TAILOR COSTUMES
FAST GOING OUT
BY MADAME RENEE DUvANr.

SPECIAL Cable to The Washington Herald.
Paris. March 2s.-Except for travel
ing. the tailor costume seems to have
gone out for good and all. There are,
of course. costumes which may still be
defined under that category and are
used more or less for street wear: but
they Jack the rigid simplicity which
is the essential of the tailor type
proper.
The costume that is chiefly taking
the place of the tailor-made is very
charming. It diminishes the apparent
volume of the form, has a most simple
effect in front, and falls straight be-
hind, without concealing. however. the
Characteristic contours Of the form.
The cutting Of these garments is an
art in itself. requiring exceptional
cleverness. They are not complete
without waistcoat or blouse. largely
visible, and garnished more or less
with foamy lace. There are no rev.
ers: the front of the gilet forms two
long and narrow "pattes." which are
crossed at the waist, brought together
behind, and tied at low point on the
skirt.
This is one Of the innumerable vari-
ations to the new style, giving to the
corsage an Importance hitherto unknown.
The corsage is no longer Of simple linon,
but is of striped taffetas, of fowered silk
or of some exotic tissue, bizarre In COLI
oring. harmonizing, Of course, with the
whole. but not at all Of the same tint
as the chief material of the robe.
Pleated skirts. either in q single or In
three parts, are often used; but great
skill is required in the plesting. which
must be nodded. as II were, TO the body,
instead of increasing Its volume.
In evening dress new stuffs AFFORD the
principle characteristic note. These new
stuffs are most admirable and lend
themselves with exquisite effect to sim
plicity Of fashioning. Dull mousselines
de sole, in somber hues, will alternate
with embroidered tulles.
The upper parts OF the corsage viii In
many instances be of rare laces. Valen-
ciennes or Venetian, yellowed with age.
A rather undignified reminder Cperhaps
ironic) Of the almost obsolete train Is a
sort of pendant from the belt. that 10
trailed along the floor.

three sets of small wings springing
out from each side OF the crown,
each one = different shade.
But foremost among the hats of
the year are the flower hats. a popu-
lar model that always delights the
heart of woman after the long sea-
son OF dark heavy hats, and these
new blossom hats are particularly at
tractive this season.
Soft satiny straws are trimmed with
flowers so exactly copied from Dres-
den China designs that the whole hat
has an effect Of delicate china; that is
however, very soft and most becom-
ing. Some of the flower hats have
halo brims of lace and crowns made
OF blossoms set closely together,
while others have brims edged with
flowers and gauzy crowns OF flexible
open-work straw, showing under
meath delicate silk to match the pre-
yailing shade OF the flowers used.
As for shapes, the small hat with
narrow brim on one side sweeping
out to wide brim set sharply up, are
much in vogue, but the tricorne hat
because of its becoming qualities, is
a close second in popular favor.
Plain, round, and most youthful
models are also seen trimmed with
4 simple loop of ribbon at the side,

It is an odd little paradox of Dame
Fashion that the biggest feature of
the spring styles, Milady's Easter
bonnet, is this year smallest in size.
To be sure, it makes up in heighth
what it lacks in width, but Paris has
decreed season of small, close-htting
shapes, faring high at one side, trim
med with feathers, ribbons or flow
ers, that go still higher.
1t is undoubtedly true that the en-
actment of the tariff clause about
aigrettes has had material influence
upon imported hats. for it has led to
the designing of smart hats trimmed
with ribbons or flowers in place Of
the aigretted hats of other years.
And these new hats are very ef-
fectiye with tall fancies made Of
shaded ribbons, and regular little
trees of different-colored flowers
springing up sharply from the up
turned brims of the cleverly shaped
hats.

New Wells.

With all the new hats wells are sup
posed to be worn, in fact, veilings are
having . vogue which they have not
enjoyed in some time.
In Paris the most popular veil is
made of tulle illusion, or else of net
work very open down over the eyes
and very fine below. One OF the mil
liners has contrived a veil with a
flower embroidered only on one side
of the face. II is fanciful and very
becoming. Some wells with a deep
border are so opaque as to form quite
a mask over the lower part Of the
face. This model it seems has been
invented for hygienic reasons.
The Washington herald., 1914-03-29

In spite Of the many novelty effects,
however, preference is given to the
large single beauty patch For these
effects the hexagon mesh is the thing.
Chenille effects also figure in the
beauty patch lines, and small chenille
cluster floral designs, well separated,
have a fairly secure position.
In the Oriental veilings, especially
those on the Turkish order, which
leave the eyes more or less unob-
structed, many new designs are
noted.
There is also a tendency in Paris
to reinstate the motor veil in its old
time position This is evidenced by
the fact that some Of the best milli-
ners are showing motor hats with
long chiffon wells.
The Washington herald., 1914-03-29

is, Of course, to some extent respon-
sible for this, but the large ornaments
and buckles, and the hats whose
crowns are sewn with little jet beads
or sequins are decidedly chic and
most effective for hats for afternoon,
while tall. spear-like aigrettes of the
jet support delicate ribbon bows on
some of the new models.
The use OF ribbons is another fea-
ture this year. There are even toques
made entirely of draped and crossed
grosgrain ribbons trimmed with huge
loops at the side, while cockades with
plated ribbon borders are used as
trimming, and some of the smart
tricorne hats are bound with ribbon
IN contrasting shade.
OF course, to rival the ribbons there
are the popular feather fancies very
tall and thin, in the shape of shaded
ostrich plumes or long quills, while
the outstanding India head-dress"
style of feather trimming is once
again seen on some of the smaller
hats of the season.
Small Wings.
Many small wings are also seen, set
on at odd angles, often fastened to
the very edge of the brim turned up
at one side, while few models show

Trains on Dancing Frock..

The latest word that comes from Paris
Is that trains are to be worn once more
with dancing frocks-and this from a city
that Is tango-mad. 1t seems, then, that
the reign of the short-skirted dancing
frock Is about over. The trains are
long, narrow. and pointed. and end In a

Horsehair Laces

Owing to these draped and high ef-
fects horsehair braids, and laces are
used for many Of the smart hats for
the coming months, though tuscan
straw and straw cloth are to be noted
in the imported models.
For the out-of-door girl there are
soft little hats Of duvetyne and cote
de cheval to match her sport COS
tune, while for the little sister quaint
mushroom hats Of fine straw with
dropping brims Of lace are shown IN
the more exclusive shops.
Lace hats are also much in vogue,
black and silver being more popular
at the moment than the gold lace
hats that made their appearance dur
ing the winter months. The lace is
usually used to make high and airy
brim for a small crown wreathed with
flowers, or loops of ribbon.
Another hat much in vogue in
Paris is the Horned Toque" This
is Of straw, starting in a round shape.
but having at each side extensions or
points which are accentuated by the
cockades which trim them. These
horned hats are very effective in the
new pale tints, or Natter blue, which

New YOrk'S East Side
