rying Etruscan designs, Roman intag-
lilo and limitations OF jewels of great
price The fabric-made cabochon is
really a work of needle art, so intri-
cate are its twistings OF chenille, its
embroideries and its raised effects Ne
vortheless, quantities of them are put
on the new taiIormade costumes and
there is no denying that their pres
ence adds UNNECESSARILY to the gem
eral effect.
One-piece street gowns are reputed
by those women who wear chem to
represent the ideal of aartorial COM

thrust into the long, small sleeves, the
fronts hooked below the chemisette
and the sash girdle adjusted, the til

in two shades so closely allied that
the difference betwee nthem is scarce
ly discernible. In addition to the heavy
broadcloths, of which they are often
made, the widely ribbed serges of Eng
fish weave are used, as well as the thick
cheviots and worsteds They are ideal
costumes for early autumn wear on
the street and later may be worn ov-
err hip length sweaters or beneath fur
coats.
EXIT THE SEPARATE WAIST.
The comfort of the one-piece frock
and the ease with which it is adjust
ed, if not put together, will go far
toward driving away the separate
blouse which for so many years has
aidede the woman of limited income
to keep almost abreast with fashions

tailored costume and half dozen
dainty shirt waists and blouses were
sufficient money to satisfy the tailor,
she could always contrive the acces-
sorry waists. Now the so-called three
piece costume is really a coat and a

portunity to realize how unbeautiful
the feminine forearm can be.
LOUIS CUFFS EXCEPTIONALLY
SMART.
The Louis cuffs which for so long
have struggled to make themselves APP
preciated, but were only taken up to a
limited extent in past seasons, have at
last come into their kingdom. Fashion
not only approves of them, but she
puts them where they never were here
tofore-on the sleeves of indoor cos
tunes. The woman who has a small
and well shaped hand knows the va
lue of the Louis cuff, which, more
than any other finish, emphasizes tap
ering finger tips and dimpled knuc-
kles
SASHES SEEN ON EVERYTHING.
Sashes are said by eminent coutur-
ieres to be a possible accessory of
every gown and coat that bears the
Partisan trademark. So widespread is
the vogue certain to become that it is
safe to assume that long before next
spring everything feminine from the
kindergarten school girl to the great
grandmother will have collected a
goodly supply of fringed lengths of
satin, liberty or Ottoman silk. The
correct girdle, of course, is designed
solely for one type of costume and at
tached to it, and it may be remarked
in passing that art is necessary to
drape it properly so that the ends shall
fall in careless. graceful folds from the
front or left side of the raised waist
line. To make the fashionable pic
ture complete, 1t is above all else ne
cessary to know whether the special
garment to be thus decorated demands
a girdle encircling the waist or merely
attached streamers.
REVERS AS TRIMMINGS.
The value of revers as a trimming
is not to be overestimated. And in
adopting them 1t is necessary to decide
in what form they are most becoming
to the individual figure, for one of
their chief claims to consideration is
that the position OF their points may
be varied. If 1t is necessary or desir-
able-and here there is a distinction

with correctly cllnging, plain gOred
skirt which flare rather more about
the bottom than do those having
trains. The attached blouse has Shout
der bands instead of pla>ts and these
are outlined at either side with tiny
fabric-covered buttons set into black
etched buttonholes. There is a wide
collar turned back from an embroid-
cred muslin guimpe and siashed sleeves
revealing muslin elbow cuffs, but
the feature OF the frock is the pair
of envelope-fapped oblong pockets set
on at the termination of the shoulder
straps between bust and waist line.
, The same type of autumn outing frock
may be developed in striped, checked
or plain English mohair relieved by
| touches of bright color IN the form OF
silk or satin pipings, a neCktie, and,
| perchance a sash
TRAVELLING GARB
In lieu of long-skirted gowns and
coats in the prevailing Directoire type
many women are adopting these short
skirted one-piece frocks for travelling,
as they answer perfectly as morning
garb at weekend house parties, for
tennis, golf or almost any informal
outing. In the absence of a suit wrap
the best substitute is a rubberized util-
| ity coat In black and white plaid,
| checked worsted or silk Many of these
are made up in one with the garment
proper. Others are quite scant below
the waist line and of three-quarters
length.

Radical Changes In Tailored N1OdeSScan Skirts
ened COatSCIOse Fitting Sleeves With High Pointed Cuffs
Wrist FriLS---SaShes Revers-==A1any Buttons

So radical have been the changes in
fashions during the past few months
that a gown of last winters dating
differs greatly from those now being
shown by the clothes artists of Paris.
The craze in regard to the revival OF
Directoire modes which calls for cling
ing skirts where erstwhiIe they were
moving, for cores versus pleats and
for short waists rather than long are
only the salient features of the old
new idea. The woman who is CARRIED
in accordance with Dame Fashions
DEGREES appears to be about a foot tall
er than of yore and half her former
width She has neither waist, should
ers nor hips, and the consensus of op-
inion of masculine critics is that she
most resembles a lead pencil. But
in point of fact she is like a top-heavy
telegraph pole, owing to the proper
lions OF huge hat laden with plumes
and wide-spreading wings.
SKIRTS GROW SCANTIER.
The sheath skirt, which created such
a ver-to-be-forgotten sensation az
the Grand Prix last June, is quite I'M
likely to be worn to any extent in
America any more than it is in Paris,
where the best-dressed women do not
go in for extremes. But, while all the
split sides of whatever skirts of that
type are now being made are modest
ly filled in with fans of one material
or another, the basic idea is unques-
tlonably to be economical of cloth, sa-
tin or velvet, as the case may be.
Therefore, the cores are so sharply
sloped that not an inch of extra space
is allowed to the hips, and scarcely
more from there to the knees, whence
the train widens so slightly that about
the bottom it rarely measures more
than two and a half yards.
INCREASING LENGTH OF COATS.
Because Dame Fashion is an incon-
sistent lady she is putting into her
smartest-looking coats much of the
material OF which she is robbing the
skirts which accompany them, for
such wraps are not only exceptionally
long, but they are gradually lengthen-
ing, and in the most irregular man
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-09-16

ner. 1t is a foregone conclusion that
if a cast is cut exceedingly long di-
rectly at the back it will be clipped
squarely across the abbreviated waist
line in front, and if it dips sharply in
front it slopes from a short back. That
every woman may be fitted with a
coat to her liking there is another
model having long and narrow side
forms and tabs, and eton-fitted back
and double-breasted fronts of cores
ponding length.
A MODERN ADAPTATION OF THE
INCROYABLE.
Because the eton back is a bit too
extreme for the majority of women,
especially if they possess the redund-
ant curves which fashion decries for
the moment, some exceptionally clev-
er Partisan artist has designed a coat
that gives the same long side lines as
does the typical Incroyable, but also a
scant back form, which fits the figure
almost closely as the skirt over which
CLlS 5dl LlCuI 10 WOlH' II 10 Ju6 SOTJ Vi
coat which appeals to any woman who
intends to adopt long skirts, as it has
all the features of the extreme fash
ions of the moment, and yet is emin-
emily practical.
THE SLEEVES THAT ARE.
What sleeves would be was for
months mooted question which the
greatest of dressmakers at headquar-
tiers in Paris and Vienna refused to
answer, probably because they dared
not compromise their regulations. The
sleeve OF the year has arrived, how
ever, and it is not any too beautiful.
Nevertheless, 1t is smart, and it is the
one which accords best with the
vogue of long-drawn-out effcts. Prim-
arily 1t is the conventional coat sleeve
so reduced that at the top it must be
set plainly or with a minimum amount
of fulness into the arm size, and from
elbow to wrist be all but tight-fitting
1t extends far over the hand, and in
every outline is utterly divergent from
the overworked "half-short" sleeve OF
voluminous cut, which for so prolong-
ed a period afforded the world an OPP
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-09-16

without difference-to add width
across the bust and shoulders and
slenderness toward the raised waist
line, then the points should slope
downward. If, on the contrary, the
shoulders are wide and the bust Q bit
too high, the points of the levers may
form an almost straight line across
the lower portion Of the waist and
their narrowest part merges into the
shoulder seam at its junction with the
collar.
HIGH COLORS REIGN SUPREME.
Anything better suited to the Anne
rican climate, save in certain South
ern sections, than the high collar which
is being SO extensively used on French
tai ored suits, it would be difficult to
imagine. 1t protects the throat not
only at the back where draughts are
most apt to attack it, but comes so
tips from frost bites and at front,
while slightly depressed, is likely to be
the salvation of many a set of delicate
vocal chords. Verify, the Incroyable
collar should gain the approval Of
those physicians who for long years
past have warred against the open
necked coat and the chest yelled with
lingerie guimpe.
CLOTH TRIMMINGS REVIVED.
When King Solomon declared that
there was no new thing under the sun
he was probably thinking about femin-
inc fashions, and in these few are so
periodically revived as that of cloth
trimmings upon silk or satin gar
ments. The revival this season is I'M
doubtedly due to the vogue Of the
tunic, which, when developed of IA
brio that has not a woven-in border
must obviously have an edging of hand
embroidery, fancy braid or cloth These
rows of cloth bands not only are used
to define draperies, but they empha-
size the shape of cuffs, collars and hip
pockets, and form the battlement eff
fects which are now so marked fea-
ture of skirt and coat trimmings.
llONS.
There is no gainsaying that the
smartest of the imported costumes or
the tailored type are in one-tone COM
binations of two materials. If broad
cloth or serge is employed for both
skirt and coat, their trimmings are
certain to be of either satin or Otto>
man silk. When satin is the chief
fabric, broadcloth is used as a gar
nishing, and with the ultra fashionable
Ottoman and rep silks are combined
various attractive varieties of smooth
ly finished cloth, including silk cash
mere and satin striped wolfe. Cloth
and satin are applied to velvet, which
in the chiffon weaves will be largely
employed, because of it's clinging quail
tiles, for the upbuilding of sheath
skirts and long coats.
BUTTONS, CABOCHONS AND BUG
KLES.
When 1t is remembered that the Di-
rectoire period was one of great ex-
travagance in jewels as well as liz
dress, it is not surprising that buttons,
cabochons and buckles of an elaborate
sort should play an important role in
present day costumes. Where guam
titles OF small buttons are necessary
to emphasize a line on coat or skirt,
they are usually of the crocheted type
and not of brilliant hue. Buckles,
however, advertise their presence blat-
antly because of their size and gold
bullion texture, while cabochons are
massive AFFAIRS of gold and silver, car

fon which soon becomes rumpled and
soiled, and which there Is no means
or saving by the substitution of some
thing simpler even when the costume
is only to be worn on the street The
problem of economy in this respect ia
one that will take the united gray mat
ter of many clever women to solve
SEPARATE TAILORED COATS.
In addition to the tailored costume,
the woman of limited income has to
worry over a separate coat, for no
longer will the ordinary utility gar
ment answer for any and every day
light and evening occasion. The tail
ored separate coat is designed chiefly
to accompany the satin or wolfe after
noon costume which Miadi wears TO a
luncheon or a bridge and therefore it
must not be of too elaborate a char
acter to be worn in a public convey
ance. At the same time it must be
| loose and extend a tribe below the
knees. Above all, it's sleeves must be
capacious, for the blouse or bodice top
of the semidressy costume Is certain
to be of crushable material. The En-
pire coat is most readily slipped into
and when not of Ottoman, taffeta or
satin, should be of a fine broadcloth
trimmed preferably in self-tone SOU
tache, passementerh or chenille. The
greatest attention should be devoted to
the neck, which should be provided
with high band or have an attached
ruche. This will protect the throat
quite as well as a fur piece-an &C
cessory which is prone to leave trace
of it's presence upon the neck finish
of the gown.
