CLOTHES OF OUR
GRANDMOTHERS.
Fashion Reverting to Styles
Worn Many Years Ago
Petticoats Not in Favor

stomacher with gold lace, which also
forms the sleeves, which are tied al
the elbow with little fluffs Of tnt
violet rose mousseline that is pull-d
through the lace at irregular intervals
The glrdle Is of the gold lace lind
with a shirred piece OF the violet
mousseline.

dull gold mounted on a circlet OF se
Quine arranged In fowerlike design.
H,ep Skirts and Poke Honnets.
by fall we will quito have regained
our grandmother's hoop skirts and
poke bonnets II the present craze for
old fashioned clothes prevails through
out the summer, as nearly all other
styles have been utilized, the hoop
having been spared only by right OF
Its extreme girth. t
Puffs, cordings, quillings, and stiM !.
little bows are being used on every
thing. Even broad sashes such as
were worn in war times, and mitts Of
net edged with lace differing from the
mitts of our childhood by the addi-
| tion of thumb which make them
much prettier. These are SO much
more comfortable and soil less quick
| ly than gloves that they are sure to
| find favor.
Another very clever contrivance for
changing the appearance OF a gown
is simply made tunic Of chiffon OF
a neutral tone that will look well with
a number OF gowns. A brocaded sat.
in, a blue pink, grey, yellow or mauve
robe would be very handsome yelled In
black, complete change being given
| by the garniture used. II over q bro
cade gown no accessories are needed
save cluster Of flowers or chou,
| the colorlng and the design of the
brocade commanding all the attention,
! the overdress passes quite unnoticed.
For another gown of plain color a
band Of Egyptian embroidery could
be lightly tackled just above the hem
on the wrong side of the chiffon, the
gold and silver thread of the embrolc-
cry looking very handsome through
the chiffon. The same treatment Is
given the bodice.
Still another change may bo
wrought by using girdle, scarf ana
chou Of ribbon or liberty s1tin tho
color OF the gown over which 1t IL
worn. If girdle with long scarf
ends is chosen they might be knotted
with black jet buckles. -
| pe!tlcoats Not Popular.
Petrieoats are very little worn, and
II st ail made of very soft silk or satin
with either very fiat rufIiee of four
inches applied to lower edge and
about knee depth or else inch wide
cuttings put on in rows Of two, five
or seven.
They are cut to ht absolutely
smooth about the hips, neither q
| gather nor pleat across the back.
| The three piece model slightly gored
has most satisfactory lines hanging
smooth and straight from hip to hem.
For summer pettlcoats nothing Is
smarter or more desirable ON account
of light weight and general airiness
tiiuh hhC lCAtn tlcdlu COlOltQ lub-
hair OF soft texture f,shed with a
founce or ecru point desprit or brue-
sells net which is daintily trimmed
j with fiat ruchings of the net edged
with lace. They launder easily, re-
quiring no starch o. ironing. These
are exceedingly dainty and dressy In
appearance and the mohair is Opaque
enough to be worn under muslin
gowns with no other petticoat under
meath. Another excellent feature Is
that 1t will not russ or wrinkle, look
J ing always fresh In spite of being
J packed in bags and trunks. Damp air
does not affect the ruffle or the skirt
and so 1t is great saving of laundry
, bills. Where ordinarily one would
send muslin petticoat merely be-
J cause 1t was mussed from one wear
ing in the sea air, one can now do
away entirely with them, save for
} more dressy frocks.
