hip extended models SO characteristic
of that house. 1t must be admittQl
that dresses Of this type are eminent
ly suitable to coquettish and DASH
Ing young woman Of slender, graceful
build. Renouard looks SO admirable
in her Lanvin dresses that one can
not doubt that she greatly aids in the
continuance of this fashion.
oroandie Over Black Taffeta.
A ose-colored organdie dress, made
up over a hip extended foundation Of
black taffeta, Is very beautiful. The
organdie is a slip-over-the-head, che
mise style, with considerable fullness
on the hips. The dress opens in a
wide panel down the front to show
the black foundation. About the waist
is q black taffeta ribbon sash tied In
a simple square-looped bow ut the
back. This ribbon has a border of
rose -colored satin, matching exactly
the tone of the organdie. Interesting
ornamentation. in the form of q fiat
applique and embroidered roses of
precisely the same tone, appears on
the front of the skirt. On the black
applique which enlivens the rather
somber foundation. This dress has
the low, round neck and short sleeves.
Lanvin is making many of her dresses
in this style.
Renouartl wore with this dress the
'hinnest Of tete-tle-negre stockings and
HACK satin slippers. She also wore
'"n- mnnsGuetaire gloves Of glace kid.
finished with points Of leather at the
edge Uf the wrinkled top.
Marie Louise, the well-known mill
liner, made the adorable hat Of black
horsehair braid, delicate to the point
Of transparency. banded and bowed
with o vide rose taffeta ribbon bor-
dered with black.
Dignity Of Line and Design.
In the same role Renouard wore q
black taffeta frock. very simple In
design, wide skirted, and with bod
ice fitting her slender figure quite
snugly. The feature Of this frock II
a big feather design In white. devel-
oped in white ribbon and silk doss
embroidery, which stands out like an
applique and adds materially to the
effect of the dress. There are no
sleeves The decolletage is quite low.
Again she wore Marie Louise hat
this time of black satin trimmed with
q skeleton plume Of Natter blue os-
trich.
In direct contrast with dresses Of
this type are the models made by
houses such as Redfern and Worth,
who keep to dignity of line and con-
ventional designs.
Nine. Daimofr, playing at the Renais-
sance theater, wore a gorgeous dress
of semi-conventional type made by
Redfern. 1t was developed in silver
brocade and lnauve tulle, the latter
forming voluminous sash drapery
at one side Of the back. She carried
with this pale mauve and silver dress
a brilliant jade green ostrich fan.
In summer suits the plated skirt
continues popular. Many models are
being developed in taffeta and satin.
Skirts having plated panels are often
accompanied by jackets with plated
panels and neck frills.
The fashion Of catching tto plated
skirt in at the bottom by means Of a
band is one Of the fea-
lures in summer tailor-mades. Beer
has an interesting new model of this
sort, with a loose box coat and a
straight plated skirt developed in
white serge with black trimmings.
This house also shows a sma sport
suit of khaki-colored serge, trimmed
with stitched plaits. which pass
around the bottom Of the jacket. the
hem of the skirt and the flaring edges
Of the sleeves. Flatly stitched plaits
also form yoke outline on the body |
