AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

Whether or not evening gowns and
wraps could be handsomer, more won
drously rich in color and design, or
more seductively fashioned in cut and
drapery is a matter for desultory spec
ulation. At any rate, we are unanimous
in declarations of the unprecedented
beauty of present-day evening apparel.
Aside from the marvelously soft tex
ture of the materials, the interviewer
designs in delicate tracery or bold
motifs are an unending source of de-
light to the eye.
There are several new gown fabrics
listed for the season. among which
suede satin. faille taffetas and wolfe
MORE figure conspicuously. OF laces.
flets, alencons and lierre are the best.
Although in suits and dresses the
tunic has practically been abandoned
for one-piece full skirts. 1t is still with
us in evening gowns. for it is far too
graceful and pretty a feature to lay
aside just yet. 1t is invariably very
long and transparent enough to allow a
view of the narrower skirt beneath.
The idea is adequately expressed in

it is well to make it a generous size.
quite large round, in fact. Also, the
band should be four inches larger than
the head. Then an elastic can be run
in, and this will keep the cap snug
upon the hair. 1t is impossible to do
without this elastic. If the cap is to be
practical, though some people I know
think it is unnecessary to put 1t in, but
ones hair is not dressed the same at all
hours, and the object of the cap is to
cover as much or as little of the hair
as the owner pleases. Hence the prac-
bility of the simple elastic.
The outer covering, which may be OF
chiffon, net or lace, is cut exactly the
same size as the lining. and both are
pleated or gathered all around the
outer edge, then sewed down to the
band.
Next comes the trimming. One of the
most simple ways of trimming Is to
put frill of lace. say, from two to three
inches wide, around the band SO it falls
over the hair, and then to head it with
something. This may be a twist of rib
bon tied into a coquettish bow at CEN
ter front or little to the left side, as
considered becoming to the wearer. Or
1t might be a row of rosebud trimming.
This dainty garniture harmonizes Wen
with a crown of metallic net or frill

BODICES OF CHIFFON VELVET.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, January 25.-The first
day that colored velvet bodice was
introduced in conjunction with white
skirt, those playing the role of OBJ
servers were amused or irritated. APP
prevail was not there. Yet the idea
has steadily grown and at each new
expression of it we congratulate our
selves at having such clever sugges-
ton to work up.
There are many women to whom
all white, as all black, is thorough
ly unbecoming. They appear at their
worst in such frocks. no matter how
handsome or artistic these gowns may
be. Their faces cry aloud for color TO
give brilliancy to the eyes, the hair'
the cheeks. without color they appear
sallow, chalkwhite. dull No artistry
Of cut or fabric handling can over
come this serious defect.
A woman who neglects to study the
effect of color on the tones OF her
head does not know the most important
rule of dress. To buy gown when
is not weighed from this standpoint first
Is to earn disapproval from the on
locker. And. as il takes little OF the
right color to turn almost any iroch
into a success from a failure, 1t is the
bounden duty of every woman to study
the subject both in theory and practice.
Solves Many Problems.
This fashion for Colored bodice
solves a problem for many. 1t is a lure
TO the economical and a bait for the
color lover 1t gives one a chance to
look ones best in a new frock and
chance to remedy an old frock. Could
mortal woman ask more?
The croquis sent over from Paris
which has been made into finished
sketch shows the idea again worked
out in a new frock for spring and
made by smart house. There are two
features in il that are worth drawing
strict attention to. for they probably
herald new fashions.
One feature is the wrapped bodice of
colored velvet: the other is the full

Boudoir Beauty Caps.
BY HELEN HOWE.

The caps one sees nowadays are fas-
cinating, and as it is the fashion to
construct them from three or four diff
ferent materials, it is quite probable
that raid upon the piece box will re-
veal sufficient material for at least
one cap. If not. then a saunter through
the bargain counter will undoubtedly
result in getting half dozen pieces
at the price of one.
The materials that go to build caps
are nets in cotton, silk and metal, lace

another indication of this tendency.

FRESHIES WIN TITLE.
Washburn Young BIoods Defeat Sem

The fact that the incoming basket
ball material at Washburn college is
of a better caliber than the outgoing
was demonstrated Thursday night
when the freshman team won the
championship of the .interclass series
by defeating the seniors by the score
of 4S to Al.
Both teams were strong and put up
good fight. The seniors boosted
several members of the varsity team
and thought they were entitled to
win, but the freshmen with He'll,
Gray, Growth, Newell, Rice, Parr and
a few more who were just as good
proved too much for them
Both teams had previously defeated
the juniors and sophomores and had
tied each other. One of the largest
student crowds of the season was out
to see the windup.
In the sophomore-junior game, the
honor of the upper classmen was up
held by the juniors winning with one
of the biggest scores made on the

gress Takes Big Jump Thursday.
Peoria, ILL.,, March 19.-Bowling
teams from Milwaukee, Indianapolis
Chicago and st. Louis are here to take
a whirl at the alleys at the American
bowling congress. SiXty-two doubles,
one hundred twenty-siX singles and
twenty-eight five men teams will COM
pete during the day and night. Yes
terday vicious attacks were made on
the scores of the leaders in each divi-
sion but to no avail.
The Bob Plummers of ST. Louis,
with 2S33 in the fives, did not see
any team come closer to them than
eleventh place. v. Davis of the Diana
team, Chicago, succeeded in making
the highest individual score ever
rolled in a five-man event in the
American Bowling congress when he
knocked down pins for a total of 297.
Davis made eleven straight strikes.
Bowlers on the thirteen other alleys
stopped to see the finish, but only
seven pins went down. His team fin
ished in eleventh place.
In the doubles, B. Wienold and w.
Matthes of Chicago, with a score of
1928, are leading, their nearest rivals
being H. Taylor and H. McNulty of
Chicago, with 1,1S3. J. Le1linger of
Chicago has been leading the singles
with 671 since last Sunday; yesterday
A. H. Randall of ST. Louis jumped into
second place with $50. J. T. Spauld-
ing of Taylorville, ILL.,, with a score
of 1,84S, tops the list in the all-events.
