trimming is all that one needs to re-
place the old fashioned bodice This COM
bination when attached to the skirt by a
wide belt will give quite a fashionable air
to the gown.

Hats to Match Furs.

n ) long as women wear hats there
n will be millinery creations of the
picture type, and no matter how FASH
ions may change, these large, gracefully
curved brim affairs will continue TO
reign without having to undergo any
radical alterations. Crowns may be
higher one season and brims may be
wider another, but the general style of
the picture headwear will survive through
all these vagaries of fashion. The picture
hat depicted in Figure is simple, but then
picture hats always have that appear
ance, despite the fact that they are diff
cult to make and to decorate, as well as
to wear. The cluster of beautiful willow
plumes placed in front little to the left
provides all the trimming. with the ex-

facing of the brim. A muff is the fash

INDIVIDUALITY and originality of
design are demanded &C the fashions OF
the present day, and the desire to at
tain these nose desirable attributes is the
end and aim of every woman who is at all
interested in the great question of dress.
The picturesque in dress is a dangerous
beacon to follow, for by it many are led
astray, one reason being that no positively
well defined knowledge of what really is
the picturesque exists for the great ma
jority of women, and the terms indiyid-
ualiy, originality and the picturesque
are often made TO cover some terrible
offences against good taste, not to say
deeency. Another pC.It to be thought
fully considered is that because a gown
looks well in a painting a copy thereof
may not be either effective or becoming,
because the background is so absolutely
different. The atmosphere and the setting
must be taken into consideration.
Every woman is quite willing to admit
that the consciousness O. being well
gowned for any and every occasion is one
Of the most potent factors in happy life
To attain this happiness means in this
age Of the world most careful choice of
the wardrobe, but, remarkable to state,
does not involve the absolutely reckless ex-
penditure that has occasioned such com
ment of late years With one conspicuous
gown in her winter wardrobe, the fash
iOnable woman this winter can get along
with fewer gowns than last year, pro-
vided, however, that each and all are
quite up to date.
STRIKING GOWNS FOR EVENING.
Evening gowns provide always the best
opportunity for the display of the orig
inal and picturesque styles. The most
costly of fabrics, the most superb of trim
mings, the most striking of colors all gain
by the artificial lights and background
that are part of such social life as de-
mands elaborate dress, and within the
last few years it has become more the
fashion for women TO wear the most
elaborate of gowns at restaurants and at
the play. as well as at the more formal
private dinner or dance. After ALL a SUI
perb costume is shown to great advantage
in the modern restaurant or hotel dining
room, where the setting is, as a rule,
modelled after some palace and where
lights. mirrors and hangings are all
chosen with the intention of forming a
background for the handsomest of gowns.
A too simple, ineffective gown is quite
lost among such brilliancy of lighting, and
the more conspicuous, although by no
means the more beautiful, gown of daring
color, style and trimmings invariably at
tracts the most admiration.
There are this season many exquisite
effects produced by embroidery and APP
pliaue, and the fashion seems to be grow
ing in favor in spite of the decided APP
prevail of the severely plain clinging
draperies. Again and again has it been
said and written that the classic sim
plicity cannot be attained save by the

Modi6ed Tailored Efects

I'm Rgure is shown a tailored coat
of very useful sort. for while the gar
ment is plain enough for morning wear
it has nevertheless certain style in
the cut and finish which would make it
seem not out of place on rather more
dressy occasions. The style of this coat
renders it becoming to the majority of
figures, for it is tight fitting, and yet the
of the braided bands on
the front of the coat breaks the plain
effect in a manner to make it particularly
becoming to stout women.
A feature of the coat is the stimulation
of a waistcoat by the arrangement of
the braid. The cutting away of the
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-11-22

silk voile and satin is favorite model
this season. Although considered simple
in design it is most elaborate in detail. A
draped princess effect is the general style,
but it is not only the lines, that have been
most carefully studied, but the color and
material that are the striking points of
notice. An irregular design of velvet
leaves or flowers several shades darker
that the material of lie gown is out
lined with silver braid. and the pattern
is appliqued over the material. heavy
silk fringe is the only trimming for this
gown, which in it's beauty of coloring and
general design has proved to be extraor-
dinarily popular. 1t is a model quite
possible of imitation, and in a figured
,,4NL, "r orocuded silk or satin, or
painted chiffon would always be most
aarnling even while the copy must of

necessity lose somewhat of its air Of
individuality and costliness.
Evening gowns unquestionably provide
almost unlimited possibilities to thu lover
of the elaborate in dress. Brocade and
satin, plain or embroidered. take eX-
quisite lights and shades while all
trimmings and embroideries are displayed
to the best advantage. Embroidery in
gold or silver net is extremely fashionable
and effective, while jet, pearls and rhine
stones on light or heavy net are this win
ter most cleverly utilized to enhance the
beauty of both simple and elaborate
models. There is more than hint of
the theatrical in many of the newest
evening gowns on thefpicturesque order,
and here again it is wise to remember
that the setting-tL background of the
stage-is quite different from anywhere
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-11-22

coat in front just beneath the belt line
is becoming style, but one that must
be considered rather carefully for the cold
weather If a woman suffers from the
gold she will find coat cut away in this
fashion of little more value in protecting
her from the weather than one which
ends at the waist line.
The sleeves of this coat are finished in
a particularly neat and attractive fashion,
the braid being carried up high on the
upper side of the sleeve and finished in
a rounded point The coat shown in the
illustration was made to match a costume

fon, &c, all of the softest and without
the suggestion of any witness which
would interfere with perfect draping.
Cloth even of the softest quality is al
most too cumbersome for this costume
because of the folds of material around
the waist and hips. These when in very
thin material may be arranged so as TO
take from the size of the wearer rather
than to add TO it, but the very slender
woman alone would be able to stand these
folds in a material as heavy as cloth or
velvet.
