WAISTS FOR EARLY SPRING

Among new waists are seen many
button-in-back styles in georgette
crepes. AS rule, the front of such
a waist is much trimmed and the col
lar is high. Attractive ones are
trimmed with metal or silk embroidery
or outlined in handwork. The upper
portion of the waist in yoke effect is
usually trimmed in this way, as we'll
as the bottom Of the sleeve. Some
times slit is made in the front Of the
waist or on either side in pocket ef-
feet, which is Ornamented with metal
or silk embroidery with frill Of lace
falling in cascade effect from the cen
ter.
Collars on these waists are novel.
One of the newest follows the line of
the chin to the edge and is made con-
siderably lower in the back in ordinary
high collar height. Other high col
lars flare from the neck, while still
others are in turnover style with a
slight opening in the front.
The majority of waists are in semi
blouse designs opening in front, es-
pecially those of lingerie, crepe de
chine, silk and georgette crepe. The
latter material in white, pastel shades

RUFFLE is COMING IN

long, tight cuff that is buttoned uni
the back.
Coats and blouses are open in front
and the eighteenth century collars
which are not position in shape, will
be played up. Capes promise to be-
so general that they may become COM
mon before June. They are put on
evening gowns made of bullion lace;l
they are attached to afternoon gowns
made Of satin or crepe, and the long
ones are worn in the street. These
are copied from the capes of the
Italian police and sharpshooters. They
are not dark in color, however, but
are white or pearl gray, or rose pink
for the country. They are worn in
the approved Italian fashion, with the
right side thrown well over the left
shoulder.
Departing from the important fea-
lures and the silhouette, there are
many interesting minor things to be
considered about the new fashions,
and these interest some women as
much as do the larger features.
Stripes, broad and narrow, will be in.
troduced in all kinds of fabrics, in
Guiding serge, silk, gaberdine, jersey
cloth and voile
There are so many of them that one
invariably thinks of the directoire
fashions, and yet, the only other hint
OF this epoch in the incoming styles
is the high, rolling collar, the frill
OF lace in front and coat or bodice
that fits the figure.
There are suits and one.piece frocks
made Of striped serge and silk, espe-
cially in blue and white with pipings
of solid blue and there are skirts Of
old-fashioned ribbed silk made in
stripes that are five inches wide
which go around the figure There
are suits of jersey cloth and other
fabrics that have immense collars,
revers, girdles and broad cuffs, some
turning back nearly to the elbow,
made Of striped cloth or silk.
The designers have racked their
brains for new ways to use ribbon,
but no one has ousted the method of
making a gown as though it dripped
ribbon. For instance, a silk net eve
ming gown in one color will have hun,
dreds of hanging tabs of another color
arranged in thick groups. There are
few rosettes and bows, as any method
that keeps the ribbon from being fiat.
