The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-08-28

the bodice proper is tucked to it along
the shoulders and underarm seams.
An overlay of chiffon Is often used
upon the. silk waist lining to add
strength to the outer material and to
deaden both the rustic and the lustre
n the case of lace dress, for both
SKIRT and waist there is needed an in
terlining OF chiffon. All yokes and
sleeves of very sheer material needs a
foundation CT chiffon laid on the lining
The linen gown may be called the
economy gown. Three colors seem
to be favorites, rose pink, tan and Co
penhagen blue. These linen gowns are
not to be all suits by any means, un-
less made on the three piece order
with jumper to match jacket and
skirt.
Many are the modes of decoration,
there may be a combination of en-
broidery, and lace or net, elaborated
by hand embroidery or combined with
all-over embroidery in which there is
a bit of color.
The hand embroidered parasol is
worn with the linen suit intended for
the street. Hats should be smartly
but not over trimmed. A new fabric
glove called cotton suede-lisle is very
hobby with linen suit.
A linen crash that resembles wooden
homespun makes up very satisfactorily
into street suits. One model had its
front panel outlined with pearl buttons
and the skirt was finished above the
hem with three tucks. A yoke Of baby
Irish lace and the new sectional
sleeves made the bodice smart The
belt was decorated with green en-
broi6ery and the hat had green TRIM
mings The shoes harmonized with
the color of the suit.
A jumper suit was developed from
a blue linen having a fine rib in it. The
jumper and skirt band above the hem
were embroidered in white braid. The
and undersleeves were of
heavy Valenciennes lace. White shoes
and stockings, and. gloves were used,
and a white smooth straw hat was
with a cluster of blue plumes.
The revival of the Greek modes
have brought in a new style of hair
dressing, the Psyche knot which in
its latest form is soft and loose, large
and low The hair should be parted in
front, made full and wavy about the
sides and back and the knot, which
really stands out good piece from the
head, should be sunk into these soft
masses of hair. All hard lines and
pulling back of the hair should be
avoided or the knot may take on the APP
pearance of the door knob style of hair
dressing known once. A glance at
some prints of Green feminine figures
will give one an idea Of the effect to
be gained.
Pompadours are quite low and less
worn, the idea being to shorten the line
from the top of the head to the throat,
to lengthen the line from the nose to
chignon at the back as we'll as that
from the crown to the chin.
Just a year ago the waistcoat fad
became the rage and many there were
who considered it but a short-livedi
one. at that, for they were to be seen
everywhere, on everyone, and in most
bizarre effects. But the coat style of
the past two seasons and those
promised for the coming one are of
such a type that the vest and waist
coat are still in demand. Moreover, on
no part Of the coat is there a place so |
we'll fitted for elaboration, hand-work |
and the touch of individuality as on
the waistcoat and vest. The materials /
are many that ara used for these little
affairs. Brocades such as one sees only |
In the most handsome upholstery eff
fects are used, and when embroidered
are very beautiful indeed; tapestry is
also used to good advantage on the
rougher and heavier weight fabrics.
For certain types of costumes the vests
Of pique and linen are best liked. many
Of the stamped linens are done over
in some color or in white, but there is
4 penchant just now for the white
dress accessories. Perhaps Of all the
smart effects the French cretonnes are
the smartest for these little garments
There are cretonnes made especially
for this purpose now and in very
beautiful and varied designs. Some OF
these waistcoats are made as separ
