The Kenna record. (Kenna, Roosevelt County, N.M.) 190?-1924, 1921-06-10

ton Of dark blue are among the smart
est that are to be seen upon the
streets. One Is a model fresh from the
workrooms Of Jenny In Paris. Its up
per section is made in gray woolly ma
terial and the lower section Is made
Of some thick material In black en-
brOidered with threads of the gray
drawn through 1t to form a plaid de-
sign. The cape is one Of those new
lines that are quite scant in width and
perfectly straight In line, hanging from
a little yoke that Ats the shoulders
snugly and supports a straight collar.
The hat worn with the cape shows
how large the hats can be worn when
they reach the limits OF the French
fashion for this season. Indeed, there
is no limit to the extremes Of width
which they attain, and even then they
do not remain content, but must SUI
perimpose at that exaggerated line
trimming Of some sort that makes
them appear even wider. In this In
stance it is a loosely arranged POM
pom of stiff little feathers, but often
It is an ostrich puff or a bow Of tulle
or a dropping feather or some stray
bits Of flowers or fruit hanging from
the edge. The brims drOop either at
both sides or all the way round, as
the case may be. The trimmings are
scaDty and artistically posed upon the
spreading brims so that they tell for
all they are worth in their rather isO-
lated way.
Season for one-Pleee Dress.
The season for the one-pIece dress
Of serge has also arrived. When there
is no cape OF outer wrap then the
street gown is Of serge or the suit is
Of that or some other light material.
The suits, when they are smartest, are
quite plain, with long waist lines and
with straight lines that are neverthe-
less fitted TO follow the lines of the
figure with a delicate nicely. They
are worn with trim little hats and
with blouses that, while they are most
ly plain, are still made with quantities
of handwork and a sufficient number
of frills to make them becoming.
The serge dresses are made on the
simplest of lines. Really they have
the slightest amount of fit and the
smallest amount Of material to make
them notable. But they are apt
TO be embroidered in some way or
trimmed with little facings or edgings
in some bright color of silk or silk
braid that gives them that fresh chic
which makes them notable. There are
any number of gray dresses made Of
serge and worn with big black or dark
blue hats, and then there are the pOpu-
lar little street dresses, made Of
light, say gray, upper section, and
lower section of the black or dark
blue, a narrow belt of the darker tone
being used to hold them to a semblance
of form about the waist line.
Evening dresses have their predllec-
ton for gray, and when 1t is not ex-
actly gray then those tones Of mauve
and light blue creep In and become
that shading between gray and some
more vivid color when one is not sure
under the night lights exactly what
the tone may be. There are layers and
layers of chiffon about these simple
little evening frocks, and sometimes
many shades Of the same color and
combined in such a subtle manner that
one is not sure where one tone leaves
off and the other begins. The skirts
are made in a succession Of frills or
in an arrangement of petal formations
so that they become just soft masses
Of the becoming material. And as for
trimming, there is none, or perhaps 1t
is but a band Of ribbon about the
waist line or a bunch of artificial
fowers-just tiny little flowers. The
bodices are simply finished by edgings
