Gold as Trimming.

Gold IL being introduced q good deal
into evening gowns and wraps. Gold It's
sue trimmings are not only a feature Of
trains. but are used for scarves and for
under-dresses with good effect. The pos
sibilities Of gold as trimming are illim-
table, but 1t has never been better en-
pioyed than on an evening dress in that
indescribable shade Of Indian red. almost
pink In tone, with a hem of deeper shade
tapering of into q pointed train.
The material was embroidered in dull
gold, covered with short mole-colored
net tunic, and 1t had gold lace and kin,l
of dull furnished silver trimming. which
all combined to give it a look of distinc-
ton and style; and yet 1t was simple
frock, and a frock one longed to wear
There was magic in that frock. 1t was
dress which could never be copied. and
whose designer was an artist.
Some charming color effects are possible
from the silk poplin, which has a rather
dull surface, and the oriental combination
of q rich-toned red with Chinese blue Is
most effective. One pretty house frock
was in blue. with red hem. and red on
its high-waisted bodice, which was fin
ished with oriental embroidery.
The feather wrap is always the herald
of spring. and the windows lately dedicat-
ed to furs are now given up to feathers
short stoles, many of them. but made of
long curling feathers, and ending with
ribbon bows or tassels to match. They
are In every shade, besides black and
white, in marabou, ostrich and coQue.
The long stoles are wound around the
neck crossed at the back, and held in
place under the arms. Some Of the wider
shoulder wraps, made of chiffon and silk,
are edged with feathers.

The Long Sleeve.

Unless we are up in arms-literally-
against it the threatened long sleeve will
be un fait accompli during the summer,
of all seasons. when we look for cool
ness and comfort. Nothing can so sue
cessfully and completely make US hot
and uncomfortable as long sleeves worn
on a broiling day. The best that can be
said for them is that they are a protec-
ton from hot weather insects. and that
stout women should be glad that they are
fashionable. for they help to make the
too generously padded arm less obtrus-
i've.
On the other hand, the long sleeve
easily becomes dowdy unless it fits close
ly, with little buttons down the back and
a ruffie Of lace at the wrists. The novelty
sleeve is the renaissane. the upper part
of which slopes over the shoulders. XII
mono fashion. while the lower is set In
with a visible seam round the arm. This
is one OF the styles to be tabooed by the
stout.
Many Magyar sleeves are still seen
Coat sleeves are still Of the orthodox
form. but with a slight tendency to widen
at the wrist.

Latest American Fashions

faced piece at that, ana. though roomy
enough to be practical is shapely and
graceful. The fronts are slashed into
tabs, one slipping under the other, to be
fastened invisibly with hooks.
The square collar that curves to the
line OF the shoulders is of the serge,
while the straight cuffs are decorated
with buttons and loops. The fine line
border OF the serge is discreetly used in
the cuffs and border. The new loosely
woven materials, especially wool crash
and worsted rajah. figure extensively in
these separate coats. They all come in
beautiful warm shades of reds, browns
and green's, and in spite Of the roughness
easily as they catch every passing par
ticle. They are usually made up with a
heavier material like broadcloth or ratine
for trimmings. or at least for collar and
and wine color; q chamois shade with
mahogany or Burgundy; certain shades Of
blue with dark brownish greens; seal
brown with the more vivid tones of green,
and cream or white with any color with
which 1t may be desired to combine It.
Shepherd checks and plaids are quite
as much to be considered as ever, for
they. like the navy serge, never actually
go out Of style. but this year they are
very dependent upon cut and trimming
schemes for success. number OF mod
els trimmed with black buttons trimmed
with white were set afioat early In the
season, but were SO widely copied that
already they have become common. Dull
old-blue cloth, Burgundy, tan or leath-
err shade makes a satisfactory combina-
ton for collar and cuffs with the black
and white, but yellow white is also
much affected.
One sees many collarless coats, but
there is usually some sort of scarf or
cape, or else there are long revers that
start just below the shoulders to terni-
nate anywhere below the waist line.
A model that, like the one OF the
sketch. is suitable for motoring or street
wear is of black and white notified
worsted with a single broad rever of
plain black boucle and white enamel but
tons with black loops. There are no
cuffs, but the sleeves are turned up on
the right side for two inches. with three
OF the buttons ranged horizontally on
the band thus formed.
Many taffeta coats are seen in the
shops, but heavy satin is still much liked.
not only because of its wearing qualities,
but because 1t is much more apt to be
becoming. Taffeta is not the most youth
full material we have. by any. means, nor
does the separate coat tend to take off
any years from ones appearance, hence
the choice is frequently voted to satin
where otherwise taffeta, IL only because
1t is a novelty this season. would be Sc
lected.

Smart Neck Bows.

1t ID far better to buy one or two
smart neck bows and buckles than to
try to make them and turn out an ar
tcle which Is palpably homemade. The
trouble with the average woman's neck
wear Is that she does not choose It for
pretty in the shop window.
Certainly with a little taste and judy
ment applied to ones buying there is
no need OF having inappropriate or un-
becoming things.

SARTORIAL HINTS.
nv E1Sza hath Y.aA

It is, OF course. far easier matter
to dress a very thin woman successfully
than 1t is to gown attractively the stout
woman
STILL the thin woman has trials in mat
tiers sartorial, too. and this is especially
50 when she is also quite short.
Undoubtedly the most difficult type to
dress successfully is the short, stout
woman. but the very thin short woman
ranks next. for she requires no end OF
careful dressing If she would be referred
to other than "as that inSgnificant-look-
ing little thing"
Neither is it all plain sailing for the
very tall, thin girl, especially she Of the
f1at-chested. STOPPING shoulder type, un-
less she knows exactly how to make a
choice. IL she does then this is indeed
'her" day, for she can wear the pan
niers, the ruffles ruchingS taffeta blouse
coats or suits and look her very best In
them. The pompadour effects, bordered
voiles, Powered organizes. are all for her.
and not only becoming, but also strictly
de mode.
Stripes she can wear, no matter what
the width. if she will arrange them hori-
zontally or cut them up to run In diff
ferent directions.
rately braided will suggest a plumpness
hardly believable until the test has been
made by wearing the same coat un-
braided.
The smart little short loose coat and
the basque styles offer a splendid field
for this decoration. Materials having
rough surfaces will have the same effect
as braiding. and so should always be
chosen in preference to smooth fabrics
whenever practicable.
tall. thin girl, and since they are fash
ionable this type should use them on all
her gowns, from neglige to a ball dress.
Huge reverS as finish to a coat may
be worn, also patch pockets decorated
with immense buttons. Taking the short.
thin girl. it is not only necessary to
give her breadth, but height must be
suggested as well. AS means to this
end her skirts should be as long as
comfort and fashion Seldom synonymous
terms) will allow, and all trimming must
be arranged vertically.
The one-piece dress is the best possible
choice. If it is desired to wear a belt,
then 1t must be of the same color as
deep back and front, but 1t may run
out as far as the sleeves and possibly
drop over.
The short thin girl Is fortunate il she
happens to be short-waisted. because
she can wear empire modes, with long,
straight skirt, short baby waists and
puff sleeves most successfully. She Will
appear to be both taller and stouteT
than she really is in frock on this or
der.
Her hats should be only of medium
size. The sailor shape. with fairly high
crown or trimming, liz a good example
of the millinery becoming to this type OF
woman. The width Of the brim should
be just sufficiently wide to suggest
breadth. and the trimming just as high
as considered necessary to preserve the
height.
Colors. too, call for discretion in choice
Black and very dark shades should be
avoided, but the thin girl can wear white
cream, yellow, blue. pink. mauve, old
rose. pale olive, putty color. fanws. gold
