from the standpoint Of home use as
well as with Che thought Of the southern
wardrobe. Wherever one turns, sum-
mer fabrics are shown and summer
gowns are seen. Ordinarily at this
season, they are appealing only for
the future, but today the gowns of
wolfe and crepe, the dainty creations
of embroidered net and all the pretty.
summary costumes seem quite well
suited to the sunshiny weather.
As was stated last week, materials
in themselves are ravishing. Many
of them are indeed so elaborate in
their borders and in their embroidered
designs that only the simplest styles
could be suited to their making;
consequently, there are a great many
gowns shown that are self trimmed
and a great many skirts and blouses
requiring almost no labor for their
making are exploited. That we are
TO have the dropping or long shoulder
line has been an established fact for
some time, but women who admire the
grace of the kimono sleeves will be
glad to know that great many sum-
mer gowns will be made that way.
In some instances, the long sleeves
will be joined to the bodice portion
well below the shoulders but there
are great many costumes that show

dency toward long skirts for afternoon
as we'll as evening wear and round
lengths and short trains are much
seen, but both skirts and sleeves allow
considerable opportunity for indi-
vidual preference. Skirts of walking
length, or those that just clear the
ground, are liked by great many
women and are quite correct for after
noon functions as well as for dances.
While it is true that long sleeves make
feature of the season, those of three
quarter and elbow length are smart
and lace frills make pretty finish for
all lengths. One of the innovations
of the season is the combination Of
long sleeves with the round neck and
a great many gowns are made in this
way. .... .... ..-
Coats and--wraps are fascinating.
They are made of the richest, most
beautiful materials, and the draperies
take folds that greatly enhance the
effect thereof but they are essentially
simple, nevertheless. The kimono
sleeve and the one with the long
shoulder line are favorites ard desirable
ones, for they can be slipped on over
a gown without rumpling it in the
least The coats include very few
seams while they are drawn up at the
front to provide fashionable folds and

draperies The one illustrated makes
an excellent example. In one view, it
is shown made Of brocaded silk with
fur trimming and, in the back view.
it is made of narrowly striped velvet
with lace and fur banding.
For girls and children, the daintiest,
thinnest materials are the preferred
ones and chiffon, crepe de chine, mar
quisette and. the like are favorites
with pretty little flowers as trimming
and to hold the draperies. Accordion
plating is being much used, too, and
a great many gowns for grown folk
as we'll as dresses for the little ones
are made therefrom. The fashion is
always a pretty one, for the plating
is essentially graceful and attractive
and the thin materials that are being
used this season are peculiarly well
adapted to the treatment. The little
dress illustrated is designed for girls
Of fourteen years of age and under but
accordion plating can be put to a
great many desirable uses.
FASHION NOTES OF INTEREST.
New York, January, 1913.
WYE are having such excep-
w tionally mild weather for the
season here in New York that
summer costumes seem really inviting

the genuine kimono model and it i;
so pretty and so generally becoming
that We must all be glad Of the fact.
When the long sleeves arc plain and
joined to the bodice portion, the
effect is much the same as if all were
in one save that the joining allows
the use of dainty trimming and some
times Of shaped outline. Already
We are wearing long sleeves with low
necks for the dinner hour and it is
probable that long sleeves with round
necks will make a somewhat i'm
portant feature Of summer fashions
Some of the sleeves are quite close
fitting below the elbows and are
finished with frills over the hands:
others again are gathered into cuffs
or bands; and there is almost limit
less variety in the treatment at the
point of joining. All the disturbances
that have been occupying the Euro
pean world for the past few months
have had a marked influence upon
incoming fashions. Bulgarian colors
appear in a great many Of the en-
broidered effects. The simple, some
what crude use Of bright tones that
is familiar in semi-oriental countries
appears and the belted, or Russian,
costume will be pronounced favorite.
1t will be worn made Of linen and
similar materials for the street and it
will be worn made Of wolfe, crepe and all
the dainty fabrics for indoor occa-
sions. In some instances, the blouse
is genuine one drawn in at the waist
line by means Of belt, but often
the effect is obtained by the use of
deep peplum or short tunic and, in
these latter, are found many posi-
bilities for the use Of bordered ma
terials. Pronounced BORDERS. those
that give a wide striped effect or any
very distinctive design Of the kind,
do not lend themselves to the double
skirt with marked success but among
borders are to be found delicate and
dainty embroideries. the most fasci-
mating bits of color and treatments Of
many kinds that are well adapted to
the kimono idea. Some Of the hand
soonest toilettes that are exploited
in readiness for the southern exit are
absolutely simple so far as cut is
concerned. A beautiful gown, for
example. is of white wolfe richly
embroidered in white and the border
appears like a succession Of narrow
pyramids The skirt is q perfectly

N HID-WINTER is sure to mean
V variety of functions and
both the grown-ups and the
younger contingent will need attract
i've costumes for afternoon as well as
the more elaborate ones for evening
wear. This season, silk may fairly
be said to be pre-eminently the fash
ionable material, for it is shown in an
infinite variety of weaves and of
colors and some sort can be found to
suit almost every need. Fur and
lace make the accepted trimmings and
they harmonic with the beautiful
silks TO perfection. bringing about the
loveliest possible results. Brocaded
and Powered effects are in the very
height of style for the more elaborate
toilettes and there are great many
voiles, marquisettes and the like
shown with brocaded or broche figures
that arc exceedingly beautiful and
attractive in an altogether dainty and
fairy-ike fashion.
Draped effects both in gowns and
in coats are conspicuous but, while
skirts frequently are drsped, they are
not in any sense voluminous, retaining
the narrow effect a, the ankles and
over the hips, such fullness as is
SLOWED being placed between these
TWO points. There is a general ten

plain, straight one gathered at the
upper edge. The blouse is in kmono
style and is made with the lower edge
Of the border turned up toward the
neck and, below the belt. there is a
straight tunic of the border. 1t is
very handsome. The effect is almost
that of an all-over embroidered gown
yet the effect has been produced by
the simplest possible means. Straight
skirts that are laid in narrow plaits are
scen, too, and skirts that are tucked
at their upper edges for bordered
materials are shown in interesting and
fascinating variety and designers must
needs use them to get the best results
Straight skirts always make the
simplest means Of utilizing such fab
RIGS and are suse to be in demand but
borders are not always wide and many
Of them allow of cutting off and are
used for the treatment of various
original styles with the result that
numberless costumes of varying sorts
are designed therefrom.
A noteworthy costume that empha-
sizes certain features of the season Is
made Of very dainty, delicate white
GRIPPE with a woven border Of the
zig-zag order mentioned last week.
This border is headed by little punches
Of flowers embroidered upon the
material in the dull reds and blues
and greens familiar in the oriental
coloring. The skirt is plain and
straight, the border making the finish,
tut over it there is a long tunic OF
plain crepe and this tunic is open at
the sides, all its edges being hem
stitched. The bodice is made with
separate sleeves that are sewed to 1t
at the dropping line but they are
joined with a fancy fagoting stitch
that suggests trimming rather than
joining and, consequently, gives the
suinpe idea. There is a big collar
that also is hem-stitched and that
"opens over a guimpe Of lace outlined
with embroidery in oriental colors
and the frills that finish the sleeves
arc finished in the same way. The
sash is of black satin and makes a
rather important feature, for it is
drapery rather than sash although
the latter term is employed. There
is a crushed girdle few inches in
width, held at the back by little
flower ornament and. beneath the
arms at each side. is attached a wide
sash of satin with hem-stitched edges
and these two sashes are brought
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1913-01-12

together at the back to be knottet
some ten or twelve inches above the
lower edge of the skirt. The low
hanging sash. as it is called, is oriental
in origin and is expected to appeal
in new and original forms.
While, in a general way, the straight
lines prevail, all sorts Of fat plated
skirts are shown and there is evidence
of a greater amount Of material than
was used last wear while combinations
are new and often interesting. There
appears to be somewhat of a revival
of the jumper idea among other fea-
lures and a curious combination OF
that garment with Bulgarian coloring
is found in an over blouse Of sheer,
white crepe with the sleeves and
euirnpe of the same material richly
embroidered in Bulgarian oolors. A
verv beautiful street costume Of cotton
ratine is ecru in tone. The skirt con-
sists of a deep closely fitted yoke to
which is attached a straight fiat
plated skirt. The yoke, however, is
allowed to fall over the plaits to give
something Of the tunic idea. There
is bodice with close fitting kimono
sleeves which terminate little above
the elbows and to these sleeves are
Joined long ones Of crepe embroidered
in Bulgarian colors, the joining being
made on an oddly shaped line. The
coat is high WASTED, with the belt
that is almost universal, but it is much
cut away at the front and Is sleeve
less, with big armholes and dropping
shoulders. Dainty frills of lace finish
the neck and the sleeves.
Bit. of richest oriental coloring
appear upon dull tones and upon white
as background and everywhere there
is evidence of the influence. Even
the daintiest muslins are apt to give
evidence of the oriental influence
and a great many curious effects in
trimmings are to denoted. Metal
buttons appear upon finest crtpe,
for example, and illuminated leather
trimming appears upon crepe snting
and even upon crepe Of lighter sorts.
1t is season Of odd effects, Of the
untsIal in many ways, but it also
is season of much charm. A great
deal of red is shown upon white
gowns and red sashes are conspicuous.
For the daintier gowns Of evening
and dinner occasions. embroidered
nets are much liked.
