The Wingham Advance, 1910-04-21, Page 2During the week I have seen two im-
portant aress collections, the first being
that
of elan Bailee, whose clientele in-
cludee scane of the ohleet names in
Frame, and a great many distinguished
foreign name as well, The strong note
in the collection of this season is a cer-
tain subtle grace which it is hard to de-
*tribe, for it lies in the combination of
colors, in the fall of the draperies and in
the complicated simplicity of the general
cut.
Two charming evening gowns which 1
remember well were in taffetas -one in
apricot that, with old rose, and trimmed
on the orange with. black ribbon velvet,
old paste buttons and a bouquet of
Eighteenth Century- roses, which, might
bave bee u brought from the Trianon it-
self, The other was in pale blue Pom-
padour, se printed as to look faded in -
parts. This, too, had ribbone but of old
rose, and the skirt was edged with a
close, old- fashioned ruche.
Little Foulard Gowns.
A series of little foulard kowns also
pleased me very much, and in these 1
Itotietul that the skirts were moderately
full and softly draped, while the bodices
luta guimpes of mousseline in two differ-
ent shades. For instance, a eed foulard
with a little black and white design on
it luul the corsage trimmed with mousse-
line iu two shades of green; but so little
of either was used that one only just
felt it , woe there.
A Bright Affair.
Another quite fascinating summer cos-
tume was in toile de aouy of the small-
est, brightest design. The skirt was
made tailor fashion, with pleats at the
sides and a fairly lull baek, and the coat
Was long and cut away round. the waist,
so that it fell in two long, straight lines
down the eides. Two wide, soft revers of
blaek moire and a collar to match gave
to the whole the geraeest cachet imagin-
able.
The effect of the, enthe collection was
that discretion is the better part of fash-
ion, and the vendeuse told me that
nearly every model has to be modified
when it is being copied for a femme du
monde, as the mannequins nearly always
Wear an extravagant. note somewhere.
Ultra Smart.
The other collection was chez Bou,
whose frocks are always ultra -smart.
Their greatest charm is their youth and
gayety: indeed, when I come to think
about it, I have never seen a moody
frock in these rooms. imagine a pale
sea -green mousseline dinner gown,
mete short, and very simply (hived with
a tunic edged with wide, heavy, silver em-
broidery, a note of 'which in a lighter
design is used to trim the decollete cor-
sage. As to sleeves, they are merely a
suggestion of green and silver foam.
Than think of a khaki calleemire de soie
trimmed with a long line of jet buttons
down one side of the skirt, a hem of
black Liberty, and a corsage of khaki
moueseline over black Liberty and jet.
Handsome Tunics.
A blue foulard. had. a tunic of shep-
herd's plaid. silk, very soft in textare,
and a wine -colored foulard and a tuni
of navy mousseline de sok, with blue
and silver embroideries round the edge
and on the corsage.
The lingerie frocks were very much
fuller in the ekirt than any others, and
there IMO a noticeable blending of heavy
embroideries with the fineet of lawn.
Punches of ribbon and daiety shoulder
eapes suggest the modes of 1830, and
there were certainly signs at Auteuil on
Sunday which point to the same cline -
tion.
LOVELY TRIMMINGS.
Colorings of New Garnitures Are Soft
and Subdued.
So important have trimmings become
that several :shops are making a, special-
ty of them and greatly enlarging their
stock and the counters over which they
are to be sold.

THE 'TRYING BLACK FROCK.
Meek gowns are once more ultra -
smart for women of all ages, and there-
fore a little talk upon how it may be
worn more becomingly by the *woman
past her first youth, is justified.
Black worn uelt to the face ages its
wearer by emphasizing wrinkles and
"liver spota" and it also robs the hair
of its luetre, Dull black is mere trying
than the lustrous materials. Satin, it
must be remembered, however, emphas-
izes bulk and makes shoulders inclined
to stoop, look still more round.
The woman who does not possess a
good skin raust soften her black dress
with touches of gold or silver or bril-
liant green and blue. A. line of blue at
the top of the oollar aud a long silver
chain set with blue stones helps out won-
derfully. The semi -transparent yoke of
gold or eilver net veiled with blot; net
renders A hlack frock becoming to any
type.
If the tiros must be kept all black, a
Jae° or eat yoke and undeesleeve,s will
lighten the frock and render it less try -
Sharp contrasts aro -never becomind,
hence nothing is mnre trying than the
black drew; rvitb a deadwhite guirape
and sleeves. Better all hinek then that.
A NEW SILK PETTICOAT.
It is of soft, lustrous enessaline.
Polka dots are strewn over the silken
surface.
It COMO in lovely colors.
Beeause of its softness, the messaline
will not cut, as do the taffeta silks.
And a eilk pettieeat that wears well
is always a feminine boon.
SHINY LEATHER,
It is really our old friend, patent
leather, under a different name.
Stuart suits for youg girls are of
black and white cheeks, with collars and
cuffs of this shiny black leather.
A touch of it sometimes worked into
wonieres suits and top coats.
And the black patent leather belt is
coming to the front again.
It is very good looking when used to
bolt in the straight linen dresses which
small girls wear.
MASCULINE TIPS.
The fashionable eolor this mason is
gray -gray for suits and overcoats.
Gray hats, too, if he likes them.
Plaids and overplaids mark the
spring suiting fabrics. e,
Many strepes, too, are shown.
Custom shirt makers are showing new
designs in Scotch and Austrian madras.
.A. new French silk and linen is also
used for custom shirts, -
Handsome French socks are those in
two -toned effects and beautiful colors.
They cost $5 a pair.
SILHOUETTES OF PARIS VOGUE.
tenderer Lines Than Ever Will Char-
acterize the Modish Woman of 1910.
The silhouette of the modish woman
of 1910, according to a Paris correspon-
dent, will be like a long exclamation
point. She has been growing narrower
and more elongated all the while, and
now cuts have truly reached their cli-
max.
The effect of this tightness of skirt
and jacket is really not unattractive
when one -becomes accustomed to it. One
feels rather inclined to smile as suell a
figure approaches us, but there is some-
thing undeniably fascinating in the
picture. So much for education. How-
ever, the change has not been an abrupt
one. For the past fifteen months cos-
tumes have been growing more and
more skimpy, so we've bon brought to
the graduation point by slow stages.
High Collars Out.
All the best houses have now shown
their hands; in other words, have
disolosed to the public secrets they've
bon withholding so carefully. There is
nothing aecidedly new. Things are a
trifle more exaggerated, that is all. Col-
lars high about the neck have disap-
peared altogether, and this is really the
only innovation, and A decided innova-
tion this is, since the high, thoking
lar kas been with us so malty years.
The Little Dutch Collar.
The dainty Peter Pan collar and the
Dutch collar are leaders. The former is
a little turnover effect, like a miniature
sailor collar, sometimes made af -white
ottn embroidery, or else of the goods,
inished with French dots. The Dutch
ne is a littie collar round at the cor-
ers, leirtg Hitt an round. Then we have

GAUZE AND LACE
TUNICS AND COATS.
Smart Models Lately Seen That Show
the Popularity of Fabric Mixtures.
Ono of the most attractive gauze coats
with which so many gowns are being
veiled is made of gray chiffon plainly
finished around all the edges with an
ineh band of gray satin in the shade
of the gauze. The sleeves are cut in
one with the body parte of the garment
and are straight and close -fitting to the
elbows, where they encl. The fronts of
the coats do not meet, and. the sides
sive away toward the back. The coat
was shown in one of the Shops over a
rose-colorea gown; but it would be
equally effective .over other eolors.
Many gauze coats and tunics, says the
fashion writer of the. New York Evening
Sun, are cropping out. Gray and black
chiffon or net aro more used for them
than anything else, although white and
colors are also seen. The coats run into
tunic lines, and the tunice into coat
shapes, many of them veering away
from the sides without meeting at the
front at ail and falling in with the train
at the hack.
Chiffon, Lace and Net
For them, not only chiffon, but lace
and net are used, and some garments of
the kind are coming out in the new
filmy grenaclines and her voiles. The
liking for vivid colors, softened by veil-
ings, is strong this season. In the laees
used the fine silk ones of Chantilly or
mantle order are in the van. The chif-
fons and nets are braided as elaborately
as ever or are embroidered in bold
patterns with coarse floss in padded de-
signs. Such embroideries indeed trim
not only the silk and fine cotton gauzes,
but dlsa lingerie gowns and waists.
The Old Wheat Stitch.
The old wheat stitch, which is a
variant or direct copy of the cone
fagot stitch used by convent workers
on altar cloths in making wheat ears,
is one of the natural developmental of
the liking for coarse embroidery on
fine fabrics. This work, it might be
said, goes fast and is possible for the
veriest amateur with the needk. Pat-
terns stamped with scroll and other con-
ventional motives are lone entirety
itt this way, except for narrow lines
which are intended to suggest steins and
for the dots, which may be worked inte
eyelets or solid spots, The coarse floss
work may easily be accomplished on the
gauzes and thin silks with great effect
for small outlay of time and effort.
En Chantecter Pink and Black.

tunics: An entirely new outcropping of
the style is seen 111 sheer white cottoe

great mealy applications for inexperienc-

Owing to the early spring, there is

out of the city. The majority of the
epplications, however, are by letter. The
