CHANGING STYLES.
Pointers to the Women on What to
Wear and How to Wear Il.


There is a simplicity about certain
gowns of the handsomest kind that
might easily deceive an amateur as
to their real elegance. 1t is probable
that in the history of dress, there new
er was a time when the fashionable
gown was so difficult to achieve as now.
Lines are what it demands and to get
| lines more than a mere mechanic of
needle and shears is needed. 1t is the
dressmakers part to so adapt the
fashion as to suit her various clients
DEFICIENCIES and to bring out the best in
each, concealing the worst. When n
multitude of trimmings is employed
and there are ample draperies with
deep folds, this is comparatively easy
The Empire styles are tingeing all
evening gowns. The waistband has
risen again and is evidently here to
stay all season.
Beaded and spangled robes ready to
put over satin foundations, have come
in with an unusual display of shapes
and effects. They are all straight and
scant and draped over the models
have a Greek simplicity whihc dress
makers will not spoil by over treat
ment with trimming. White beads
over black satin or net is one of the
present fads and jeweled effects in
barbaric colorngs with large Opaque
IL, ;c 70 Tot oil
gold are as popular as ever. Fish
scale spangled robes are also among
the rich models in the new displays.
One sees very few dresses with
trains, although a few are seen, with
what is called an adjustable train.
This can be added or removed at will.
The majority of frocks are merely
round on the floor, due to the contin-
ued narrowness of the skirt bottom.
Some of the most stunning coats are
of brown velvet, trimmed with an enOr-
nous collar and cuffs of fur Coat
sleeves are small and so tight at the
wrist that they are buttoned after the
arm is slipped through. The fashion
of fastening coat sleeves is by link but
tons, such as are used in mans shirt.
They are not of gold or silver but
made to match the buttons used in
front.
When the tight sleeve suddenly came
in after a season of full sleeves, most
women thought it was a whim and
would spend it's force in a short while,
but it remains with us, as a dominant
fashion. 1t is strongly in evidence this
season.
There is no reversal of the verdict
concerning the colored blouse to match
the suit, when the costume is worn for
any thing important With the rough
tweed or cheviot suit a white blouse
is worn, but with all other suits one sees
the blouses in color, in voile, crepe and
chiffon cloth. They have none of the
snug, tight look of other days, because
they are cut on peasant lines, with
what is known as the Magyar sleeve,
which would keep any blouse from
looking stiff and set.
There is no boned lining in blouses,
as well as in most gowns and the lining
is of vole or chiffon, so you can i'm
agine how loose and Eastern they are.
The blouses gotten up with the
Oriental or Indian coloring on neu-
trail surface such as taupe marine
blue, brown, or cloud gray are very ef-
fective. The embroidery is put around
the neck and at the hem Of the tight
sleeve. 1t is not put down the shoulder
line and the top of the arm in the be-
coming way of last winter, and is not
used in the lengthwise form at all. 1t
is massed over the bust in a point or
panel and narrows to a band around
the neck line.
The neck line is more or less high,
according to inclination. The Amer
leans and English will still wear the
flat or plated collar, but the French
are wearing the high boned affair. To
those to whom the stiff linen collar is
uncomfortable or unhecoming, it will
he good news to know the soft stocks
which were so fashionable a few sea-
sons ago are again being worn.
The fad for using rubber or wooden
beads and i'm fact beads of any kind,
increases rather than diminishes. Such
work gives the Indian effect, which is
so popular at present.
Spanish lace i'm gold thread is one Of
the new evening materials. 1t is being
made up into robes over satin, hats
and even caps, for the cOiffure, and is
being introduced in trimmings.
Changeable silk is much employed
for afternoon dresses. They are so
| light and billowy in effect, that one
would declare they were only intended
| for summer wear.
Pastel dyes compose all the evening
and afternoon clothes. That is to say,
| that all dyes are changeable, but at the
same time each shade of coloring is
pastel.
Mufs will be very large and usually
oblong. They are made along volumi-
nous lines, so they can serve as pro-
| lection for the throat against chilly
blasts. when a stole is not used.
The veiled effects which are so pop
ular have extended to the yelling of
