The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1915-10-16

| years type of girl is the dagur-
reotypes. Hoops, mitts, bustlos and
pantalets-not thing is missing.
For two or three seasons now
there has been a threat of panta-
lets in the offing but they have
made very few appearances in the
..oning' as 'twere. This year it
really looks as il they were going
to hang on to the lower limbs of
some OF our very best family trees,
| however.
/ They are really most attractive.
these 1915 pantalets. Those for
wear with street any daytime frocks
are almost as wide and voluminous
| as divided skirts. To go with the
smart fur banded gowns now SO
popular the pantalets are also finish-
ed with a band of fur around the
ankles and sometimes ruching of
the material is used below the fur.
Charming lace and net pantalets
like those We saw occasionally last
season are for wear with the fluffy
dance frocks whose skirts are almost
as short and bouffant as those of
belle of the ballet. A new note is
struck in evening pantalets by q
striking model of silk cut like. the
straight, long pants of Chinese
belle and banded with gold or silver
galloon as a finish.
Speaking of galloon, a novel use
of this metallic banding is shown on
q model evening frock worn in Marie
Tempests present play 1t is gown
of pompadour silk with a tight
bodice and over the full, extremely
full, and short, extremely snort, |
skirt is an even fuller over-skirt of |
white tulle finished with band OF |
silver galloon around the hem caught |
here and there with tiny artificial |
nose gays The stiff galloon acts de- |
lightfully in lieu of wire to give that
desirable crinoline effect.
For yes indeedy, though we aren't |
wearing the real old fashioned hoops |
yet. we are getting the same results
with less bulky and more sanitary |
ccntraptions, mostly wire.
While most of the wiring IS done
Ground the hem of the short skirts, |
vet another effect is obtained by
wiring out sideways over the hips
This builds YOU out sideways like
VeIesauez's celebrated portrait of the
Spanish lnfanta.
If you don't care for these side ex-
tensions. however, Fashion IS most
elastic this year and allows rear
extension with equal impunity.
It's the good old hustle again OF
course, brought up to date by being
formed of ripping folds OF skirt
back breadths. This back draped
hustle effect is much favored on
formal evening gowns of heavy satin
orvelvet that are very decollete and
long of train.
Ouite the most reminiscent OF dear
old granny's youth is model jacket
suit of black and red wool plaid.
n has a short full skirt and little
short full Jacket which once removed
reveals to startled modern eyes
little low necked waist of the plaid
absolutely sleeveless save for a tiny
cap-like puffs of the plaid over each
shoulder. With this sleeveless day
time gown are worn quaint KID
gloves reaching midway OF the fore
arm and laced up the side.
These side-laced gloves are quite
the newest feature at hand and are
worn with every sort of daytime
toilette. Black lace mitts are also
permitted with dressy afternoon
froeks. Though the gloves are lac
ed they aren't lace youn understand, |
whereas the mitts are not laced 9ut
are lace.
The littlestop hats over one eve,
The flowing window curtain wells, |
the little round muffs and ripping
shoulder capes of fur, the extra high
buttoned boots for day wear and the
high ribbon laced cothurns for even
ing all. all are old stuff lifted from
