Many friends of Miss Della Bou-
chard of the Bonnet Shop and her
sisters will be interested in the fol-
lowing clipping from the Watervilie
Sentinel concerning the success of
Miss Bouchard's opening a second
Bonnet Shop. which she has recent
ly opened in Waterville. AT the
Bonnet Shop the effect of the whole
plan was lovely, the soft gray tone
of the fittings and the furniture and
fittings blended with the pale orchid
shades of the hats which were
shown forming the window display.
Miss Della Bouchard. the proprietor,
showed some daring models. In her
ready to wear hats she is featuring
the Knickerbocker hats. which are
extremely chic, with her famous
Bonnet Shop models. With Miss
Bouchard at the opening were her
five sisters, who helped to make the
shop such an alluring place to buy"
Miss Bouchard will give a showing
of Easter millinery at the Skowhe-

The use of high colored prints IN
crepe Marocain and crepe de chine
is still much in vogue. The newest
patterns are in Camboge or Hindo-
Chinese style, but there also are
many Persian and cashmere prints.
The current use Of prints in conf
bination with plain crepes to- form
dresses and three-piece suits is IL
Illustrated in one of today's sketches.
Many of the newest afternoon
dresses for spring will be made OF
crepe Roman of that quality which
resembles crepe Georgette but has
considerable more body and is more
durable. A charming new model
developed from gray crepe Roman
is trimmed with hand plcated bands
a faille ribbon set into open inter-
strices which are embroidered all
around. Giving further ornamen-
tation and weight to the dress are
broad panels of tiny hand-run tucks
at the front and back.
Many black and white combina-
tions are being emphasized. A new

The BoLero Jacket
Returns

This season changes of styles IN
almost every instance are made
through the details of the dress
rather than through the cut. In
collars, sleeves, capes and trim
mings great variety is apparent.
Many of the new models might al
most be said to represent a gath
ering of ideas that have been ad-
vanced at various times over the
last few years.
Take, for instance, the three
models shown at the center of to-
days page. They give the appear
ance of considerable elaboration,
but a careful analysis proves that
they represent merely bringing TO-
gether Of various recent ideas
There Is the short straight-cut jack
ct, the godet skirs and the finely
pleated skirt, the use of printed
fabric in combination with a plair
one to give the impression of ella
borate embroidery, the bertha ant
the lavish use Of embroidery.
A Doeuillet model carrying GU
several of these ideas is shown il
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-04

embroidery done with self-cord-
ing in conjunction with machine
stitching done in metal threads is
used by one great French designer.
This embroidery appears on a SIM
pie but attractive model of white
crepe Marocain, the cording being
done on the sleeves, the yoke and
the skirt. The gold thread stitching
is in the form of diamond shaped
motifs at both the back and front
of the dress.
In a city so full Of romantic in
terest as Paris it is natural for the
dressmakers to seek inspiration II
the exquisite silhouettes of bygont
days, and among the simple, flower
like frocks often seen an amusing
note is introduced by picture
dresses, the ideas having been tax
en- from the marvellous portrait!
which abound in the Musee d.
Louvre.
Now and then one sees a fra
young miss in a very full tulle dres
of the palest shade imaginable. TIL
skirt may be trimmed with band
and rosettes Of pink satin ribbon o
varying lengths, while the roun
neck, tulle bodice, with little puffe
sleeves, is untrimmed. The flu
tulle skirt is usually hung over
straight, rather narrow foundGtio
slip of pink satin. Or, again, tn
; full skirt may be entirely dotte
with tiny velvet flowers in a darkt
shade than the tulle.

dlework appearing on the panels at
the sides of the skirt and surmount-
ing open slashes in the front of the
bodice. A sash in salmon pink
energies at one side of the dress, as
if the under-bodice were made by
wrapping the figure and leaving the
long ends free to tie in a bow on
the outside of the dress. The novel,
half low roll collar shows the same
embroidery.
An attractive model created for
Southern wear is developed of crepe
Georgette with delicate hand en-
broidery. The dress is in one-piecc
style with waistline higher than
that most popular at the present
time. There are overhanging pan
els closely pleated and mounted
with a delicate handwork done or
the crepe georgette. A smart touch
is given through the use of scarf
sash Of tulle which is attached a
the left side with a bouquet Of
frosted silver flowers. When worn
this scarf is thrown carelessl!
around the neck, passing the bacl
and the left arm and crossing tn,
throat.

able.
With its return to favor it has
been lifted out of it's oldtime place
and made one of the extremes of
fashion. As of old, however, white
lingerie effects are introduced into
the blue serge costume to make 1t
more appealing. At the exclusive
dressmaking establishments one
sees the three-piece costume of blue

tapping petals of the cerise chiffon.
This same trimming also edged the
short sleeves.
Another ADORABLE frock was de-
veloped in an apricot taffeta. This
was a straight little slip-over-the-
head dress in chemise form trimmed
with garlands of flowers and foliage
down each side of the dress, falling
from a low waistline to the edge of
the skirt. This garniture was also
of taffeta in a darker shade of yell
low, brown and green. The round
neck, very short sleeves and bottom
of the skirt were edged with shirred
bands of cream net,
Keeping to straight and slender
lines is a dress developed in love-
ly pink crepe de chine, the bodice
and skirt being cut in one piece. Al
each side of the skirt hang two looT
panels about nine inches in widtf
which fall from a low waistline ant
extend three inches beyond the 'edg'
of the skirt. Slanting slightly dow
over the right hip is ruff-like CIR
die of pleated tulle of MATCHING
shade, centered with mink tails. Th'
model slips on over the head, ha
very short sleeves and a straight
across neck.

this group. 1t is smart spring
dress with matching cape developed
from navy blue serge. This model
is entirely in the picture of the new
styles for the coming spring and
summer. 1t confirms the vogue of

use of the little matching detacha-
bic cape, which in this instance is
also pleated, the Importance of the

Discriminating women seemingly
have not had enough of embroidery.
Some of the new spring models in
silk are literally embroidery COW
cred, the pattern being so ex-
quisitely executed that it seems a
part of the fabric. A beautiful
dress of this character developed in
Charmante Armure is in a lovely
reddish tone with a cashmere de-
sign.
The dress is of a most unusual
cut, seemingly passing around the
figure three times, and in a way it
has three armholes. The underlap-
ping side has an armhole to hold it
in place, the dress has two regula-
ton armholes which support the
sleeves and the dress fastens very
far at the right side, quite contrary
to the usual style of opening.

all of which, as details, presage the
actual mode for 1923. Doeuillet
gives an aspect of the bolero to the
dress by the manner of trimming
the bodice, using, as he does, silk
braid in a brilliant red bordered
with a silver embroidery.
A Skirt Suspended.
Directly to the right of this is
shown an Agnes model in a spring

Georgette, upon which there is an
embroidery in deep red. The skirt
is worn at low hip line and is sus-
pended by means of straps which
are attached as a border to the bo-
lero jacket.
The union Of blue serge and
white organdie is an important bit
of news in the fashion world. Navy
blue serge has been revived and
brought into the foreground as a
fashionable dress material. A few
years ago this material was looked
upon as the backbone of the ward,

of the crepe de chine, while the

A Blue Serge Dress
Sometimes the lingerie effect is
introduced in the skirt of dress.
A new model for spring, charming
in its simplicity, is developed in
blue organdie set into the skirt.
These organdie panels are much
elaborated, with a sort of passe-
menterie trimming made from the
organdie. Similar panels appear on
the sleeves, and there is a belt OF
the organdie.
An excess of embroidery charac-
terizes many of the new dresses.
They are not only adorned with en-
broidery, but they are covered with
it. A dress from Worth typical of
the new embroidery effects is
shown today. 1t is developed from
Havana brown crepe Mongol with
an all-over design in Chinese effect
done in the same tone. This model
is sketched at the lower left of this

ing, the front laps widely to the
