for a utility dress with it's baroness
relieved by washerwpman drapery
or felt sash with ends behind.
A street costume that will be quite
heavy enough until the early days of
winter with the addition of furs is
coat dress suit very suitable for call
ing, church, afternoon, lectures, must
Gales, etc. The costume in question
was made of black satin cloth trim
med with velvet bands and a fiat
braided design above the bands, and
was fastened with beautiful buttons
of velvet embroidered with a tiny de-
sign in braid. 1t partook of the Moy-
enage mode. The skirt was plated to
about half way above the knees and
semi fitting with no centre front or
back seam, while those on the sides
We're covered with bands of velvet, one
on each side of the seam, six buttons
decorating each band The bands are
carried up over the shoulders and the
closing is made on the left side and a
shawl collar outlines the top of the
waist in regular coat style; in fact the
suit resembles a skirt and coat Above
sleeves are in coat style with band
velvet and braiding extending from
the shoulder to little below the elbow,
from which point the sleeve has a por-
ton cut out and filled in with lace, on
each side of which the band of velvet
and braiding is carried down to the
wrist and around it.. The finish at the
wrist is a frill of lace and a velvet
band. The neck is filled in with a lace
chemisette to match the sleeves.
The hat worn with the costume was
a satin felt turned up on the left side
in cavalier style; a. huge velvet bow
ornamented it's under side. A velvet
band went around the crown and lying
fiat on the big brim along the lower
edge of the band was string of roses
in various shades, giving the note Of
color needed. The lace used was of an
ivory shade and the handle Of the UNI
brella was of ivory and gold and cha
mois gloves were worn. Black patent
leather shoes were worn. A set of
black furs will later be added to the
outfit, but at present a creamy tinted
feather boa is worn when needed.
A pretty costume that will come In
most appropriately for receptions,
lectures, etc, was developed from
shadow check in the new blush shade
called raison. In tunic effect it is
a mode that gives beautiful lines
and is particularly effective as an af-
ternoon dress. The skirt is of the
plated variety with a wide plat in
the center that gives a panel effect.
The Overdress or tunic is cut with long
points in the front that slope away
from a little below the waist line and
is again pointed in the back The
opening is filled in with a tucker,
above which a yoke of lace is placed.
The sleeves are short and laid in tucks
below which are lace sleeves to match
the yoke. Buttons outline the front
opening and also the side back seams.
The hat worn was one of the turbans
of blue velvet Light grey gloves are
worn and grey suede shoes
simple Moyenage gown made of
mohair in blue would make a very
tidy gown for the office. The skirt,
like most of it's kind. was plated, ris
ing higher in the back than in front,
topped with a. deep hem of the upper
portion. The back and front portions
of the upper dress were cut in narrow
panel pieces that extended a little over
the plaitings and were outlined with
narrow black banding around the
bottom up the sides and over the
shoulders. The neck was cut in a
shallow V, over which fell a frill of
cream chiffon, and the yoke was of
der, close fitting at the shoulder COM
ing to the elbow, from which to the
deep cuff ornamented with rows of
banding was a full puff Of the material,
but for one of full figure an under
sleeve of chiffon or silk close fitting
would be a better choice, as the elbow
puff is apt to make the waist look
much larger. The hat was a simple
affair of black felt in mushroom sailor
and bow at the right side. Over the
gown in winter will be worn one of the
new princess coats of mixed tweed.
