The Ogden standard. [volume] (Ogden City, Utah) 1902-1910, 1909-09-04

wv TE are just at that rather dull
EAJ mid-season period IN fash
We ions, when the summer is
almost but not quite at an
end. and the fall is almost but not quite
beginning. Yet Paris is never without
ideas, even in the eddy of seasons. and
several new gowns have been shown in
the Bois that have attracted well mcrited
attention. AT this season, too, in Paris.
one begins TO gather from the general
gossip what the fall promises. Ex-
trcme styles of the kind in which sprinp
and summer were fertile have passed
out of vogue The fall shows return
to the heavily draped and rather full
although close-htting models OF twenty
TO twenty-five years ago The black lace
cape | show here is really a modern
adaptation of the old-iashioncd cir
oular," for instance. How far we are 10
proceed along these lines l do not know !;
the chances are that after Rcdfern and
Paquin have finished with their new
models, only those most gifted with
Imagination could trace the inspiration.
Some OF the gowns which | spoke OF
above am showing you here. They all
OF them are OF the mid-scason variety
and can be worn up to the middle OF
September without discomfort.
Transparent Black Wraps tho Moments Fad
Paris women have taken UP the
transparent black wrap with unusual en-
thusiasm-evcn for Paris. These wraps
are of black net, lace and chiffon. and
are often elaborately embroidered with
jet beads This graceful black chiffon
cape falls from shirred shoulder yoke
OF black velvet, and over the chiffon
falls netting of silver threads weighted
by velvet roSettes. The cape is trc-
mcndously full at the bottom where it
IS weighted by an insertion of heavy
Yak lace.
Pale Blue Gown with Turquoise Embroidery
The delicacy of this lovely costume
can scarcely be realized from the illus
tration which does not produce the col
oring- Over trailing slip of pale-bluc
crepe de chine falls tunic OF white
lace, and this lace tunic is weighted
down by the girdle of pearls and tur-
quoise-colorcd beads which hangs at
one side. A shaped piece of this blue
and pearl embroidery hangs over the
bodice of lace, and the sleeves are of
blue chiffon and lace
5leoveless Goats smnrt II Not Warm
Though the gay little sleeveless
wraps of lace are not the least protcc-
ton, they are very charming over white
summer frocles for afternoon wear. This
lace coat is really made of four long
panels, bound Mt the edges with silk 10
match the frock it accompanies, and
caught together only under the arms
where the silk belt crosses Motifs Of
heavy Irish crochet set into the stole
ends give added richness to the coat
There are no sleeves, the armholes be-
ing edged with silk bands; but the
sleeves of the frock beneath are made
OF the samo lace, with tucked chiffon
cuffs.
Lavender Linen With Embossed Trimming
The embroidery which trims this
simple yet pretty dress is dyed in the
lavender shade of the linen. Both coat
and dress are trimmed with this en-
broidery and also with the soutache
braiding, followed with lines of heavy
stitching which produces a raised or
embossed effect on the linen. Around
the decolletage is line of violet velvet.
and the violet note is repeated in velvet
on the hat, which is of leghorn trimmed
with wistaria. The gloves are the
dainty Niagara embroidered sort, with
lavender embroidcries on a sclf-tone
ground.
