HEimD Copyrighted T TAKES JUST as much material f to make a dress J this summer as it did last summer r and yet nobody r knows why this J sbould be EO T f J Skirts are narrower narrow-er and scantier = than they ever 1 were before and AtfJ waists are tight t fitting and comedown I come-down closely over J 1 the hips in a way that seems to take up no material at all that is no more than would be actually required re-quired to cover the figure Last year you know the skirts were very full and contained just as much stuff as could be snugly gathered upon the band The waists too were round and loose blouse sbaped rather than tight fitting and oftentimes an enormous sash of the same material was tied around the waist Now it is all so differentandyetono buys almost the same quantity of goods for a dress pattern Dearly beloved women WHY Attn TREse THINGS Titus Can any one answer to a nicety and a certainty cer-tainty J Perhaps it is because the large full sleeves which every dress requires in ord p to bear the stamp of fashion require a great deal of goods Throe yards at least must go to the J sleeves if they are full at the shoulder nigh puffed all the way to the wrist ending there with a narrow band to hold the great sleeve puff in place it takes almost twice as much goods as the shoulder puff alone would require And then if you have taken notice you will have seen a large loose halfflowing sleeve something like I the sleeve which is attached to a wrap and I having also a tighttilting sleeve underneath under-neath this takes more material yet and counts up enormously when one goes to compute the number of yards that are required re-quired for a gown One need not to bo sure have this court sleeve which Is the name of tho one last described nor need one have the sleeve which consists of one continuous puff to tho wrist but what one must really have is tho high shoulder puff and that as wo have said requires at tho lowest calculation I three yards of material I I THE SCAXTT SEIRTS too are very deceptive for though small around they are very long and the fan train which starts at the back of tho waist and spreads out on tho ground almost like peacocks tail contains a great deal of goods and has a way of storing within tho fanlike fan-like folds the same number of yards that would be needed to make an oldtime full overskirt s t1 t v 1 1 o r1 l r rf t r > yo I rc l rl AN ENGLISS OUTDOOR GOWN All the new dresses have pleating or rushing around the foot because say tho dressmakers it is much more becoming to most women to have tho long plainness of the

lower edge of each skirt and over this kilt pleating are van d > ck tabs of tho same material This is really a very pretty dress and when once seen upon a few courageous wearers will commend itsolf to all women lovers of tho cycle Boating dresses are made of serge with extremely plain skirts Indeed skirts for such purposes are so very narrow that one wonders how the wearer can manage to walk in them They are called umbrella case skirts and most correctly are they named for the wearer seems to be done up as tightly as an umbrella ready for transportation trans-portation and how she is going to move her legs with sufficient freedom to cause locomotion loco-motion is a mystery to all who behold her as she stands The jackets worn with these dresses are cut very long indeed almost to the

on the side of I A SNUGLY SKIRTED YOUNG WOMAN If managed skillfully Into the boating dress pocket may go a couple of silk handkerchiefs hand-kerchiefs snugly folded and an extra veil or two should the girl who goes in for outdoor out-door sport find that the sun is becoming really too strong for her complexion As a solace for the aggravation which is caused by tho presence of pockets into which one cannot put her belongings three or four breast pockets are put upon the jacket and into these may go a small notebook note-book or log book and any triflo which the boating girl deems essential to her happiness happi-ness At her belt Is hung a chatelaine with gold pencil vinaigrette little purse and the score of other things which women aro attaching at-taching to themselves by means of little silver chains D Q 7 4u 0 r f t 7 1 4 A GIRLS FETE DUESS The boating skirt disappears at tho waist under a silk Swiss belt which is so cut that it affords really all the support which a woman now requires at the waist when she gets herself up for outofdoor sports The corseted tailormade girl becomes transformed trans-formed on these occasions into a Diana with a rather thick waist ana a figure which surprises sur-prises those who nave seen her only as along a-long slender specimen of womanhood The Swiss belt is oftentimes made of leather and is pointed at the front and back of the waist and narrow at the sides It is very broad elsewhere and is fastened by a big buckle On white flannel all shades of colored col-ored kid are used for these belts ana on colored dresses tan belts are worn Starched bluo is the shade which is the most popular of all just at tho present time Next week it may be azure that will rule or grass green or cows tail red But now it is starch blue A vEiir rnnTTr

almost like panels The waist is very full in both the frout and back and has three rows of shirring around the neck A silk belt begins at the underarm under-arm seam and is fastened in front Blue straw is very fashionable trimmed with blue ostrich tips and with the dress just described a large blue hat with turned up brim and quantities of tips to fall over the edge is worn by the young girl so fortunate for-tunate as to possess such a stylish costume cos-tume The new blouses or tho season are very elaborately trimmed They are made in many light shades and are treated to rows of tucks feather stitching and many gay kinds of galloon mixed with gold In the shops a blouse waist of the most approved sort India silk with tucks and feather stitching and a Stanley belt may be obtained for F9 Title is really quite reasonablo when one considers the amount of goods that is required for one of these waists and the cost or making India silk is seldom less than 41 cents per yard and the better qualities are much more And BO when ono goes into a direct calculation and computation computa-tion as to the cost of things it will be found that these silky trifles which one picks up off the counter and crumples up almost into the palm of ones hand are very expensive things to buy by tho quantity and that they arc but little cheaper when one undertakes to manufacture it homo one by one TIlE NEWEST KIXD3 OF BLOUSE WAISTS waists fasten diagonally and are trimmed with galloon in which there is a libera sprinkling of gold Tho galloon often takes some fancy form upon tho waist outlining

to be entirely discarded When considered alongside of the silk ones it Is found that they are cheaper laundry better and give one tho feeling that one has something some-thing on On the other band the silk ono does not Interfere with the hang of a plain skirt they make a woman seem slenderer because they do not give fullness about the hips and they are delightfully cool The summer tea gowns have the court sleeves described at the beginning and a somewhat full train The front of the waist is in most cases ungorcd and is pleated in at tho waist The court or cape sleeve are of lace and the small sleeves underneath are of plain material to match the train Ostrich feather trimming is used on very many tea gowns and the preferred pre-ferred style is one which consists of a band extending from the neck to the feet down the front of the dress A Princess robe made in this fashion out of silver gray satin and lace is extremely beautiful and becoming becom-ing to almost every style of beauty |
