everything has been done on the shirt
waist that the ingenuity of woman
could devise, they have turned to the
Indian and borrowed his beads where
with to bead actually bead the yoke
of their washable voile OF canvas shirt
waists, or over-blouse of chiffon; just
plain little white china beads, follow
ing a stamped design around the
Dutch neck. But for color, they must
turn TO Bulgarian embroidery and one
sees most interesting motifs wrought
i'm the primitive colors set off with an
outline Of black, all i'm heavy wash
silks. "They come high" in the
shops, but the embroidery counters
all carry them read to work.
Color? Again the tickle public is
veering off on another track, and this
time it is Coronation yellow, a royal
color, combined with sapphire blue.
One sees it even in the headache
bands" as the cynics call the pretty
classic ribands around milady's coif-
fure.
When the modistes planned these
Fmpire and Princess clothes with
their glove-ftting skirts, they surely
forgot all about trains, and when 1t
came time for brides, she had to hang
her train from the shoulders in truly
court-fashion And the 1911 brides
have the cutest way of making the
wells into little mob caps caught all
around with orange blossoms. Alas
for the poor bridesmaids train; hers
was only a little fish tail drapery
hanging loose from her waist but she
was satisfied to know it was imported
bv Fifth avenue house. Those i'm
ported gowns have a very freakish air,
produced by building the two sides OF
the waist differently. It is evidently
done in the thought that few people
can copy it, but any woman handy
wi h a needle with an up-to-date pat
tern can do wonders in this respect.
In the first illustration is presented
costume sure to please because of
its becaming lines and varied making
possibilities. The waist was body
and sleeve in one model. The skirt
had five cores heightened by gath
cred founce, which had a straight
lower edge. The development of this
costume was of white batiste trimmed
: with allover and insertion. This
could be also fashioned of bordered
materials, linens or lightweight
Woolens.
One Of the most satisfying things
about present day fashions, shown In
the second illustration, is to know
they are not too complicated for
amateur development. Pale-pink chif-
fon was used The sleeves were
sewed in the regulation manner, but
the peasant blouse style is simulated
with use of the yoke extending down
the sleeves. The skirt was seven
gored, tucked section heightened by
a straight founce. Fine lawns
batiste, handkerchief linen, voile ol
soft silks would be quite suitable fol
this design.
From her seven-year chest she viii

Satin will drape the other shoulder
and she will come upon just the very
garniture in irridescent passemen-

ago to await this very hour! Every
wise girl has a seven-year chest in
which she neatly lays away scraps OF
beautiful brOcade, embroidery, lace
