East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-09-18

ing very narrow at the waist the front
was curved outward widening the
skirt by two inches. In the bodice the
front was apparently carried upward
the sides and folded over. The shouI-
ders were on the bias to match the
skirt. The neck was cut in slight '
and a pointed shawl collar Of white
embroidery was Its finish with an in
ner yoke and collar. The sleeves were
long tight-flttlng and ornamented with
small pet buttons. Jet buttons also
decorated the skirt and the waist. A
black silk tie and belt was used with
black gloves and hat.
Wraps of all sorts, loose, straight,
sleeveless with immense armholes ex-
| tended into winged piece that served
to cover the arm is much used for the
evening. A number Of these fasten
on the left side with double rosettes
or frogs, and many are made in toga
style, that Is, the upper piece that
fastens over is dTaped and fastened on
the shoulder with a decorated buckle.
Numbers of circular capes are seen
and will be seen as the autumn pro-
crosses into the winter coolness. For
the most part they are plain made OF
fine cloths with flat or high collars
shaped on the shoulder with seam
and outlined with small buttons, while
large size-one or two-are used
for closing.
The new sleeves are close fitting to
the elbow and just below are two or
three ruffles in wide lace or chiffon.
Sometimes the ruffles are headed with
band, sometimes the band lies be-
tween the two with the ruffles revers-
ed to each other. Another sleeve that
is frequently seen is very like these Of
the summer and well adapted to heay-
ier materials being cut in the long
coat sleeve style and finished with
points coming over the hand. A num-
Der of sleeves in the lighter gowns
are being made very long and slightly
ruffled and held in place with brace
let of black velvet and buckle. Often
this bracelet is made Of braids or laces
or beads and clasped with a gold or
silver buckle.
All sorts of decorative devices will
be seen this winter for the age we are
copying is one Of decorative art. All
kinds of gold thread and inwrought
pieces will add to the trimming
when added and yet on the other side
there is a decided tendency toward
simplicity so that the woman who
looks well in the smart and simple and
well cut gown may have her chance
to show herself to advantage.
Sharp contrasts in trimmings are
likely to be seen this coming winter
and the desire for the touch of black
is quite in evidence. One of the trim
ming ideas is transparent work in SOU
tache and braids, the material being
cut away to show the dress material,
indeed cut out work is much used.
The jet bandeau is seen frequently
and all jet trimmings seem to have a
good deal of a vogue and with certain
black and white effects are decidedly
smart For instance l saw some very
fetching belts today of fine white silk
decorated with black jet cabochons OF
various sizes, which worn with a white
linen and black jet broach and the
black velvet bracelets already spoken
OF and jet buckles give fine effect.
White pique hats are much in evil
dence and are an economical idea. BY
the way rafia hats are a novelty that
has taken and are light and pretty
when lined and trimmed becomingly.
New skirts are long, with plain
backs and fronts and tucked sides or
plated
Negligees of dotted Swiss over silk
slips of a becoming color are we'll
liked and nothing more dainty could
be found.
Gloves of chamois and fabric are
used extensively and this is a good
time to lay in the new stock.
