Quaintness Marks Milady’s New Gown

Wide Skirts, Pannier, Victorian Bodice, Among Lat,est Fashions. Each generation finds the fashions of tl(e preceding one amusing. One has | only*To bring out some old photographs ‘ to appreciate the startling contrasts tn the styles of dress that are presented every few years, as fancy prompts changes. Hoop skirts look funny to the woman of fashion who is cultivating the match silhouette. Leg-o’-mutton sleeves seem deformities, now that the shape of the arm is shown. Our mothers' modest dress has a prudish provincial air when compared with the slight draperies of the classic Greeks and the decolletage of the early Frencn court style*. i So the wheel revolves, and often it brings back something that whirled past our eyes in the long ago. The mode of these days, tyrttes a fashion authority in the New York Times, leaves little to startle one in the dress . of the belles of ancient Greece, who would have been put to shame by the ultra-fashionable woman of this age. Only one thing is certain: Human nature is fickle in dress as in other matters. Changes will come, and their evolution is interesting tolSee. It seems to be recognized that nothing so unreasonable as the bustle or the hoop skirt, the steel corset or the powdered wig will ever again be accepted. But then, skirts have lately been far ?oo tight for either comfort or decency; ladies with “figures” would appear to better J advantage for somewhat of corsetting /and bobbed heads would have- looked bettey if their full quota of hair had been preserved, as girls having locks ; in an intermediate state can testify in their despair. Style Endures Long Time. That a radical change was due has long been evident. Since the complications in lines and trimmings began to be dropped a few seasons ago and dress grew so simplified that the word silhouette came into the modiste’s vocabulary, the one-piece and straightline gown has been almost universal. No style has ever been known to endure for so long a time. The new fashion rescued mother and grandmother from their paisley shawls and bonnets and caps, and benefited womankind generally. It created a feeljng for softness and delicacy in materials and for grace in draperies. Each radical change therefrom has been resisted. Some fundamentals remain; for examples, the lithe figure, the long, unboned waist, and the trailing draperies, unctinolined. Ruffles and ruchings, passementeries and fussy details ci» the handsomely patterned brocades of the latest modes would be impossible, and the flattery of a single line of color against the neck, to make the skin more fair and serve as a background for the necklaces. Is still appreciated. A woman *f fashion who is in the know, as most of her kind are. studies values in her dress, and whether the latest style is extreme or otherwise, modest or daring, it is not commonplace and it is not lacking in artistic quality. A complete novelty is introduced easily with a change in evening wear. Fancy dress bails, fetes and all th? costume affairs that so interest the smart set offer temptation to wear picturesque clothes and to impersonate the models of famous painters and the great ladies in history. When a woman has beheld herself as a creature of loveliness in panniers, crinoline or any distinctive type of dress. It is quire

Antique Jewels Displayed

Many of the specialty-shop windows hold trays filled with antique jewels, the most lovely old bits. Then are fragile sprays, necklace* and earrings of seed pearls, round pyramidal brooches of crimson garnets, diamond cut; pendants, lockets and bracelets in the original: unspoiled old designs of chased gold set with jewels, embellished with enamel. Most quaint of all ! are the corals, in the old-style branches, as pins and earrings. Scarfs Intended to be worn when furs are too heavy are shown in all the shops. They are of wool. In different weights, from shaggy Angora to light woven silk and wool b.’emW, and their colors are charming. They are a little over a yard In length, to wind about the neck and leave two onus hanging, some in plain colors, the newest In pretty plaids. One finds them in a variety of pretty shades—beige, cream, gray or tan. checked with blue, violet, orange, scarlet or green. The craze for fancy bags and purses , bring* out almost dally new designs. ]

Handkerchiefs, Bags and Other Novelties

Square* of colored linen all ready cut to make into handkerchiefs are not new, but square* that have stripe* of color woven into the linen Itself ar* a novelty of the season. These squares come in endless variety, both for men and women, and the colors ar* guaranteed not to fade. Some women finish them with a hem of hand bomstitching. while others crossstitch th* edge* and add a bit *f band embroidery to the corner. „ Very new indeed are veil* to wear with the Inevitable small hat These veils are made of very fine black mesh with chenille dots in bright color* for decoration.

usual in this day,, of individuality foi her to adopt it for her own. Some of the leaders of fashion is Paris and America are having theii evening dresses made after these picture gowns, adding greatly to the beauty of the dinner dances and balls with which society amuses itself. As the min-winter ideas are developed, styles grow more definite. Ventures of the early season pass, fads are eliminated and modes become, as it were, standardized. They are not all more or less after one pattern as they once were, however, but are original and diversified, and afford striking contrasts. At the moment, three distinct types of dress are much in vogue and are equally good. One is the wide, full skirt gathered at the waist on a plain little basque—a modern version of the Victorian period, opening, often, to show a petticoat of beautiful lace. Rich brocades in color, silver and gold are delightful in this model, and the frosty laces of flue silken meso and traceries of silver are lovely.*sewn in deep flounces on the underskirt, sometimes in a deep festooned ruffle com bined with French flowers. Quantities of Fringe. This model is very successfully made in heavy plain satin or faille, with an elaborate pattern of embroidery around the skirt and _a touch on the bodice. A costume of this sort has lately been presented by a notable Paris establishment in pale green, with skirt embroidered in a design of flow ers and leaves in silver, the design quite deep in the front, and graduated toward the back. A narrow band of kolinsky edges the hem and the open Ing of the skirt ns it parts over a panel cf white and silver lace. For evening or daytime wear a fascinating style of gown is distinguished by-quantities of fringe. The model by Callot is all In black. The foundation is a straght tube-like slio of black satin trimmed straight around with two rows of deep silk fringe, one row ah the bottom, the other below ♦he hip line. The gown is sleeveless, with a high batteau neck. A row of the fring¥ cascades from the shoulder down one side of the gown. ■* Callot levels in fringe, and In an other model of uncommon distinction and grace he uses a large deei>-fringed white Spanish shawl for the gown itself, over a plain slip of white satin. A part of the shawl is thrown across one shoulder; the-fringe hangs from the ends, and more of it 4s found about waist and looped’ loosely at one side. Renier, too. is enamored of the fringe gown, and I)as designed a most unusual example bf white crepe, edging a draped scarf, of which the sleeves are fashioned. A sasfi falls below the skirt, .with knotted fringe, all white, ten inches deep. - / ’fe Departing from the gowns of sheer materials and sdft lines, so tong'so -ure in their popularity. Is a chic, almost extreme model—a little frock of crisp taffeta made with a' minaret pannier effect.' The Idea has been de veloped in both daytime and evening gowns, and is much liked, one being shown in set in for afternoon wear. Another, done by Cheruit, is a slight variation of the original. It is a dinner gowu of- pale rose brocade, embroidered from ne«-k to hem with fln? beads <»f color and silver tn an oriental pattern The skirt Is slipper length wfid rather narrow. The tunie is flat, back and front, with a round neck and without sleeves. At the waistline at each side the skirt oi rhe overblouse is caught in a cluster of gathers dost to the figure, and lined with crinoline, flaring smartly «ut. The Camhoniaqi silhouette is another name for it Tht style is an example of Hindu and Chinese influence combined.

Another purse ot this type Is made of heavy red silk oraamented with a design of the same character in lacquer red enamel. Thes* are charming and absolutely new. Although the younger set is not tiring of the cloche, its unadorned surface seems to challenge the trimmers' art. Bit by bit the milliners are introducing motifs, bandeaux and veils and now. with a violent outpurst, has appeared a bonnet of feverish Egyptian feeling. It is more of a poke* la shape than tb* cloche.

First he had a talk with the Tret Sparrows. “We don’t mind the winter weather We eat seeds from old weeds whici we find sticking up above the snow/they told Billie -Brownie. “And it Is very seldom that we beg for. food around houses. We can mostly always provide fur ourselves. “Now we heard of a description ot | sparrows as told by some one whc knows all jabout birds,” the Tree Spar row talking explained to Billie Brownie, “and I shali give you that description for it is quite true and it wqs told well tn human Words. ’ “We were described as belonging to the same family as the Field Sparrows and Chipping , Sparrbws • belong to though the others do. pot stay around so much in the winter. “Now and again we have a fifld sparrow for a companion as we have much the same likes and dislikes but we do feel differently about the weather. “These are the words used to explain about us and our looas. ' ♦ , i . “Chipping Sparrow,has a black bill and Field Sparrow a red one during the summer but &hen the fall comes their bi’ls.are dull in color and lose their summer gorgeousness. “Field Sparrow wears a reddish coat while Chipping Sparrow wears handsome white touches above his L eyes. “Now I’m bigger in size than these •ther two. “1 have white touches to the wings and a dark spot in the center of my waistcoat' which I call my pet spot! “I dearly love that spot. "Sometimes we can sing quite sweetly. Butzl suppose we’re not famous for our /ibices. Anyway they say it is nice to see us about in the wintei time." i “I should say so,” Billie Brownlr answered, “and I thank you soWtfuch for having told me your story. It was enormously good- of you.” “Delighted to tell you it." said tht Tree Sparrow, with a pretty little trill to his voice. Then Billie Brownie went to call ob the Red-Breasted Nuthatch and there he heard of how these birds loved th* great forest though at times they wandered off to see other places to* and often they went for a trip with the Chickadee family or the WhiteBreasted Nuthatch. They told Billie Brownie of the lady who always put suet on a Hlac bush ,sc that her bird friends could have nice meals all through the winter. “We have blunt little tails and pointed bill*.” said the Nuthatch, "and that is really quite easy to remember. For one part of us te pointed and one-is not, and that to us seems very simple“We don't think anyone would and say, “‘Let us be on the I lookout for the birds with blunt bills and i pointed tails.’ “No, surely they will be on the look- ' out for the birds with the pofnted bill*
