Bisbee daily review., 1911-04-02

approaching and the fashion shops | are oyerfowing with the most tempt | ing and enchanting displays Of fe l minine hnery for the bonnie Easter i tide. Judging from the gorgeous ex hibitions in the large shops the com ing Easter parade will be a thing to be remembered. A survey of the situation shows that one piece dresses hold the first position among spring fashions. Except for the lingerie frocks. most of them are elaborate garments, suited for evening and dTessy afternoon wear Simpler gowns are seen in serge, panama, satin, crepe. yoile. marquisette, chal lis and foulard These fabrics are capable of every modification, from a simple and inconspicuous walking dress to an elaborate robe for even ing wear
 Black and white combinations are looked upon with favor, and so are blues, in every shade from navy 10 Copenhagen, grays, tans and sot browns, violets and, as novelty. mignonette green Red is little seen except as trimming touches on dark trimmed models, and other bright col ors are used in the same way.
 The distinguishing feature of the conspicuous gowns of the present style are wide collars. draped fichue, incroyable reyers, panel sashes and peasant sleeves in three quarter and elbow length. Vivid shades are, as a whole, favored, but yelled with chiffon to soften them, or revere and collars are covered with lace so that only the edge of the real fahr'e shows
 Skirts Narrow.
 Skirts are still narrow, as in tne suits. though not extremely 90. The average width, it might De said, 's 21k yards They are plain goreG, with bias folds, bands or pleated founces at the bottom edges, or have A short tunic effect finished with kilts to the hem, or are in long tunic style with straight band or pleated fiounce finish, or in double tunic mode, giy ing the appearance of double skirt. The broad, straight panel sash at tached to the shortened waist line, and falling about to the knees, $ quite modish In tailored gowns these panel sashes are of the fabric itself, and are bound with braid. In dressier effects the model is shown 'n ribbon, satin or chiffon.
 In nearly all the new suits the fay ored trimming is braid, especially the wide braid, which sometimes forms the collar, cuffs and reyers and trims the skirt as well. Panels of braid coming down the front and back of the jacket. and continued in the same way on the skirt, are distinctly the thing Narrow braid is also very smart, especially when worked out in ornamental design on the skirt and Tevers. There is mere ly a hint of this, and it is not allowed to become too prominent in the color scheme. Buttons are also very much in evidence, some of them of the same color as either the suit or the trimming. or as both and some c+ them silver or gilt. These latter are very small, quite tiny in fact In general, however the new suits, ex cept the elaborate satin ones, are rather plain, comparatively little trimming of any sort, outside Of braid, being used.
 Handwork Popular.
 Handwnrsz is the dominant note on many of the spring models of bIouses. Voile and marquisette are perhaps the newest forms in which lingerie blouses appear. The cool durability of these open mesh fab rics is e~pealing to the one who is planning 70 outfit for summer wear. Most of the new blouses are of the simplest styles. The I1imono blousa is the pattern most generally used IL is made collariess for those who have pretty throats and the courage of their convictions This same type can be worn with adjustable guimpes
