George Parker and Bernice Bryant

Peace in St Adams.
The daily morning oasis., 1918-07-31

When July inaugurates the season
for vacations and women buy the last
of their summer millinery, experience
proves that they turn their backs on
flowers and summary straws. Hereto
fore they have bought light felt hats, or
the heavier straws, like milan, with
white trimming, or have even antici-
pated the natural season for velvet
and chosen to wear it out of season.
For several summers considerable
black velvet has been worn in August.
But this anticipation of the season for
velvet spoiled their zest for it when
fall really arrived.
There is a new order of things this
year. Designers appreciated that wom-
en- wanted for late summer something
different from the hats that had gone
before and bought velvet because lit
tie else was offered them. They have
produced some lovely hats Of fabrics
that are to serve for late summer and
between seasons wear and they have
proved Immediately successful. These
hats are made of taffeta or ribbon or
georgette crepe or felt yelled with
georgette. Their trimmings are odd,
fat ornaments, made of materials in
the workroom, or embroidery with
chenille or silk. or braiding with
soutache braid. Ornamental pins, hav-
ing rather large fancy heads, help out
in this respect. Besides these fabric
hats, turbans made entirely of feath-
ers, and white Milans, wing-trimmed
The daily morning oasis., 1918-07-31

PajamaS, worn instead of night
dresses, have proved so sensible and
so fetching that they have become an
established institution in the realm of
lingerie. How we accept them as a
matter of course. 1t was because
they proved pretty and fascinating
that they were followed by negligees
that scorned skirts and reveled in
trousers, inviting all sorts of gorgeous
oriental silks and furbelows, to come
and be at home with them. Japan,
China, Persia, Turkey and heaven only
knows what other lands, have been
ransacked for inspirations.
The designers, once having landed
an idea, exploit it to suit themselves.
In the picture lovely negligee is
shown with lowered satin trousers,
or pantalettes, that are gathered In
about the ankle. Over an ivory sur
face, or on any good color background,
bouquets of flowers in several col
ors are printed on silks that make
these neither garments things of
beauty. Worn over these there are
mantels or jackets or draperies Of
georgette or silk, usually in plain
color. In the pictur the Over-garment
is rose-colored crepe georgette and it
fastens with silk cord and tassels in
the same color.
Bright green, or black and gold
made up with straight trousers and
short Jackets in the fashion of Chinese
The daily morning oasis., 1918-07-31

turbans and small hats, swell the num-
Der of designs that furnish July and
the following two months with their
own peculiar millinery.
In the group of hats pictured there
are three that are entirely different,
represented. At the top is large hat
of gold-colored georgette crepe faced
with black panne velvet. Small fig
ures embroidered in black, white and
blue silk, make up its decoration. Be-
low it is a hat of taffeta braided with
soutache. Navy blue, black and white
are the best looking models of this
kind. Navy blue taffeta either en-
broidered, or machine stitched or
braided in white, is a great favorite.
The third hat is of white yedda
braid trimmed with a wide feath-
er band and three small white wings
that are an extension of the band.
This hat will have ended it's service
with the last day of August, but the
others will last through September
or longer.
The daily morning oasis., 1918-07-31

frankly indebted to military uniforms
for its lines and details of finish. The
breecheS are cut on the same lines as
those Of khaki-clad soldiers and, in
stead of high boots and riding hat,
puttees and a cap are worn, adding
strength to the military flavor of a
swagger habit. There are two large
patch pockets at the left side of the
coat and small slit pocket, for the
handkerchief, at the right. The blouse
worn under the coat has a high turn
over collar with a four-in-hand tie
slipped under it.
Coats are full skirted and therefore
appear little shorter than they were,
but the length remains the same-that
is eight inches above the top of
the puttees or boots. Puttees may
be regarded as fad, for they are not
as trim as boots and probably not as
comfortable, but they make pleasing
variety for women who can indulge
themselves In fancies.
The daily morning oasis., 1918-07-31

We just can't get away from the
military influence in styles; but it has
conferred on that portion of feminine
apparel that is made to withstand
hard wear, as riding habits and serv-
ice suits of various kinds. There Is
the military cape among wraps, but
it appears to be an inspiration of other
days or other lands-none of our Off
GERS and soldiers are going about in
picturesque and flowing capes. Wher-
ever it came from it is some
thing to be thankful for as an addi-
ton to fair woman's wardrobe. 1t
has spirit and grace; lending its "air"
it off.
In riding habits and outfits, colors
and lines are reminiscent of khaki and
olive drab uniforms. Shoes and put
tees vie with high boots, and small
military caps with regulation riding
hats for favor in the eyes Of this sum-
mer's sportswoman. For midsummer
Palm Beach cloth, linen and heavy
shantung are offered in place Of the
substantial weaves in wool that pro-
vide habits for other seasons. Besides
these there are lighter weight wool
mixtures, in khaki color, with almost
invisible threads of green and red shot
through them, among the most practi-
cal of habits since they are adapt
ed to any season.
One of these appears in the smart
habit shown in the picture, to be
The daily morning oasis., 1918-07-31

The high boots for street wear have
sensible Cuban heels and moderately
heavy soles. Perforations along all
the seams and at each side of the fac
ing at the front, give them hand
some finish and they look altogether
dependable and smart-just as women
themselves aspire to look in these
times. White canvas oxfords for wear
with summer street suits and frOcks
are very plain and may be had with
either Cuban or French heels. They
are easily kept clean and are very
durable. Where street shoes will
strike the wrong note apd something
more dressy is needed, kid pumps,
similar to those shown in the picture,
will fill all requirements. They are of
black kid with gray panels, but there
is great variety of pumps in all-black
and black with colored panels to
choose from.
