To Be Ideally Feminine.
Worth and Redfern are both making
delightfully."- picturesque lace and chit
fon scarf draperies to accompany
their more elaborate evening gowns.
These scarfs are thrown on in shawl
fashion, and as they are extremely
fragile and transparent they add the
charm of mystery to already beautiful
skins. One finds such scarf draperies
as these introduced on many of the
latest models and with splendid effect.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said. and is still being said, on the
subject of eccentric fashions we are
in reality rapidly approaching period
of ideally feminine styles. No one
who has the right to pass behind the
scenes in the world of dress can
doubt this statement. Everything
points to the fact that women are
going to be intensely womanly 80 far
as dress is concerned in the year 1914
They are even going to be fluffy
and frilly and clouded in pelfumed
mysteries composed of fine lace and
plated tulle. It is long time since
women as sex have been really
fluffy and frilly II is a VERY long

called shawls; since they nave permit
