- HE woman who possesses one or
n two pretty, washable guimpes
and a few of the easily made
- warehouses which give an eff
feet of harmony and completeness
when the coat of the tailored suit is
removed, is ready for any sartorial
emergency, and may travel with suit
case half round the world. happy in
the consciousness that she is prepared
for any unexpected luncheon, dinner
or theater engagement that may crop
up.
The first requirement of the over
blouse is that it shall match in color
the material of the skirt with which
it is worn. It's material will matter
little, provided in color it carries the
color of the skirt up and suggests a
complete costume. 1t is cut in the
simplest shirtwaist fashion, with a
eck-opening rounded or Vd out to
show the transparent guimpe beneath,
and it may or may not be cut with
sleeves Some of these warehouses
are merely panels that cover the
guimpe only at back and front, the
sleeve of the guimpe and part of its
under-arm portion showing in the
open side of the overblouse. Again,
the overblouse may be a loose, kimono
affair, with long shoulder lines and
very wide armhole finished with trim
ming or piping of some sort, the dainty
sleeve of the guimpe peeping out at
tractively beneath Many overblouses,
also, are cut with sleeves to the ell
bow, or part way to the elbow, and
this is really the most practical style.
The blouse pictured is made in this
way and below the waistline there is
fitted peplum which gives the gar
ment a graceful, basque effect.
The guimpe pictured is of cream
net, and just now by the bye cream
is the color to select in nets and
laces. and not pure white, unless the
costume be an all-white affair of
tailored or lingerie character. A
rather close mesh in cotton net
should be selected and as these nets

the smartness of the blouse worn
over it, for nothing can spoil bodice
cut out at the neck, like a bullying
yoke or chemisette within the open
ing. The woman who has tried to
make herself yokes or chemisettes of
transparent material for wear with
rounded or V'd out bodices, knows
how difficult it is to make such a
neckwear trif1e "set'' satisfactorily,
even with the aid of a multitude of
pins. To keep the lines of collar and
shoulders trim and taut, guimpe
must come below the armhole at
front and back, and even then it is
apt to draw up over the bust in un-
comfortable manner after few mo-
ments of wear. The only satisfac-
tory way is to have the guimpe reach
to the waistline and be held there
with firm belt, or a tape or ribbon
run through a casing. If made of
net some very fine, soft lingerie
fabric, such a guimpe will not add
bulk to the figure and besides being
ready for the taffeta or satin over
blouse worn with the tailored suit of
serge or wool mixture, it may be
donned under dainty bridge or lunch
con blouse of tucked chiffon or
EN- broidered net or marquisette.
The guimpe pictured here is a very
We'll designed model, made OF ecru
net Across the shoulder it fits
smoothly and the fullness is confined
neatly and securely at the waistline.
This guimpe was built for a very
slender figure, and a woman with a
plump, short neck would do better
to dispense with the gathering be-
low the collar in front and run in a
cluster of pin tucks instead. The
puffed sleeve with a pleated friIl at
the edge is smart and new, but If de-
sired, the sleeve may be made straight
and rather wide. the pleating at the
edge being wide or narrow as fancy
dictates. The important considera-
ton in-such a guimpe is the fit around
the neck and shoulders, and the

long wire stem wound with the rib
bon. This triple toadstool, which is
about six inches high, does not grow
up from the hat but rather out from
it, for the stem with it's three pleated
discs sticks out at right angles from
the side of the brim-and there is not
a particle of additional trimming on
the black milan shape. 1t would take
a daring woman to wear this hat,
which is bound to excite comment
wherever it goes.
Many Hats CharIningly Conservative.
But one bizarre hat does not make
a summer; and it is gratifying to note
how many wearable, conservative
types there are among Paris models
this season. Few OF these spring
hats are very large-the small Golf
fures affected now by fashionable
women, prohibit the use of monstrous
hats which are absurd over closely

coifed heads-but the way the deep
crowns settle down over the head
gives a deceptive impression of the
hats. many of the shapes being much
larger than they look.
This is evidenced in the marQuise
hat of tagaI straw by Suzanne Talbot,
which suggests a rather modest toque
shape, but which is in reality a very
large hat with a great quantity Of
this expensive tagal straw in the wide
brim and deep crown. Tagal is the
most costly kind of hemp and is beau
tiful In its hexibility and softness.
Cardinal tagal-the new vivid cardi-
nal shade that is 80 extravagantly
fashionable in Paris now-was used
for this marquise shape and the grace
fully poised feather is in a shade of
indescribably lovely pinkish gray.
Another of these gay cardinal hats
is shown in the walking model which
has a derby shaped crown covered
with cardinal taffeta, the upper part
of the brim also being in the vivid
cardinal color while the under side
is faced with white hemp. Two red
wings trim this very smart walking
hat for Riviera wear. The hat &C
companied a tailored suit of embroid-
cred white linen with a cardinal suede
belt. The Wearer carried cardinal
silk parasol but her boots were snow
white, like her linen suit, and were
made of the smoothly fitting buckskin
with high buttoned tops and dainty
little toes. The very smartest hats
combine straw and taffeta in some
such way; but when the shape is en-
tirely of straw, the straw is apt to
be a very fine p1ilan-if the hat is
intended for ordinary street wear-or
a hemp or tagal If the model is de-
signed fer use with dressy afternoon
or restaurant costumes. Tagal and taft
feta are combined in the beautiful
Georgette hat with shaded plumes.
This graceful model is typical
of Georgettes creations which are
always picturesque and becoming. The
hat pictured is of old gold tagal straw
with a crown of old gold and lilac
changeable taffeta, the silk being
drawn smoothly, and not draped. The
magnificent plumes are in a pale
creamy tan shade with lilac shading
at the heart. To match this restau-
rant hat there is a muff of tan and
lilac chiffon in folds and swathings
of the filmy material; but the hat
only appears in the photograph. At

hat of this sort, lately from Paris,
is displayed in a Fifth avenue shop
this week. The hat, made of dull
blue and gray changeable taffeta, has
a slightly rolling brim faced with three
shirrings of the silk run on finger
thick cords. Within this rolling brim
is an enormous crown made of about
a yard of yard-wide taffeta, the silk
having evidently been pleated length
wise and the ends of the pleats held
fast in the hands while the long pleat-
ed silk strip was simply laid around
the crown, the edges tucked in at the
top and the ends hidden under an
ornament of corded and shirred taf-
feta. In the same window is an
other hat in this dull blue and gray
changeable coloring, a flexible, rolled
back brim encircling a conical crown
covered fatty with the taffeta. Against
the rolled-back brim and this conical
crown, at one side Of the front, are
dozens and dozens of queer little
berry-shaped balls made of silk over
cotton batting. The silk berries are
in the dull blue shade, reddish ma
hogany and slate gray. They are
mashed against the hat, each one be-
ing sewed separately in place and a
few leaves of shirred green velvet
ribbon being added for effect. This
hat is comparatively small but is ex-
ceedingly different" and smart.
Derby Sailors With Stiff Trimmings.
In striking contrast with the soft,
graceful tam shapes, are the uncom-
promisingly stiff derby crowned sail
ors which have trimmings poised di-
rectly in front to give them a digni-
fed military suggestion. If the front
trimming is somewhat hard and So
phisticated in effect, it is also very dig
nifed and is never pert and rakish as
a trimming at the side may be. These
stiff derby-crowned sailors are trim
med with equally stiff cockades made
of pleated grosgrain ribbon, and one
must confess that the effect, if trying
to some faces, is particularly chic on
women who go in for tailored effects
and the perfection of immaculate
grooming. A jaunt through the mill
linery departments leaves one amazed
at the wonderful things that can be
done with ribbon pleatings when
clever brains and fingers get busy.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1912-03-07

fit, the trimmer and smarter will be
the effect of the whole costume.
There is a fancy just now for guimpes
with tall boned collars attached made
of absolutely transparent material, so
that the neck, rising from the top of
the dark oVerblouse, seems at first
glimpse quite bare, except that there
is sparkling brooch or a tiny bow of
black velvet just in front, at the col
lar line. The thinnest cream or pale
ecru net is used for these transparent
guimpes, an extra layer of the net be-
ing added around the armholes as a
stay.
Lingerie guimpes are made of
sheer, soft batiste, and any amount
of Identification in the way of pin
tucking and lace inserts may be added
on the sleeves and around the collar
portion. The lower part of such a
guimpe, however, is very plain and
soft, so that it may be drawn down
into the belt or casing without offer
ing the least bulk beneath the over
blouse,

round, about five inches in diameter.

least ten yards of chiffon of the most
expensive subtle colorings-are re-
quired for one of these summer muffs
which are as light as thistledown and
almost as impalpable in effect.
Another ostrich trimmed hat is the
Maria Guy model of tan straw which
has a new brim, lifted to show the
facing of shirred silk and then
brought down again in dropping eff
feet. Two long plumes in a dull
blue color are arranged at the sides
of this hat. the ends falling at the
back to make a soft frame for the
face and hair.
Small Flowers Are Closely 11assed.
AS yet, there is not much fancy
for large. single flowers In natural eff
feet. Small posies. made of silk.
poised against tall hat crowns. or
masses of flowers crushed together, are
favored by the French milliners. There
are even hats with tam crowns made
entirely of small roses or violets sewed
singly but very close together on hne
net. Two very attractive flower
toques are pictured. The Virot toQue
has a crown of dark blue velvet vio-
let's above a narrow rolled brim of
! blue hemp and at each side OF the
crown are three straight, sharp wings
in vivid cerise color. These wings
give a Mercury-like effect to the close
cap-like hat and the color scheme
which sounds crude here Is really
blended with mastery skill.
The Lewiston hat combines tea rose
buds with lily of the valley sprays.
the hat brim being of rough straw
braid in a faint green color. This
brim is faced with shirred green chif-
fon.
An interesting point about this toque
is the slope of the crown. The line
at the back is almost straight while
the front slopes steeply and gives the
hat an effect of falling over back
ward. The color scheme of delicate
green's. pale tea rose and lily white Is
very charming and spring-hle.

and taupe are very becoming, and just
now the French woman matches her
hair with her veil, the warm brown
tones being very flattering to the skin.
Shadow net veilings have bold scroll
designs on exquisitely fine mesh
grounds, the scroll pattern being out
lined with silk thread. Russian nets
are worn by the women who refuse
to give up these becoming veilings;
but they are not as fashionable as the
shetland and shadow patterns, and

fine thread mesh grounds on which
the dots form squares and barred de-

guimpe need not be an expensive
item of the wardrobe. If the over
blouse is to be of satin taffeta, or any
other material that is non-transpar-
