East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-06-16

We were threatened as early as in
the spring by the most highly ap-
proved Partisan couturieres that full,
short skirts would prevail and when
they arrived we gladly accepted them
without protest. Were they not a
delightful change from the long, tight
skirt and just the thing for tailleurs
and dance froeks? And then the Am.
erican matron hesitated-as an even
ing frock for her debutante daughter
well and good, but for the dignified
hostess, who demanded a trained re-
ception gown-never.
AS a result, we have the gown il
lustrated, designed and worn recently
by an American society woman. The
novelty is in the train. When she
desires, the wearer may appear in
training gown with all the dignity
that social etiquette demands. and
when the dance music starts, she
may gently lift the train and indulge
to her hearts content, with all tht
comfort of the short but not too vol
luminous skirt.
The gown was of white goldenroC
satin with the skirt scantily gathered
at a slightly high waist line. The
skirt finished in a straight train
which was looped under at about the
knees, and this gave the extra full
ness. An elaborate garniture o.
crystal effect was also worked out or
the sleeves and in the hair and slip
per ornaments, and a handsome strinf
of pearls completed the attractive
costume.
