the other. A most attractive costume
designed for debutante is made in
that way, each founce being slightly
full and joined to the succeeding one
by means of silk-covered cord. The
cords providing sufficient flare to give
the lines that are demanded by the
latest decree. At the lower edge of
the skirt is narrow band of black
velvet ribbon and the little pointed
bodice is all of black velvet with white
net finishing its upper edge. The black
in contrast with the lowered silk is
exceedingly beautiful and the whole
costume is one of the quaint and
interesting sort that always calls for
comment. Velvet ribbon, indeed.
may be counted among the revivals.
1t is being extensively used in black
and in color and is perfectly adapted
to the lowered silk. A most charming
gown that is being packed for Florida
is made of taffeta in a fascinating
shade of rose. There is three-piece
skirt that is edged with two narrow
gathered ruffles and these ruf1es are
each finished at their lower edges with
single band of black velvet ribbon
less than one-half an inch in width,
while at the upper edges they are
turned under to form little headings.
The bodice is modification of the
baby idea for it is cut with round neck
and short puffed sleeves and is softly
draped, but is extended at the front
TO form pointed girdle and at the
back is finished with looped bow
and ends of black velvet ribbon and
around the neck and finishing the
sleeves are velvet edged frills like those
on the skirt.
An afternoon costume is made of
taffeta in one of the wonderful change
able effects that are obtained by many
primary colors, but it gives the effect
of pink silvery touches. 1t consists
of full skirt shirred over cords to
form deep Empire girdle and
trimmed at about knee depth with
three pinked-out ruffles.

GARMENTS FOR THE WEE BABY

material and embroidered with fine
lace used as finish and when frock
is made in that way it is just as
elaborate as any that baby could
need. To make it will require ~
yds. of material SO in. wide or a.
in. wide, with 4 yds. of embroidery,
81 yds. of insertion to trim as
illustrated.
The little kimono seems especially
adapted to fine soft flannel, cashmere,
albatross and materials of the sort.
In the picture, it is made of white
silk flannel and the effect is charming,
but French flannel, Scotch flannel

w., ~

We are promised season of rare op-
portunity and rare beauty with Just
that range Of variety that makes it
possible for each woman to be dressed
at her best
Conspicuous in the display of the
new fabrics are the bordered materials
that are to be found in such silks as
gros de Londre and faille, in crepes
and in taffeta and they are shown in
chiffon to be really marvellously ex-
quisite and in many of the less costly
fabrics that are made of both wool and
cotton. Whenever bordered materials
are unusually attractive. the straight
skirts will prevail. An exceedingly
interesting development of the situa-
ton is gown that is made with skirt
of such material and with a little
pointed bodice of velvet either in black
or in harmonizing color. An exceed
ingly beautiful model of the kind
combines chiffon with velvet and the
chiffon is so designed that it gives
a graduation Of colors from the hem
to the bust. At the hem it is black,
shading gently into soft gray over
which are shadowy flowers of the
palest pink and above the flowers, it
shades into pale pink that deepens
in tone until it is wonderful cerise at
the belt. The skirt is simple. straight
and gathered, that the color effect
may appear at its best. The bodice
is little pointed one of the velvet
matching the deepest red. 1t is laced
together at the front. is cut with
round neck and without sleeves and
is worn over a guimpe of white net
that Grapes the upper edge most
charmingly and provides short draped
sleeves. To obtain the very wide
skirts that already are in demand
without too much bulk over the hips.
hounces frequently are sewed one to

suffer the pangs of poverty added to
others that war entails, but we never
theless must realize that home talent
is to be encouraged, that we have
artists on this side of the sea and that
it is time that we outgrew the fetch
that seems to possess the words "im-
ported" and Partisan" with special
charm and significance whether the
actual output merits it or does not.
As has been stated in previous letters.
it is being demonstrated week by week
that we can and do dye wonderful
colors, that we can and do make
wonderful fabrics and what we need
to stimulate these industries and to give
to their owners that sense of personal
pride that is perhaps the greatest
asset of the foreign manufacturers,
the appreciation of American buyers,
the willingness to look for home pro-
ducts and to pay for home products
ana Just that encouragement which
always comes with recognition. Our
manufacturing interests are too young
in this country to have that inherent
pride which belongs to the foreigner.
1t is not often that a single industry
remains in a family from generation
to generation and if we can build
up just that condition and bring about
that sense of pride, we will have
gone a long way toward creating a
condition from which we may expect
an output equal to any that the world
has to show.
This season, colors are wonderfully
beautiful and are wonderfully inter-
esting. In addition to the color card

FEBRUARY may fairly be said to
be the month of expectancy in
the world of dress. The French
opening will take place before its close
and there are always advance rumors
OF what will be shown. The Southern
resorts are not alone open, they are
enjoying the height Of the season and
whether we are numbered among the
fortunate few who seek them or among
the stay-at-homes, we are apt to be
considering what is to be worn when
the stormy season shall have passed
ard Spring is with us. This season
makes no exception to the rule and
there is perhaps greater sense Of
interest than common for the reason
that conditions are peculiar and that
there is a great deal of effort being
made to get the best of the home
talent to take advantage of the op-
portunity for exploitation which does
not come every year. The very fact
that Paris has announced its usual
February displays entities that city
to the keenest interest and apprecia-
ton for the work must have been done
under exceptionally trying conditions
and gives evidence not alone of the
wonderful ability for which the French
are noted, but also of a steadfastness
Of purpose and determination to
continue even in face of tragedy,
that cannot fail to win admiration.
We must be glad to know that the
dressmakers are equal to their task
and it cannot fail to be gratifca-
ton to realize that there will be en-
ployed many who otherwise might

especial feature. The third costume,
which is shown on the figure at the
extreme right, is extremely attractive
and graceful and is adapted to all
materials that are thin enough to
be made full successfully. The straight
skirt is joined to circular yoke and
the blouse is a perfectly plain one
but with bolero over portion that
completely transforms it. Here the
bolero and the skirt are made of one
material with the blouse of thinner
one in matching color, but the de-
sign can be treated in various ways.
As shown here, it is adapted to the
street, but if the skirt and the bolero
were made of lace founcing with the
blouse of a soft satin or crepe and the
same material used for the yoke, it
would be adapted to the afternoon
dance.

both are adapted to the purpose and
cashmere is often better weight
than any flannel could be. Both pale
blue and pale pink always are good
colors and white is pretty embroid-
cred either with white or with color.
The pattern is perforated for sacque
length and really that means two
garments for the sacque serves quite
a different purpose from the long
kimono. To make the kimono will
require ~ yds. Of material 81 in.
wide, IA yds. 36 or a. in. wide, and
for the sacque will be needed q yd.
any width.

GOWNS IN BECOMING EMPIRE STYLE
INTERESTING MODELS THAT SHOW


HlS is the seaso. w., ri, are
looking ahead to Commence
ment and to all the various enter
tainments and fetes that great event
is sure to mean. Here is fascinating
little frock that can be made either
with low or with half high neck, with
or without sleeves, and can be utilized
both for the evening occasions and
for the afternoon as we'll. 1t is En-
pire in effect and Empire lines are
always becoming to the girls. 1t is
absolutely simple and consequently
can be made with little effort and at
little expense while it is just as smart
and pretty as can be. There is short
wasted body portion or lining to
which the full straight skirt is attached
and the trimming at the front and
back and the drapery over the shout.
ders are arranged over this lining,
and the girdle also is attached to it
at the upper edge. In the picture,
silk net is trimmed with chiffon vel
vet and rosebud banding. but all the
pretty, dainty materials that girls
like can be utilized for the model.
Silk wolfe or chiffon would make up
most effectively, and some of the new
cotton stuffs are really exquisite, and
either fine cotton crepe or cotton
wolfe would be charming with trim
ming of taffeta

TINE plain gown in Empire style
is one of the very latest develop
ments and this model is espec-
tally attractive for the reason that it
can be utilized for many materials
and finished in two different ways.
On the figure. the neck is high with
stock collar, but the suggestion for
the V-shaped neck with high mill
tary collar at the back and sides.

the smartest finish. For the coat
suits, short jackets prevail and haring
effects are the rule, flare is accom-
plished by means Of plaits and by
circular shaping, for both are qually
smart while a great many straight
gathered skirts Of thinner materials
also will be worn.

NH1S Spring is to be essentially
season of simple effects, for
the street costumes at least.
The tailored suit has returned to
favor and the shirt waist has come
into its own. Plain blouses are the
preferred ones for morning wear and
high collars and long sleeves make
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-03-11

MPIRE models are always be-
coming to girlish figures. Just
now the girls Empire frock is
in the height of style. and here is
one of the prettiest possible. The
full skirt is arranged over narrower
foundation and the tunic idea is
always charming. The plain little
body portion is the real Empire effect
and the frill across the lower edge
emphasizes the high waist line. In
one view, lowered silk crepe is COM
bined with charmeuse satin. In the
smaller view, embroidered wolfe is
used over messaline and the model is
q good one for many materials. Plain
crepe de chine would be lovely in
place of the material mentioned, and
chiffon could be used, or the net that
is so we'll liked. If the ruffle at the
lower edge is not becoming, the edge
can be bound or banded with little
fur or embroidered with few beads
to make good effect.
For the I6 year size will be required
AZ yds. of material FL in. wide, 3 yds.
SO, 21s yds. a., for the skirt and
bodice an yds. Fl, 81 yds. SO or a.,
for tunic and sleeves, with 81 yd.
a7 or SO, u yd. a., for the rufles.
To make as shown in the back view,
81 yds. SO for the skirt and sleeves
with 315 yds. founcing 81 in. wide
will he needed.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-03-11

which is shown in the small view, is
good one and will be preferred by
many women. Lorg sleeves are
smart, but there is no fixed rule and
those of three-quarter length are
quite correct, they are finished with
pointed cuffs and these cuffs may be
of the same material or of the trim
ming. Just now there is a notable
fancy for sleeves of a different ma
terial, but here again there is oppor-
tunity for choice since matching
sleeves are used in equal numbers.
In the picture the gown is made of
gabardine, the sleeves and trimming
are of velvet and braiding of soutache,
which is both handsome and fashion
able. but the model is one that can
be utilized for a still handsomer gown
Of velvet, of broadcloth, or of char
neuse satin, or of any material which
is heavy enough to be made in so
simple style.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-03-11

In the group are shown three good
examples of women's costumes. The
coat suit combines the favorite gabar-
dine with a charmeuse trimming. 1t
is Tuxedo brown in color and repre-
sents the smartest and best in cos
tunes of the sort for the stitched
finish and general reserve of trim
ming make important characteristics
of the season. The yoke skirt and
shirt waist on the second figure are
both new and both smart. The skirt
is a good one for the coat suit, for the
gown and also for the odd skirt
without which no womans' wardrobe
is complete. Here it is made of wool
poplin and the blouse is made of
crepe de chine with collar and cuffs
of heavier material. The row Of
buttons right down the front which
extends through the collar makes an
