The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-07-22

effects are charming those in delicate
shades of pink, blue and green are de-
lciously cool and dainty to the eye.
Some of the new lawns with en-
broidered borders when made up over
! colored slips are very attractive 1or
afternoon dresses and also make pref
ty dancing frocks for the summer re-
set l saw gown the other day,
very fetching and easily developed. At
| a big sale of embroideries a piece OF
flouncing deep enough for skirt had
been found which was tucked finely
at the top fitting closely over the hips
and falling plainly in it's long lines to
the feet The slip was in white cot
ton messaline beautiful soft mate
rial for this use. The waist was made
over a bodice lining which really
amounts to nothing more than a sup
port about the waist. The embroid-
| ery had been draped in surplice fash
! ion back and front with under arm
portions and a bit of the embroidery
! for a shallow yoke that filled in the
V formed by the surplice. The sleeves
were shaped by the two seams with
two edges of the embroidery coming
at the top of the arm and laced to-
gether with a tiny white silk cord.
Another gown-worn at one of the
large affairs here-was of very fine
French linen of beautiful texture and
| weave. The skirt was plain and OF
many cores which were joined with a
big embroidered line that resembled
a cord having first been padded. The
| upper part of the bodice was orna-
mented with close pattern of eyelet
embroidery the waist resembling
bolero laid over a chiffon under waist
and an embroidered belt deep as a
handbreadth with deep scallops gave
around the low neck and under the
the waist the effect of the Empire
edges of the embroidered sleeves
finished in scallops also were bands Of
blue silk Needless to say the figure
must be slight to wear this.
No material seems to sC!ve so many
purposes as pongee. One may secure
rather coarse grained variety of the
natural color and with white collars
and cuffs a most serviceable morning
or business suit is ready; or if for the
latte. purpose only it is wished pom
gees in dark brown and blue are to be
had at very reasonable prices.
| For such a gown select a model
which shows some planting in the
| skirt for while all skirts fit we'll over
the hips. there are plated f1ounces
let in here and there below the knees
which give a considerable flare. The
| sleeve should not be too full not too
SMALL nor the waist line too high. for
wider this autumn, the shoulder line
| broader, and the belt in almost nor
NAL in position.
| A number of one-piece pongee gowns
are to be had and beautiful embroid
cry done on pongee or even pattern
gowns of pongee with the most beau
! tiful effects are to be had. The lat
ter are very elaborate and suitable
| only to such times as when a dressy
effect is in keeping with the occasion.
Those for afternoons are usually made
with the separate trimmings applied
to suit One model which, finished in
the back with only a few wide tuclSs,
is fastened in the front, little to one
side, all the way down from collar to
hem with large buttons covered with
the material itself, is exceedingly
pretty At the throat is a little guimpe
of finest batiste, tucked and trimmed
with naN.owest lace. This guimpe is
only buttoned underneath into the |
waist so that it can be freshened
whenever necessary Waist and skirt !
are all in one, but joined with a snug
ly fitting belt of the pongee and the
