OUR WEEKLY
FASHION LETTER
As Shown In the New York Open
lnoS. Skirts Of Wool, SILK or
0rOandy ScallOped al the
Lower td0e
New York, March 80.

New York, March 30.
All dresses are full short whether
for morning, afternoon, or evening
wear. Collars are high in the back
with some kind of an opening IN
front. One dress of black taffeta
has collar high IN the back with 4
daring white organdy collar above;
around the collar and tying IN a
bow IN front Is piece Of black rib
bon, giving the collar an old time
stock appearance. Below the RIB
bon bowls an open V, where the
bare neck ahows. Another rather
military model with a V neck has a
collar high in the back aud coming
a little forward, where il Is caught
by a loop Of cord to brass button
on each side.
Many skirts are finished with a
$ slashed or scalloped lower edge,
which is bound with the same or a
contrasting material. One striking
and practical dress which 1 have
recently seen with this feature was
Of black wolfe over tafTeta, in a
shade Of PLAN verglng onto old rose.
The bodice of the dress had almost
the appearance Of a jacket. The
voile was fitted plain over the silk
and both were gathered at the
waistline, so it bad the appearance
OF being shadowy solid color.

A Simple Dress Developed in
Striped Wolfe

The collar lined with the tafTeta
was high at the back, and on the
sides were separate pieces, which
looked like petals, to frame the
face. The skirt Of black voile
hung independently of the silk un.
dersklrt, and was slashed around
the bottom and bound with black
voile and piped with the tinIest
edge of the silk. The undersklrt
was also slashed aud bound of
itself A wide pleated girdle Of
of the silk surrounded the wsist,
crossed in the back and tied loosely
IN the front. An important feature
of this dress was the sleeves, which
were three.quarter. and not full
length. They were a narrow bell
shape and faced back with the silk
on the right side.
For the summer dress many
models Of pougee are shown. One
pongee dress was trimmed with
royal blue embroidery. The bodice
was Of pongce with apleated front
of chiffon exactly the same shade.
The collar was low and extended
out to the shoulder-tips, scalloped
in the front and embroidered IN the
blue. A frill Of ecru lace edged
the collar and extended down the
front of the waist. The long,
close-GJting sleeves were finished
with narrow cuffs embroidered with
the blue. The skirt was made
with yoke IN front, and falling
from the yoke was pleated section
while at the sides the yoke ana
skirt were in one.
Another pongee dress made in
semi Princess style is trimmed
down the front Of the waist with

The New FriIIed FrOCkS, in This
Instance Developed in Wolfe

The sheer frocks with many frills
and ruflles are particularly smart
this season and have a revival from
years gone by, Flowered organizes
and lawns make these charming
dresses, as well as the plain white
and colors. One very pretty white
organdy which | liked bal skirt
slashed up at the knee.length,
about twelve inches apart all around
the skirt. The bottom of the skirt
and the slashes were edged around
with a continuous three-inch rufle
Of the organdy. These deep slashes
and scallops are very airy and
pretty.
A strrkingly pretty evening dress
was deHgned by La Crox. The
material used was grcemsh-ycllow,
called exposition gold, grosgrain
silk striped with broad satin stripe
and three narrow ones. The bodice
was perfectly straight under the
arms and fitted loosely about the
waist; the lower edge of the bodice
was finished with band of the
silk with the STRIPS running around
The skirt was also straight hanging,
Pocahontas star herald., 1915-04-02

braid IN military style, and tue
edge OF the opening of the waist
which extends to the Wartime Is
is finished with a rather large cord
which knots loosely.
A new style of collar which Is
taking many people by storm Is
made of white linen. II is cut
circular and placed on a band
around the neck at the height oil
the "Adam's apple" aud extends
out to the shoulder-ups, aud IN the
more extreme ones a bit beyond
The general effect Of these collars
Is trimness not unlike the Puritan
collars which we see in old pictures
But, as some one said not long ago.
"a dress may look very much ike
the old styles, but rest assured
there Is something different about
IIt." In this case 1t is the V oil
bare neck which shows as the collar
spreads away from where 1t is
fastened. With this collar are
worn deep cuffs. Sometimes the
material used for this collar-and'
cuffs set Is Of doubled linen, and
again 1t is of single linen with fnlls
Of narrow embroidery or lace on
edge. They also often have insets
Of lace medallions.
All kinds OF cheoks-wide, mar
row, irregular and wavering-are
used in the spring and summer
frocks. They are usually made up
aud down of the stripe, but there is
quite a vogue this year, for those
who are slender enough TO allow Of
il, to have the stripes made up Iun'
ming round and round. Again the
up and down is used, but with
trimmings Of bands running all
around. In Lmy first illustration is
a simple, trim frook made up in
striped blue-and.wmte crepe.
Each blue stripe is checked blue
and white and through the white
stipe are heoks Of heavier threads.
The neat ,,side closing OF the waist
corresponds with the side-closing on
the skirt. The cuffs and collar
are OF blue crepe which matches
the blue in the stripe. Small cloth
covered buttons are used down the
front of the waist in groups OF
four, and continue twice on the
SKIRT. 80

Our new county Judge, c. +.
Pringle, announces that one OF his
first official acts will be to call IN
all the road overseers Of. the drouth
stricken townships, and order them
to warn out and work all the needy
men for three or more days and pa!
them for their service out of th,
road funds for each respective
township. As many Of these peopi,
have no food for either their FAM

wonderful help to them right at
this particular time, and we believe
Judge Pringle will be commendeo
