The Wingham Advance, 1910-07-28, Page 2In Paris a Iew of the leading coetum- ere are advocating for evening, gowns a ekirt which either jaet toneliee or just escapes the ground back and front alike, Among American women, however, this tea never proves popular, and the gowns imported here have all been modified iu this respeet with an eye for American trade. For the young gal a ball dress which reacnee the floor all around, bat We no train to interfere with dancing, is pretty and bcconung, but after hee first year or two "out" she will not care for this style of skirt in the evening. The lashione of the moment are nmet confusing. One of the very newest mod- els will. stow a high Waist line and exag- geratedly narrow skirt, while the neet one, which also in its way is dediglitfuley smart, will show a oormal waist and a skirt really quite full about the his and not caught in at all at the knees or an- kles. Which etyle to credit and adopt is the question. Evening froeks are more fixed than any other department of dress. In the majority of the smart ball and dinner gowns. ithe waist line is somewhat high and round, the skirt suggests more full- ness than it really possesees and in met models there is an overskirt which holds in the satin underdress. Occasionally, instead of the foundation being fairly wide and the averdress of net or chiffon narrow, the reverse is eeen, a narrow un. derskirt hanging very straight, having a 'tunic above which is almost full. No matter how simple the bodice the lower pint of the gown must give an ef feet of considerable adornment. A soft clingiag ,charmeuee may have a bodiee formed only of soft folds of lace forming waist and sleeves alike, but from the high belt to the wide, plain band at the hem the satin is a mass sef finest crystal embroidery just visible throu,eli a deep overskirt or tunic of lace, To hold the lace down and keep the clinging linee of the model the lace ie bordered with a band of the skirt embroidered as the un. derskirt. Chiffon or Lace Drapery. While the gowns of the present mo- ment are all much trimmed, waist and skirt alike, it is the soft shrouded ef- fect given by the chiffon or lace draping which is so attractive and. so decidedly a feature this year. With heavy ma- terials it is a mistake to attempt the chiffon draping, but in the delightfully soft and stipple satins and. silks that have been evolved by the mazufaeturers at Dame Fashion's demand it would be difficult to arrive at results that were not good. All fashions, but especially these_relating to evening gowns, require clever adapting to suit the individual figure. The so-called heart shaped. cut of the deeolletage is just as pretty if there is a small V of net or lace insert- ed, should a square cut neck be more becoming than the pointed. The arm- less sleeve or wide mandarin armhole can also. be modified. and .suggested more in the manipulation of the trinuning than actually worked out in the sleeve itself, Then again, if ts narrow shoulder line is not becoming, or if one is blessed with a sloping instead of a square shoul- der, the effeet can always be obtained by placing a narrow ruffle at the top of the sleeve or at the place where the top of the .sleeve would be ordinarily. In regard to the waist line, an impercepti- ble dip in the centre of the front and. a searcely noticeable narrowing of the belt just under the arms will do much to- make the waist lok email and rounh 11, agaiu, the true waist &tumid be retained, but if exceptionally long, the empire style can be carried out with great success. Ii the hips are Ho flat as to arouse the envy of all wonmekind, then there can he real fulness in both underskirt and overdress AS well, But if the figure cannot boast of this much to be desired quality, then the gown itself must be most carefully fitted at the waist line .and auout the ldps, and just a little shirring permitted. in the very soft chiffon or marquisette over-, dress. Still Another important item I8. itt regard to the °nett of height to be obtained. A tall woman ma stand o :harp line about the knees, but this is homul to cut the figure, and. it it Is de- eired to give height this Due must be placed. lower down on the skirt and must *ot be too strileing in color. A , long skirt will always give heiglit where a short skirt will shorten the figure. Only the softest net or lace must be used. for an overskirt or for purposes of drapieg. The chances that a stiff net will lose its body after a few wearings and fall in grawful, clinging lines are doubtful, And with a, naturally stiff net there is not much hope of really fitting it to the fashions of to -day, Soft Satin and Silk. Seftest satin and silk combined with chiffon, voile -de sole or lace are lade. eeribabey charming, and one never tires of the dIferent changes that can be rune en the original model, In paie pinkish mauve satin is a most charming gown; ehe skirt wider than any model As yet exhibited, the overskirt of pleated chif. on of the seine ;color is not exquisitely embroidered in silk flowers of different shadee of mauve; a wide belt end the upper part of the waist and the sleeves are of the same embroidery, but other- wise the effect of the gown is charm- ingly simple. The same model copied in pink is also most satisfactory, and in pale blue, with blue waive mormeg, glories, is au exquielle piece of coloring.. A most elaborate style of evening ;sown is also of ehiffon and satin, bet en elaborate and. costly Met all effect of daintiness is hickingn. An immensely wide belt or girdle of heavily brocaded silk is most novel in deeign, and while a most trying fashion for a stout Venue is extremely becoming to anyone who is slender and has a small waist. Orientel in coloring is the helve, silk embroidery worked on black or blue. while the neli white laceat the top of the wait makes the model becoming, no matter metal: the color of the worn. It is rather a heavy 'looking gown, or would be if ase heavy fabric were need, but voile de sole, chiffon or any treneaprent fabric., such as is popular the Reason, never of a deeper shade of %liver ;grey satin C -ray is an unusual weir fee an even ing gown, but is smart this glimmer, anl when becoming is immensely so; a most attractive design is of the fineet Over gray- silk tulle with fitecinaLinee embroia- ery of silver and. paillates. An odd ef- fect is given by the band of velvet around the hem of the skirt tied also on the waist wben in front ib is •fiinshed with a double velvet bow; the lining ie of a deeper shade of silver grey sitter' that contrasts perfectly with the bine velvet ribbon. Tulle gowns are nowt appropriate to the eummer season and are more and more popular all the time. but the colored tidies are thouoht mueh smarter than white. When white ig chosen almost invariably there is the colered lining to give some trine of color Brocade and. Net. Brocade seems more appropriate In winter than summer, but this season brocade -evening gowns are most popular and in coloring and deeign are certainey delightfully effective. Embroidered net tunics over brocade make the emerteet ef dinner gowns, and. the embroilered lace nets are exquisite in design. A goon of blue and gold brocade hasea tunic and waist of figured lace embroidered in gold .end the effect of this over the bromic is most exquisite in coloring.

Persian Plumes. Plumes printed, in Persian colors are one of the novelties of the season. Cash. mere, Paisley or Persian designs and colorings are more used in millinery than for many years. And in dressmaking they are being used so freely that their loss of caste is easy to predict. Lovely thin stuffs, such as chiffon and chiffon cloth, aro printea in these schemes and are used over plain colors for the little jumper waists, for tunics, coats and the like. ' Ye Waistcoat. All sorts of little waistcoat slinula- tions are in evidence. One of the most becoming- seen recently was of royal blue satin matching the buttons and button- holes of a natural Shantung suit, An- other was an adjustable affair, that could be worn or not made of the popu- lar bright seed, toned doWn with black braid, and buttons. It went with a blue suit. Blue and red together trim some of the neutral -toned costumes, especially the natural linen or Shantung color. MERCERIZED. Everything it. And it lasts some.

Among their classmates weresome whose gowes cost from $50 upward, but it was said that the dollar gowns looked every whit as dainty as their more luxurious rivals, and coulci not be distinguished by the committee delegated to discriminate between them. This lecident is only one of many that indicate a radical reform in the matter of commencement cos- tumes for girls. The elegance And. elab- oration of these gowns during relent years were alarming thoughtful observ- ers; but in many of our high schools warnings have beett issued on the sub- ject, AvItile at Wellesley, Byrn Mawr, Monnt Holyoke and other colleges, strine gent rules were made this year eoneern- ing the cost of graduating gowns, At Bryn Mawr the speeifications were most minute, the very height of each collar and character of each tie being indicat- ed. This movement for economy among our gills is an encouraging sign of the times. -The Christian Herald. LACE FLOUNCES.

The fundamental moral principle in God's kingdom is right- eousness.

The servant was a ruler of a pro- vince or some other portion of the king's domain and was entrusted with the raising of the public revenue, and in keeping back the tribute he might become thus greatly indebted to his sovereign. This sum repre- sents a debt so great that there would. be no possibility of discharg- ing it, and thus represents our in- debtedness as subjects to our king. 25, had not wherewith to pay (R. V.) -1-le had collected the revenue and misused it, and therefore was bank- rupt. We are bankrupt also, having nothing wherewith to pay our debt to our Sovereign.

WOMEN WALK mm....1.•••••••••• Woman Suffrage Societies Hold Huge Demonstration in London. Tens of Thousands of Women, tiarbed in White, With 40 Bands. 0.1*•••• London, July 24. -There was a gi- gantic demonstration by Woman Suf- frage societies in London last even- ing. Two great processias were organ- ized. One was mobilized in Holland Park and the other on the Themes Em- bankment. The processions mitrchea to Ilyde Park, where from forty platforms noted women leaders of the Suffragette movement made addresses. Tens of thou- sands of women, me majority of them gowned itt white, marched under the greee, purple and white banners of the cause. Mrs. M. Drummond, astride. a h.orse, conunanded the joint processions. The women tramped to the music of forty hands. A feature of the procession was a body of 017 women who had suffered for the cause. Rev. Die Anna Shaw, of New 'York, commanded a group of Americans, who marched under the Stars and Striper and. carried banners inscribed, "Women vote in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Ida. - Ito." Rev. Anna, Shaw denounced to a reporter the hypocricy of English poli. tieians. She said: "We women can admire men who resolutely and openly oppose our cause. We have nothing but contempt for those who privately say they are in our favor, but when it comes to a, vote in Parliament oppose a mea- usre which we favor.' At half -past six o'clock the great crowd in Hyde Park was silenced by fanfare of bugles. A resolution pledging undying fealty to the cause was moved horn the forty platforms and was car- ried enthusiastically.
