FADS AND FASHIONS


An inspection of the materials for
spring and summer wear shows that
certain old-time, reliable materials
have returned under new names, parti-
cularly among the rough cloths and
basket weaves. The feature that com
mends itself to many women is the
fact that the weave in these materials
Is so evident that it serves for decora-
tion, and therefore requires very little
other ornamentations. Simple braid
ing designs or buttons are generally
sufficient for the morning dress, while
the square meshes of these coarse IA
brics form excellent backgrounds upon
which designs in ross-stitching, done
with wooden or linen threads, may be
added
The correct present outline is that
of a simple peasant garment, falling
naturally over the shoulders and with
no extra width across at this point.
The waist is not pulled in, but its size
is contributed to in effect, if not in
reality, by the unpadded, ungathered
shoulders and sleeve tops. The cloth
ed figure preserves more nearly the
natural outlines than it has been al
lowed to do for many day. 1t is
comparatively straight up and down,
looking more peasantlike and primi-
tive than fashion usually permits
The girdle belongs at the normal
waistline at present and there is rea-
son to believe that that will remain its
place during the summer season. But
it is impossible to forecast where the
belt will be placed when autumn comes
The girdle may be plain, folded, en-
broidered or clasped with one of the
marvelously wrought metal buckles of
oriental design. The tendency of the
girdle is to widen or to be- pulled to
a greater width in front, after the line
of the Empire. This is the first faint
suggestion of a return to the Empire
outline in woman's apparel, and Poi
ret, the Partisan modiste, is response
BILE for it in his continued adherence
to the Josephine garb.
Everything clings, and the skirt will
The Greenville times., 1910-05-27

not widen out below in its outline, but
has rather taken on a barrel-like ten
dency to widen through the center and
narrow in toward the feet. The deep
hem, varying from nine to eighteen
inches, does duty here, either as a
weight to draw down the skirt into
clinging lines or as a band into which
to gather the center fullness of the
gathered skirt.
Necks, it is needless to say, are left
collarless, and the plated Pierrot
frill, though objected to in many cases
comes to us as a distinctly new Pari-
sian note. This collar fullness is alb
solutely the only fulness on many of
the late Paris blouses, which are made
in one piece, with merely the under
arm seam to shape them, and without
a vestige of ornament except a sleeve
finish and a neck finish in the event
of the abandonment of the futed col
lar.
Bordered foulards and pongees are
sometimes made in double skirt or
crusader tunic effect, the upper skirt
falling below the knees of the one be-
meath. But these crusader tunics are
not now as smart as the g dragged-in'
skirt, which is pleated or gathered at
the knee into a weighted founce or a
straight band of plain material As
for the apron overskirt, which came IN
with a rush early in the spring, its
day is already on the wane and only
on the ready-made and home made eos
tunes does it prevail. If the apron
stvle is worn at all the little knee
length tunic must be heavily weighted,
for anything that futters is extreme
ly unmodish at the present time.
The latest advices from Paris indi-
cate that the size of women's hats IS
slowly but steadily increasing and
there is good reason to believe that
some extremely large hats will be seen
during the latter part of the summer.
Hat materials are of unusual beauty
and variety this season. This is par
ticularly true of the straws and braids.
One may find anything from the coars
est and toughest of straws, which IS
nevertheless of admirable lightness and
lustre, to the finest and supplest of
gauze braids, and all of these in such
wide and beautiful range of color
The Greenville times., 1910-05-27

ing as has never before been equalled.
Two tone or Persian coIoring straws
have been considerably used in Paris
for smart little street hats trimmed
only by a simple ornament, cockade
or fancy feather in black or one of the
tones in the straw. Tagal, Milan,
leghorn, Grim, all the old favorites are
modish, as well as the new fancy
braids and are indeed used for the
handsomest of the season s models.
Leghorn of the finest quality is en-
ormously successful and is used for ev-
cry type of model from the severest
hat. Black lace, usually Chantilly, is
associated with leghorn in many of
the most charming summer hats, veil
ing either crown or brim, put on In
big bow or scarf drapery, facing the
brim, ETC. The white laces on the
order of Chantilly are also much used
with leghorn.
White and black, with or without
note of color, is even more insistent
than the popular leghorn among the
spring and summer models. The rough
light white straws and white crins are
in great demand and black velvet or
black satin is the usual trimming, with
big black and white pompons or fancy
feathers in black.
Good looking tailor hats of a popu-
lar shape are of rough white straw
The crown is covered with black satin.
The wide white brim rolls up a little
to the left of the front and is held
by a square button or mould covered
by the black satin which in turn holds
small ornament or cockade of black
feathers. These little feather trim
mings, hardly more than a tuft, are
novelty of the season an there are all
sorts of feather tufts or heads from
which spring long slim feathers or
quilts. The pheasant is prime fav-
orite for such ornaments because of its
beautiful coloring and very often such
slender Pheasant-'f fancy as the
modish feather ornaments are called,
is the only trimming on one of the
severe hats with front or side roll.
Black and white is also a favorite
combination for the big roll brim sail
or which earlier introduced and which
bids fair to have great popularity. 1t

pale green leaves they occur on tur-
bans in fascinating cabochons. Tiny
roses, forget-me-nots, violets, tiny corn
flowers and fine mignonette are also
used on many models.
Lace wells dyed to match the color
of the hats with which they are worn
are the latest. They are not pinned
in, however, but hang down straight
from the brim.
Shoes have fancy buckles of some
kind and are worn with gaily colored
stockings, either plain or embroidered
The Greenville times., 1910-05-27

is perhaps not so generally becoming
as the old time straig ght-brim sailor,
but this is because it is worn so low
on the head and the hat itself is of
more graceful lines than is the straight
brim model. The brim is wide enough
to shade the face if worn fairly well
forward, although toward its edge it
rolls upward for about three inches.
All kinds of straw are used for this
sailor but some Of the prettiest are in
a very flexible though rough white
straw. with wide black velvet ribbon
folded around the crown and three of
the large feather pompons, two black
and one white, posed at the left front,
quite high against the crown.
Flowers are extensively used on all
kinds of summer hats and, as a rule,
the larger the hat, the smaller the
flowers used for trimming. Lilies of
the valley are extremely popular. They
are used in punches on large fiat hats
in which the white tone predominates
Then, again, the lilies are fashioned
into an entire crown on large lace or
straw shapes. When combined with

COMET BRILLIANT

Unusually brilliant, Halley's
comet, which laymen believed had
disappeared, was seen by many
people last night. The tail of the
celestial wanderer stretched half
way across the sky, a great wide
band Of white.
1t was observed soon after twi-
light and was visible until 1t set
after midnight. Many expressed
the opinion that the comet was
brighter and the tail more distinct
than on May 20 when he eclipse

The Girls cheeks tinged glori-
