Smart Styles in Suits
ana GoWnS for Spring

combination Of ideas adopted from so
many sources that it is impossible to
lay ones finger on any dominant char
acteristic suggestive of other times and
peoples. So it is possible that we are
in the midst of an epoch all our own
in dress, which, who knows, may some
time be referred to as that Of the Aero
Age, perhaps.
If we hear little about style we hear
4 great deal about the silhouette. The
shadow we cast, these days, is more
important than the costume that casts
1t. That is to say. it is the lines of a
garment that determine it's fashionable
ness, and these lines must be narrow,
straight, slender. close. In the suits
this is produced by making straight
seams from the shoulder to the bottom
of the coat without defining the waist
line. This is accentuated further by
the narrow cut of the shoulders and
the snug fitting hips, which hug the
skirt SO closely as to seem a part of
1t. The skirts. though the tight band
ing about the bottom has been entire
ly abandoned, are very narrow and
straight measuring not more than 214
yards about the bottom.
The short coat is the thing. By
stealthy inches the tailors have been
shipping off our coat tails, until not a
particle longer than &c inches may we
wear our suit coats and consider our
selves in style. In the dressy suits the
also shown. and the Elton jacket, if
not actually arrived en- masse, is Ger
tainly on it's way, as numerous models
in the high priced costumes prove It
is a natural sequence of the short
wasted gowns and the high wasted
skirts.
In fit, the new Jackets are a marvel
for the way in which they reveal the
form without exactly following the
curves. The snug hip and bust, and
the narrow shoulder, with only the
complishments of this result in these
seven-eighths fitting garments. Some
times the waist line is made quite a
bit higher than usual, either by means
of the cut itself, or through some sort
of trimming. The full length coat
sleeves are used exclusively on the
tailored models, mounted with a plain
head. In the more dressy styles of
the three-piece costume the kimona
sleeve cut in one with the body of the
coat is most frequently used.
Every possible variety of the sailor
collar is to be found on the smart
street suits. This form of collar is
particularly adapted to the narrow
styles that prevail, giving a certain ex-
preston and balance to the figure that
it would otherwise lack. Showing the
prevalence of the new point motif that
is noticeable in all the latest designs
in the back, and sometimes couple
of points in front. Other new forms
are shallow at the back, broad at the
shoulder points, and taper sharply up

are trimmed in a manner to suggest the
bolero, which is gaining so rapidly. in
favor again. On the dreSsy gowns fringe
is sometimes used to finish the edge of
the trimming, while the simple models
hand embroidery and bead work are used
to supplement the bolero of lace insertion.
A novel feature of few of the latest
lingerie gowns is the use of the black
tunic of cotton net, or the Introduction
of several rows of black lace into the
skirt. A striking gown of embroidery and
val lace had two rows of black chantilly
about four inches wide set in about
net covering the lower part of the waist
and the upper part of the skirt was edged
with tiny black balls. and a black satin
belt completed the chic effect.
Another gown in which this idea was
charmingly used was of white lace over
pink slip. A wide flounce of black net
onto which was applied a band of jap
anese embroidery, in white, fell from be-
meath the overdreSs of lace which thus
simulated a tunic. The edge of this was
also trimmed with the ball fringe, in
white.
A touch of color is seen on most of
these lingerie models, with a very appa:
ent preference for the bit of black Much
ingenuity is exercised in catering to this
foible of fashion, and delightfully."- unique
is the result many times. Just the right
character was given to a baby Irish lace
bon caught beneath the scallopS of the
last row of lace about the bottom of the
skirt, and the ribbon of narrower
width laced through slides at the waist

Presumably in his prose addresses
Lincoln did not consciously cast any
part of them into metrical form, yet
ever and again in the addresses the
careful observer will discover whole
lines, perhaps a succession of lines, in
the iambic pentameter fcrm-like the
blank verse of Shakespeare and Mil
ton. Take for example, these lines
from the Gettysburg address:
That from these honored dead we take
increased
Devotion to that cause for which they
gave
The last full measure of devotion
that . y
Here are three complete lines as
fawless as if consciously and inten-
tionally cast into the iambic pentamet-
er form. When he wrote the
Gettysburg address, Lincoln was plainly
in highly exalted and poetical mood
for the language used clearly reflects
are the metrical forms in his prose
and highly contributory as they are in
giving 1t a poetical quality, they never
theleSS do not contribute its whole, nor
perhaps, even its chief poetical charm.
That charm, of course, lies in the deep
poetical feeling back of both form and
words, the result of which is a peetical
quality in his expression even when
that expression shapes itself into I'M
metrical prose. Because of this po-
etical feeling in his prose long sec
tons of some of his addresses may be
read as poems.-James r. Parry in
the North American Review.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-04-01

since some of the new collars which
are wide in the back and narrow to-
ward the front seem to require this
treatment, but it is doubtful if it will
pc general until the fall days make
the higher closing seem desirable.
The skirts clear the ground by at
least three inches, and are shown in a
variety of conceptions, all, however,
maintaining carefully the straight mar
row lines. A neat blue serge suit,
with a jacket having a black satin sail
or collar and satin cuffs, had the skirt
made with only one seam and cut
scantily circular. This seam at the
back was covered with a straight over
hanging panel. Other suit skirts are
shown with two broad separate panels,
one in the back and one in the front,
which cross each other at the sides in
pointed effect. The skirt to which
these are fatty stitched is, of course,
of narrow cut. The pointed yoke prom
ises to be prominent feature of the
midsummer skirts.
Serge is again this season the ia
vored fabric for the tailored costume,
in either the fine French twill or her
ringbone effects. Checked and striped
worsteds are also greatly in demand,
suitings and rough effects in Scotch
mixtures. Satin, in black or blue,
amounts almost to a craze in its use
for the dressier suits. MORE is also
gaining favor. One stunning model IN
black MORE was made in the new
blouse effect with a slightly raised
belt and tight-fitting peplum. The
trimming consisted of heavy silk frogs
and large Irish lace sailor collar.
Blue is obliged to share honors with
black and white combinations for first
place in the spring color curriculum.
Black and white checks and stripes are
very prominent and are oftenest seen
with a touch of color introduced into
tie collar of the suit, or into the trim
ming of the waist when the lighter weight
black and white fabric is used for a frock-
Cerise is especially striking when used in
of black broadcloth or satin for the wide
collars, cuffs, pocket flaps, and buttons
outlining the side panels of the skirt, on
these black and white suits. Navy blue
desirable shades in the heavier suitings
leaf green violet and silver grey.
Although the tailored and semi tailored
suits will be worn to a greater extent
than ever before this spring, the long
coat is bound to be in demand for wear
with the summer silks and lingerie gowns.
The full length coat fashioned in the
straight line effects, made up in serges for
the utility garment and in silk or satin
lead, although before the end of the sea-
son it is expected that the tendency to
shorten the suit coats will make itself
felt in the odd coats also. Particularly
clever are the white serge coats, with
the black hairline stripe One of these cut
with the popular raglan sleeve and having
a broad belt high across the back to give
a certain Empire effect, had a large, black
with large metal buttons on the cuffs
and collar.
For early spring wear there is nothing

These are being shown made up with
band trimmings of plain satin, or more
deliberately yelled with marquisettes or
voiles. The new features of the simpler
frocks may be summed up as, the short
ened waist line, long shoulder effects
acquired by collars, fichus, or the clever
application of trimmings, and the use of
the long or short tunic in many new
forms.
The surplice and the fichu style for the
waists is carried out in every sort of
gown, from the plain linen or embroidered
one of the yelled evening gown. The point
of crossing, in either case, is arranged
well toward the belt, which allows an op-
portunity for considerable elaboration in
front trimming. Trimming bands are be-
ing applied in various pointed effects,
since the point is the keynote of all trim
ming motifs this season.
