SHOULDER STRAP COMES BACK
Modistes Return to Style Of Few
Years Ago, Which Has Much
to Recommend II.

You remember the jumper dress
that women liked a few years ago?
1t was virtually a skirt; a wide girdle
and shoulder straps, and was worn
over blouse of washable fabric. Well,
1t Is here again in a charming re-
vival Of style, having profited by it's
respite, according to the New York
Press.
Modistes have launched a few mod
els of the dress that has braces" or
euspenders, and it bids fair to be one
of the features that spell practical
beauty. From comparatively small
piece Of material and variety OF
separate chiffon, net or washable
blouses, this hew ofavorite will assure

ing that this idea has been seized by
designers as a welcome change for
the perennial favorite. These extern
sions are generally of the same ma
terial as the girdle and act as con-

Buttons are used as trimming on
these shoulder straps with great ef-
feet. They afford excellent back
ground for continuing any decorative

to the summit Of the Dent du Midi,

NEW MATERIAL FOR NEGLlGE6
Madras Curtains Make Up Into tho

II you are needing a new negligee

favorite shop, but go to your house
furnishing merchant He will have
precisely what you need-a pair OF
extra curtains in madras-that he'll!
sell for a song. If they are of white
or cream or black, large-hgured in
pale blue, light green or vivid cerise,
so much the better for you. They'll
make up into a stunning negligee OF
the sort that cut in two pieces, and
slipping on over the head, buttons
from throat, to shoulder tops and half
way down the outer side Of the XII
mono sleeves, with oriental beads of
huge size and lurid tone enhanced
with f1ecks of gold. About the throat
and the edges of the sleeves place
heavy cordings in silk matching the
color of the figure on the madras,
but use no further trimming. The
material trims itself. A negligee tn
this design is unquestionably modest.
It falls straight from the shoulders
to the toes, does not cling to the fig
ure and may be flung on in second

Winter flats.

Most picturesque and becoming are
the new plush and velour hats for the
autumn and early winter which are
now being shown in the smart shops.
The hats are in small. medium and
large shapes, quite soft, so that they
can be rolled and crushed to SUIT the
face of the individual wearer. There
are small hats with high round
crowns, folded in around the top.
Two-toned velour hats are among the
newest models and there is an frfd-
escent blue and black plush hat which
is most striking and becoming to the
average woman. A large sombrero OF
green velour with a facing of black
velvet is trimmed with black leath-
er belt, dull leather with gilt buckle.
The shape is extremely smart. A
rather high-crowned narrow brimmed
hat of two-toned iridescent plush Is
in blue and black. The hat has a
crown of shot silk and is trimmed
with two made plumes of the plush. A
small black plush hat, extremely dash
ing in effect, has white satin band
inside the brim and three fancy black
feathers at one side.
