The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-06-17

Flazon is a very very fine new ant
sheer material that promises to have
something of vogue this summer. /
is sheer cotton made with a liner
thread finish. 1t is to be found in the
plain variety as well as the striped
plaid, crossbarred and Jacquard pat
terms; many of these, while not s,
expensive, resemble closely the print
en- linens.
While not new, the Swiss muslins
which are now to be found with the
ombre embroidered designs, make
beautiful gowns for the summer season
One thing is still considered imper-
alive, that the blouse suggests itself
as part of the skirt, and the last is
mounted more or less above the waist
line But there is one new note that is
probably due to the summer de-
mands that all neck finishes be i'm
maculate, and which it is so hard to
obtain with dark neck finishes. No
matter of what material, the blouse,
| if transparent, is made over a white
| lining that is allowed to mount UP
| into guimpe above a round or square
| opening. 1t is the plan of the nice
dressing idea to have all these neck
and sleeve finishes removable and
each dress is likely to have several
sets.
Up to the present the tailored suits.
which are very elaborate to what was
| once considered appropriate for such
costumes, have been more in evidence
than any other style, except for in
| door wear. But as the weather be-
comes warmer a dress that is neither
seen, and they are in a particular
class by themselves, made necessary
! by the heat of the American climate.
There are weeks here that a tailored
suit or fussy gown cannot be worn
with comfort, and for that reason the
| linen (the heaviest weight that can
be worm, the chambray, the zephyr
and the cotton limitations of the wool
goods are most worn and are made
up in the same style often as the regu-
lar tailor made gown. A blue ana
white cotton cheviot that was the ex-
act reproduction of the wool original,
was made by a first class tailor with
the same correct finish as he would
have put on the wool gown and the
whole dress in princess style and
jumper dress are those most Frequent
ly seen for ordinary wear. The tall
ored linen is par excellence the dress
for summer travelling and should be
in dark shade.
Often much needed article is the
light weight coat for evening and early
mornings, and some Of those seen in
the various silks with or without lin
ings. AT the pony races at Cedarhurst
costume consisting of a piue satin
cloth skirt made with high WASTED
skirt and short braided waist so fash
ionable just now, was competed by a
coat of heavy rough finished Shan
tung with a tiny fold of white and
gold silk just inside the collar to take
the place of the vest.
Jet is having a decided vogue lust at
present not only for morning but with
other costumes, for instance, a blue
suit had no color to relieve it in its
development but a chain of black Jet,
beautifully cut black breach and ear
rings, giving a most distinguished air
Bags are often of the same material
as the dress with very beautiful chains
attached, which often are jewelled
having small links set with stones
that either match or have a contrast
to the gown.
Embroidered buttons and crochet
and enamel buttons are much used on
the new gowns, and many of these
are placed in rims of jet or some
metal.
For slight figures beautiful sashes of
Brussels net are used and all sorts of
new ways of arrangements are sought
