THF NEW STYLES.

/ shall not flare at the bottom as in
| the old-fashioned plated models, but
must hang closely to the figure. Al
though draperies, panniers and other
effects tending to fulness are shown
in many of the fall and winter models
the skirts are only an inch or two
wider. giving only a slight sugges-
ton of fulness. The pannier is used
but has not been popular.
The long. slender. falling draperies
are the newest things. The dresses
can be made up by combining several
kinds of material. Combinations in
cOlOrs and fabrics are now the mode.
This year an old dress can be worn
again and with new farbric intro
. duced, can rank among the real style
leaders. The girls dancing gowns in
all instances are One-piece. each with
it's individual draping. Fichus in
quaint Old-fashiOned style are used
on many of the garments, ending at
the side with a flower or fat rosette
Rhinestone edge trimmings add a
brilliant touch to an evening gown
of this character.
Vests are a feature shown in a
great many of the new suit coats.
Sharp. cut-a-way effects are conspicu-
ous in the new tailor-mades. Many
of the plain tailored suits are trimmed
with satin bands and folds. The
skirts show the introduction of plaits
in different forms, but not the plaits
that we need to know. The new
plated skirt is the straight. close-fit-
ting skirt The fashionable Robe
spierre collar is worn on the suits
which have the vest effect. and is usu-
ally trimmed with material contrast
ing with the coat. For church and
calling costumes many long velvet
coats will be worn. with cloth under
skirts. The newest coats show Direc-
torres tendencies. A short seal skin
jacket with Directorie collar and re-
veres is quite the smart thing worn
with a plated skirt of "ficelle" satin
cloth, which is slashed to show an
underskirt of sealskin.
The shirtwaist will be worn more
than ever. The dressy chiffon, net
and lace blouses, which have been so
much part of clothes during the last
years. are no longer so much in evil
dence. Silks and the soft satins are
used in the making of shirtwaists for
everyday wear. The very soft, luster-
less materials are likewise used, and
to great extent the are unlined. be- /.
ing made largely on the simple shirt
waist lines. An idea which is sure
to appeal to the woman of limited .
dress means is that contrasting waists /
are in vogue again.
To be strictly in fashion you should
have your gowns and suits made with
long sleeves. The full-length sleeve
is seen on everything that is new and
fashionable, the short sleeve being
used principally for dressy afternoon
and evening gowns. where it still
holds sway. There are many sleeve
ornaments such as buttons. laces and
contrasting materials. Plated frills
sewed on the bottom and extending
1 few inches up the sleeve give the
sleeves a very dignified effect. The
1rOp-kimono sleeve is a new note and
'ffords very becoming shoulder line.
This long, dropping shoulder line
shows what is left of the kimOno and
he change is not an abrupt one, as it
till exists with the fiat shoulder and
he clean line of the arm, which is
llways becoming: but the kimono
leeve pure and simple, except i'm
ew evening dresses. is not often seen.
The big DirectOrie cuffs are worn
m the suits, making the hands look
mail and white.
Both the high and low Roespierre
oiIars are used in every conceivable
fleet. The wide-rolling collars and
he double-frilled fronts are used very
