PIeated PepIum and RufiIe Give Dis
tinotiOn to this Long, Wasted Dress.
godet The collar and cuffs are Of
the same. The coat Is bound with a
braid in the same manner as a mans
evening coat, and the buttons are
covered with the same cloth. The
skirt worn with this coat is OF
rough worsted, having a green and
white checkered design. The strik-
ing hat, which gives cachet to the
costume. is Of dark greenish-blue
feathers, higher on one side than the
other.
Buff ladies' cloth. with a burnt
banana stripe. formed the basic ma
terial for the smart dress I have pic
tured as No. Q The pleated peplum
and fiounoe are of bun, as well as the
collar and cuffs of the frock. whose
exaggerated waistline is most be-
coming TO the straight up-and-down
figure
A smart spring trimming, just over
/ from Paris, is colored braid Some
/ of II is five and six inches wide, and
! is shown in checks, stripes and
/ plaids. It is shaped into cuffs,
makes the collar, and is used for
| facing ripping ruffles, to give a dark
! dress a bit Of color.
Serge is always practical and SER
viceable as a spring suiting, and is.
undoubtedly in high favor this season
In somber hues it will be relieved by
touches of red and green and yellow.
In fact. every dark-colored frock
seems TO cry out for a touch of some
thing bright. Piping is one mode of
introducing color Poiret shows this
piping in red on a model having a
! Partisan version of the Balkan
blouse. The skirt was made with a
front and back Joined at the bottom
and the top, between which, on each
hip, were set-in pleats Piping of
military red followed the outline of
the skirt at top on either side Of the
inset pleats.
A charming way of finishing a sim.
pie V-shaped neck is with a Chinese
tassel of multi-colored threads
: These are an accessory which is move
a and gives INST the right note OF color
, Another simple way Of adding color
. : is to make the belt or girdle of brait
OF contraTing silk. This gives
. touch of individuality and orientalisn
! very popular with our moderl
. women.
