Tho colffuro, to my way of thinking, If) one of tho mont Important details for tho completion of a gcnprnl pffiwt That one should arrange her hair to conform to tho style of a frock in my firm conviction. Note how softly pretty our little miss In the upper left, hand corner has arranged hers. Inntcnd of parting her hair in the middle, which is trying to some faces, sometimes giving the lmpresilon of BKe, she has brushed her hair soi'tly back from h'-r forehead, banded II. with two braldH ami crowned tho whole with three, soft, puffs. The little corkscrew curls at the side arid the necessary finishing touch to an Ideal "modern 1H10 coiffure." Another very Import nut detail which cannot, can-not, possibly be dispensed with Ih what I call "the llufflcH," those Intimate lacy things that are so dear to the heart, of every woman. Tho days when a woman boasted "just knickers" are past, and the fluffy, frilly put-(boat, put-(boat, has come Into Its own again. And so glad are w.. o welcome it back wlih us that we tilt, our Hklrts loh, ever so little!) to di.iplay a viuw of Ualnly chiffon, lace and Copyright. lOJ.C'i b ribbons rind what Is more genuinely feminine? femi-nine? A very pretty example of "the new old-fashioned old-fashioned dress" is the dinner frock illustrated illus-trated In the centre of this page. This does not tioast of hoops or crinoline. Being fashioned fash-ioned of stiff gros grain taffeta, it stands out by itself. Bear in inlnil a combination of the very palest of ilesh and a deep shado of rose colored taffeta, the latler bound In a still deeper shade of rose, and over this a lace apron of tho sheerest possible lace bound In turquoise bluo. The skirt is lifted a trifle, disclosing to view a wisp of the above mentioned chiffon, lace and ribbon underskirts, and you will picture a little gem of a frock, very appropriately named "Joy." The picture In the lower left hand corner Is a navy bluo and black striped taffeta afternoon gown. The bodice is built on tho old-fashioned but ever new surplice elTect, drawn around tho waist anil tied at the side front. Tile very full overskirt is draped wit 1 1 the new pocket effect at. Iho side, tho pockets being faced with plain blue of tho same shade. Note the little srfuaro slips at the side, also faced w ith the plain blue. The costume on tho right is an afternoon J- c--""- "Y .,. " " '" t''o.' Easui'.vfv. dress of wido black and mastic striped taffeta. taf-feta. This has the little boned bodice in this instanco attached to the skirt. The sleeves and under bodice are of silver lace, the liaro of the sleeve being finished with throe bands of fur. The skirt is gathered at tho hips slid draped at the front. A short apron banded with fur lends a untQue finish to tho wholo. These .dressos are entirely and specially attractive. There will be, I believe, more than usual interest In thorn because they illustrate a further development of a fash-Ion fash-Ion that was onco the vogue, and no doubt every woman will be anxious to see just how every other woman will look in the new full skirts. At the samo time, women can get a littlo idea how their dear old wrinkled grandmas grand-mas lookod when they were youug and giddy. To tligress for a moment from these particular par-ticular designs, I want to tell you of a costume cos-tume seen at a Hit z luncheon party the other day. Slio was mi almost, boyishly slender Jiltlo lady, whoso coat and skirt costume of blaek and white cheeked tweed was nlmost as severely simplo in stylo as a man's suit. , Also, it was just as immaculately tailored, 9 An Afternoon Dress of Wide Black and Mastic Striped Taffeta CLucRe" Model) hence Its own and the wearer's success. The skirt was of the shortest, its fulness flaring out at the sides only, and the back end front hanging straightly and just touching touch-ing the tops of the high black Russian boots, whose putting on, let me warn you, means the use of a "Jack," and whose taking off demands the help of either a vary muscular maid or a husband sufficiently new to be devoted and delighted to "assist" at his wife's toilette! Tho coat buttoned right up to the neck, with a series of little rounded silver buttons, but-tons, and just showed a line of an Inner collar of white lawn beyond its bordering piping of black satin. Then the toque, too, was of black satin and of distinctly military outline, with just a cockade of satin ribbon, edged with silver galon for its trimming. It was set on the head at the acute angle of a forage cap, nor was there much more hair shown than if its wearer had been a soldier man, the soft dark locks being brushed right back from the forehead and the ears, and just showing a sleek and smooth sweep at the left side, never a stray curl being permitted to relieve the hard line of satin against the forehead. So nothing could well have been simpler than this "get-up,"' and yet the resulting effect was eye-arresting and even startling to a degree rarely attained even by costly elaboration. Though, to be sure, as regards cost, this simple little suit would. I am sure, be calculated calcu-lated to give a severe shock to the husband who was suddenly called upon to pay the bill! |
