HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1910-10-06, Page 2Again «zd again has it beeu tried to foist tlft short skirt evening gown under the ruise oi novelty, but always it has beevi defeated, and plincipally by the relsapproval of the Amen= woman. iSo close is the short skirt victory that already a train gown looks strangely out of dlate-almost awkward an fact - and even the most elaborate gown must show no real fall of material. For a restaurant or simple dinner gown of the newest fasnion dictate that the texture shall escape the floor by at least an inch, but the independent woman who has the courage to dicard the unbeeom- ing. will allow of a last of a two inch tram in back. For the tall and, slender, or for one of petite build, a short,. round, narrow skirt may be quaint or pieturesque,• but for all others the round skirt which touches the floor is infinitely better. Whereas most street costumes give a distinctly straight up and down effect to the wearer, all evening gowns on the contrary, emphasize round lines and dis- card the too straight and severe. The belt is round and the waist line is round, in contrast to the flat appearance lately so much to be envied. The skirt is distinctly round in every line, if this expression is permissible. The trimming may be laid from waist to Item, but there is always a band or many bands of late or ribbon or some other trimming to give the "bolster" picture. The plain, flat band of a heavy texture placed some six to ten inches up the width of the skirt has been too much used to remain in vogue, but the same effect is retained nevertheless by different means of manipulating the febrile and its trimming. Skirts aro all very much trimmed just at present -the style demends it and the materials employed make it possible. Ribbon and bands of silk and satin with falls and flounces of lace are all used, but the plain, rather fullskirt, tied in by a band or bands of satin, is already coming to the figure. The un- der dress must at all costs be perfectly fitted no matter how apparently loose and carelessly full the chiffon dress appears. Many a loose, softly draped gown forfeits all its charm because suf- ficient care has not been taken with title lining. For all materials and all styles of dress the favorite lining is to - an exceptionally soft, pliable satin. .Cream or pale rose color is the favorite tone for a gown that is not of trans- parent texture, but the delicate pink lining is also frequently used even with • such colors as dark blue or mauve chif- fon. Hotel life has changed considerably of late yee.rs, and with the immense many storied hotels has come naturally a greater formality, which shows its ef- fect in a much increased elaboration of dress as Wen as a lack of the old sim- plicity of the life of the hotel Commonity. It was oply a few years ago when, in even the most fashionable hotel at a popular watering place, a low cut even- ing gown made the wearer conspintoue, but to -day regulation evening dress is worn altogether. There is a difference in out, lieweeer, between a ball gown, a dinner fro* aril the style of costume that is in vegue for evening wear at a hotel or reetan- rant. Needless to state there is a fleted- edly extensive wardrobe require,' in these days by the woman who :ores to be • even suitably, let alone smartly, gowned for evening gayety. Nor is there the least use in attempting to get through the autumn with the even- ing gowns of the previous summer or spring. Styles have in every way altered completely, and hotel and restaurant life is nowadays so decided a feature of autumn existence that any such econ- omy is out of the question. Nowhere perhaps are the same num- ber of evening gowns required as are necessary for even a short sojourn at a ,large hotel. There must be variety that no one of the costumes shall be- come marked, There must be one or more real ball dresses for an occasional dance, and it is always safest to have at hand one gown somewhat simpler and perhaps high at the throat should the conventions of the community demand a less elaborate costume for Sunday evening wear. Exaggerated Dutch Yoke. The favorite cut of the simple dinner dress for hotel or restaurant is an ex- aggerated Duteh yoke. A square yoke is generally becoming, while the U. shape is somewhat smarter, the V in front unless cut quite low and filled in with chiffon being seldom worn now - days. A narrow U or square deeolletege, with a deep but narrow V at the back is smart, and indeed the long slender V line at the back is extremely pretty no matter what the exact cut of the decolletege in front. The chief difference, perhaps' between the cut of a ball gown and ofa dinner dress is that the shoulder line of the latter is some inches wider than of the conventional evening dress. Even when the bodice is cut quite low at the front and back the line will still be quite dis- tinct between the two modes. When it is impossible to cut an oblong yoke deep enough in front to give a good line then the deeolletege can always be filled in with flesh colored tulle, which can be used in combination with any shade and will make the gown more becoming. The sleeves are half length or some- what shorter in the majority of restau- rant gowns. Full 'length sleeves of trans- parent net or chiffon are more or less in fashion at all times in a simple even- ing gown, but the style is never a real- ly popular one, because so invariably unbecoming. The long sleeves seeta spe- dalle: ill-suited to the present style of evening dress with the skirt escaping the ground. Although to be seen in some few tnodels it is not likely to be gen- erally adopted for evening wear. Not for many a day has there been so ;gent liklihood of the short skirt captur- ing the stronghold of popular approval its is the ease of the present moment. Soft and Thin Textures. The majority of evening gowns this autumn, are of such extremely soft and thin texture that the wearing of an un- derskirt is obligatory. For this reason most of the newer gowns show an at- tached petticoat or lining, perfectly straight and plain, and fitting better to the figure than any separate skirt could be made to do. .. . In com-erison with the elaborate skirts of the moment the bodices are all somewhat simple in effect, if not in detail. Often there will be but a wide belt or half waist of the same material as the skirt, while the upper part will be of quite foreign texture, lace chiffon or, for example, satin with a net skirt. The out of date -the fashion was too much copied as a method of transform- ing a costume of a former season into an up to date creation. The elaborate ..underskirt with an overskirt of plain lace net, or chiffon, is still seen, but there is a return to the trimmed skirt rather than the veiled efete so abnor- • niftily popular ruing the last season. Chiffon, embroidered net, figured crepe, softest brocade and the many two toned silks are all in vague, for the Yet- teurant gown. No stiff or unduly limey textures are employed, for there is cell- eiderable draping in the newest modds and no draped model is practicable in a thick or unwieldy material. Shirring and gathering of the inaterial abut the waist and hips Inc also seen on the weal - els far those of slender build, but na matter how slender the wearer only a gauze or extremely soft and pliable Lib. rie can be shirred and gathered and must be as flat as it can be made to appear, and the sleeve is never an entire piece by itself. Either it con- nects with the uncler part of the bodice, forming a mandarin arm hole, or else the sleeve is carried up over the shoteder • cArIF OF SIL MUCH IN votaue FOR DRESSY 00CASIONS.

For an all whita gown the necessary character will be given by a deep pink vee, a buncb of poppies or a cluster of ewet peas festrued at the belt just as the eatural flowers would be woen. A, T. ASHMORE. VALUEOF HAVING FRESH NECKWEAR. Fresh, crisp neckwear will contribute more to the smart apearanee ofa youvg girl's costume than auy other small acessory, and the best of itp is that a great many of the new collars and frills may be easily made by an amateur at comparatively small expense. Very readily put together by hand are the Dutch collars of handkerchief linen in all white or with a narrow band of solid color. These are exceedingly pretty when worn in connection with a matching front plaid, side frill and turned over frill edged. cuffs and wonder- fully "dress up' a plain blouse of batiste or heavy linen. Many of these frill collars slope downward in front and are adjusted to waists having slightly turned back necks. Some of them omit merely of three to five inch wide plait - Jugs of finely embroidered mull, lace or net set into a straight band, which is basted inside the neck of a collarless blouse and allowed to spread flatly over the shoulders. There are combinations of white batiste, ecru lace or Persian mull with black satin the plaited frill being of the sheer material and the nar- row, shaped band collar of black satin, fastening beneath a little bow of the same fabric. A happy blending of the hid; and low collar •consists of a shaped band stock of lingerie beading -finished mull reading a five inch plaitedfrill, cut in deep points and finished with an edging of inch wide Valenciennes lace. This collar may be worn with A waist having a high, Dutch or cut-out neck. Wonderfully fetching with a simply made linen frock is a shoulder fichu of flowered lawn, plain -mull or net. They are cut with sailor collar backs and stole fronts or in the wide, doubled over oval shape, and finished with hemstitched borders or with lace edging. Or the net may be bordered at one edge with nar- row ribbon and finely plaited, beginning with a four inch width at the centre of the back and, gradually tapering into sharply pointed ends. FABRIC HATS. Black Velvet Chapeaux Are Among the Favorites. Fabric hats for the early autumn ate the latest whim of fashion, which dic- tates that millinery eompoesed of some kind of material shall hold pre-eminent sway, and in the term fabric are includ- ed a large number of plain and. figured stuffs. Perhaps the fabric hat that is to rank as chief favorite is velvet, and velvet, moreover, in its darkest shade; but as nothing proves more becoming to vont an's complexion than black velvet mil- linery, this should be received as good news by the feminine world. The predominance of black velvet this autumn for millinery is, of coursemere- ly the outcome of the craze for this fab- rics which was isi evidence during the summer, when even on tee wannest; da women were content to carry black velvet parasols and wear broderie An- glaise frocks combined with „black vet - vet. SOME COATS FOR THE SOHOOL GIRL. • • .-rrri.m.soirmimio While most school girls wear coat suits, many require an extra teat for very cold days and other wear such a.s motoring. A gteat many of these long coats which completell, cover the frock from sineck to hem, anid are niade in heavy eloth •with big fur collars, will be worn this winter, and may well figure where the business of providing the schoolgirl's outfit for the winter term is being carried out. Fut-lined Ooziness. A warm red coat made- with a big collar of oposIsum and a double row of large buttons, the coat being made in loose fiteng style with the sieves etitch- ed at the welst, supplies a very charm- ing and becoming garment,.

"He that had..five talents. , .. traded" (v. 16), One April Sunday a superintendent gave the mem- bers of his school eaelt five cents to be invested for missions. At Christmas time the children brought the money .they had made and their reports. Here is one, "I invested my five cents in a packa„,tva of squash keeds. Had four hills of plants from which' I sold squashes amounting to ninety-eight cents. Expenses of selling nine cents, leating eighty-nine cents. Then bought an article and sold it, clear- ing nine cents. In all ninety-eight cents." The commendation. "'Well done'good and faithful servant" (vs. 21, 23). Faith- fulness is the first requisite of a serv- ant. Faithfulness is a "fruit of the Spirit" (Gal. 5, 22, R. V.) To lid faith- ful is to be full of faith. That ph atriarc i of whose faith we read most s called "faithful Abraham" (Gal. 3. 9). The 'command is, "Bo faithful," never "Be successful." Moses was faithful in his .stowardship (Num. 12.7; Heb. 3. 2, 5). 'Samuel was "faithful" (1. Sam, 3. 20, margin). He spoke God's word 'faith- fully" (der. 23. 28). David was the most faithful of theservants of Saul. (1 Sam. 22. 14.) Daniel was faithful to his king and to his God (Dan, 6. 4). Paul's eulogy of his son in the gospel was, Timothy was "faithful in the Lord" (1, Cor. 4. 17). One of the names of Sams is, "The faithful witness" (Rev. 1.5). To be faithful here is to be crowned here- after (Rev. 2. 10). A son whose father lay dying said, "Father, gives me one word of condensed wisdom that I can remember and treasure." The dying man whispered the word, "Faithful.' "Thou hest been faithful over a few things" (vs. 21, 23), A missionary bishop of the Church of England in Africa was to speak at a missionary meeting in London; only three people attended. and the chairman proposed to give it up, but Bishop Steere insisted on speaking.

There was ifttle or no oere- mony to mark the historic events. In a brief address Prince Chun stated 'that the wish of the people was for a parliamentary government and he commanded the senators to labor to' this end. A parliamentary building of ample dimensions will be constructed, but pending its completion the sessions of the Senate will be held in ,the rather narrow quarters of. the law college. The lack of room was given as the reason for the exclusion of represen- tatives of the press from to -day's proceedings. The same rule was ap- plied to other outsiders not even the members of the foreign diplomatic corps being invited to be present. • Sr WOMAN ROBBER. Daring Female eld Up Citizens of Dauphin.
