There are many effective coat tafl arrangements of lace in this last ciass, the lace perhaps forming ilchu drapery on the front of the bodice er mcrely making a wide col- lar over the shoulders and then de- | scending to form the little coat taile in the back. Wing sleeves of fine lace have been revived and are seen not only om robes d'interieure, but on dinner and evening gowns. Many of the smart- est dinner and formal evening frocks have their bodices entirely of fine lace and tulle or chiffon, while the draped skirts are of satin or other heavier material. Peplum details are often introduced with a bodice or blouse of lace and panels or tunio * «¥ ELAND, FLA,, APRIL 11, 1913. NEW EVENING FABRICS' a FASHICN'S LAST WORDS AS TO CLINGING MATERIALS, Apparel Must Be Light, Beaded Nets Being the Heaviest of All Wear That Has the Approval of the Designers. Qualities of rich material, softly draped and wound around the figure, compose the new ovening gOwDS, which are exquisitely lovely—and the despair of the amateur dressmaker. Almost any woman with a knack for sewing could cut and hang one of tke two distinct forms. One model is draperies of lace continuing the 1ace | ;nort.waisted Directoire gowns which merely a large-sized silk bandanna knotted at the corners into a shape to fit the head, and easily rendered larger | or smaller to suit the coiffure. An-' other form of the draped golf cap is made of a square of soft but thick silk, attached to a foundation band, shaped to it smoothly about the crown of the head, is covered with heavy .ilk embellished with embroidery floss or braided with finest soutache, and to its upper edge across the rear half is tulled one side of the silk square. When the remainder of the handker chief is brought forward and tacked down to the front’of the head band and the two loose corners are joined under the hair at the nape of the neck, ' the effect is that of a Dutch cap and vastly becomes a youthful face. | Collar of Ivory Squares. For a young girl to wear with a ' dancing frock a dog collar of carved ivory squares is a very delighttul thing. Or the squares may be of gold | set with turquoise matrix. : | FRILLS ARE TO RULE SLIGHT DEPARTURE FROM THE PREVAILING STRAIGHT LINES. Individual Ideas Likely to Govern Fashions to a Greater Degree Than for Many Seasons— Lace and Chiffon. With the coming of the cold weath- or and the advent of the velvets, furs, otc., there will be an increase in the fmportance of heavy lace, but for eve ning and house .wear the fine laces will be in demand, and everything seems to point to a season of frills and flufiness, though women are not ltkely to get as far away from the straight lines as some of the fore casters would have people believe, The eighteenth century modes are gaining ground, but there is no hard and. fast rule about periods nowadays and women can wear pretty much what {8 most becoming and pleases , them mest if they are able to find t.hc1 <cong or tell a story.

If frills and flounces are becoming and suit a woman's style, then the fine laces are the thing, and even where one does not go in for that sort of thing the fine laces are avall- able for the most clinging of drap- eries and the most simple and severe of lines, says a New York Sun writer. Chantilly, both black and white; Alencon, Mechlin, point de’'Angleterre —all the filmy laces that are grouped under the head of French laces or | “fancies”—are used in a multitude of ways. Sometimes a wide panel of lace, plain or draped, starts between the ghoulder blades and is allowed to fall free over the skirt or is draped to the skirt. The lace may start higher, at ! the shoulder seams, or it may begin on the front of the bodice, be drawn over the shoulders and down ina V | to the waist line in the back and then SPRING IS HERE With Its Cheer and BATES is also here with the finest in all South Fl If you’re orida. not a regular custom: HABIT”---you’ll find great bargain BatesDepartme: STORE CLOSES AT 6:30 P.

I USE FOR RIBBON REMNANTS | Make Aitractive Serviette Bande When They Are Carefully Put Together. | Smal! ribbon remnants have @& knack of collecting in large numbers, | and it is not easy to find useful plll"! poses to which they may be put. One good way in which pieces of strong | ribbon about seven inches in Ienxth‘\ and two inches in width may be uti- lized is the making of serviette bands to take the place of the ordinary | rings. In the accompanying sketch we show a band of this kind, and the cibbon should be cut into a point at one end, lined with sateen and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon, or a fine silk cord may take its place it preferred. It can be made to fasten | either with a small button or button- hole, or a snap fastener cut from an old glove may be used. An {nitial or number can be worked in the center of the band in some etrongly contrasting shade of color. The upper sketch shows the band spread out perfectly flat, and in the lower illustration it is shown bent into shape and fastened together. As these little articles can be eas- fly made at a very trifling cost, they should not be forgotten at those times tet aside for preparing work for ba- zars. Embroidery Freely Used. ! Lingerie dresses show combinations of embroidery and maline laces; twenty-seven-inch embroidery flounc- (ng, forming tunics or skirt draperies, ' s mounted on accordion plaited ba- tiste or mnet foundation skirt. All- over embroidered batiste and cotton crepes form entire dresses. Fashionable Coiffure. At present the most fashionable | style of coiffure, compieted with a | chort Hght fringe resting on the fore- | hiead, demands a circlet or bandeau of some sort. For day wear this may be in dark or blonde tortoise shell | hut for evening there is nothing move | Yeeoming than diamonds, Judged by Written Words. *You don’'t know a woman until you have had a letter from her— Tepderhooks,” by Ad» Leverson. Ermine Scarf and Muff, have been in vogue during the past two scasons, and it was not a difficult | matter to add a soft, dragging little train— round or pointed. But the new costume, combining satin, brocade, fur, metallic net or chiffon, and much ! lace, is another thing entirely, and skillful hands are required to con- coct from all these contrasting stuffs a gown that shall combine exquisite simplicity, of line and the perfect grace that hides, yet reveals the fig- ure bencath, Fortunately, the new evening fab- rics are exceedingly soft and clinging, and even a gown of velvet brocade draped over a petticoat of satin, does not weigh more than a half dozen pounds, while the lace and satin dane- ing gowns may he measured in weight by ounces. The beaded nets are the heaviest of all the new evening fabrics and the bead fringes add appreciably { to the weight of the chiffon and lace tunic, but there is a wonderful light- ness and ethercal charm about most of the evening costumes of the sea- s0n. Sometimes lace flounces and dra- peries are used ever colored silk or satin, the favorite shades for these “gshow-through” effects being the new yellow and pinkish red tones like saf- fron, apricot, pale coral and geran- fum. All the yellow tones in demand for evening wear—especially a very brilliant orange-yellow, called “burnt onion.” Black Chantilly lace is used lavishly over white charmeuse and satin meteor. Usually a red rose or broad bands of black velvet ribbon | imparts the distinctive note to these | lace-veiled costumes in black and | white. Narrow band trimmings of fur are ! used on chiffons, and even laces and sometimes a band of fur gerves as a | shoulder strap, instead of the more familiar band of rhinestones or pearls, ick of goods ‘GET THE Store IST. | attractiveness upon simplicity perfection of line are trimmed solely | | with a narrow fur edging on the tunic.

Will you kindly answer this budget of questions? Can a girl of fifteen years wear an aigrette, and how should it be worn, low on the neck or stand- ing straight up? Is this word pro- nounced gingham's or gingham? Are coats more stylish than coat suits for juniors? What kind of shoes are worn for evening wear? Should a lady re- move her glove when shaking hands with a gentleman or lady? Are large collars on coats more stylish than small ones? Which should take the lead when passing anyone on the side- walk, the girl or the boy? Where ! should the girl walk when she is with | | her brother and one of her boy fricnds ' 18 going with them? How long should . a girl of fifteen wear her dresses and ! how should she wear her hair, if_she §hu not much of it?—“Brunette.” ' I you are going to a formal party I "think you might wear an aigrette in your hafr, but I would rather see a ribbon bow or a flower. Wear it which- ever is most becoming; the style right now seems to be low on the side, the ends sweeping downward. Either ginghams or gingham is correct. Both coats and coat suits are worn llld; { either are perfectly correct and up-to- date. Slippers usually match party gowns, and are either of satin or kid. | However, black satin slippers may be ! worn with any frock, or patent leather. 1 Gloves are not removed when a lady shakes hands. Both large and small | i collars are worn, as the fashion plates show you, if you will look them: over.' If in a crowd the boy takes the lead to clear the way for the girl, otherwlse | it makes no difference. The girl walks on the inside, not between the two men. Dresses are worn a bit below the shoe tops, although the length of skirts always depends upon the height of the person. About your hair, I can only say, as I say to all girls, try to do it the most natural and the most becoming way. | 1 Not for Me to Decide, Your columns have been so helpful to others [ would like to have your ad- vice. I have been going with a boy for nearly a year. We go out riding on our bicycles and in buggies. Neither one of our mothers object, but the peo- ple talk about it. Would you advise us to listen to what the people say if {our mothers do not object? Is it wrong for me to let him kiss me good. +night? Please answer through your columns and oblige.—Mary Louise. | Seems to me, even if your mothers do not object, that I would be careful | not to go out too often with this boy. | 1t 18 not nice to be unpleasantly talked i about. When there are mothers to consult I never lay down any positive rules, but I must say I would not let “him” kiss me good-night. He has no right to your kisses and he should not ask to do it. Of this I am perfectly sure. [le good friends and comrades und Kkeep the love-making out until | you are both of age. For a Holiday Wedding. At a wedding which is to take place on the 26th of December, at the coun- try home of the bride, what will be ap- propriate for decorations? The cere.

Wedding bells of holly should be ruspended every- where they will hang. Decorate the plates holding the ice cream with wreaths of holly and have bell-shaped | boxes ornamented with sprays ot the | glossy leaves. In fact this is a beautl- ful time for a wedding, for everything may be worked out in the decorations in a most charming manner., The Proper Thing to Do. Please give me the following Infor mation: We have received an invita tion for an “at home.” The card reads: “Mr and Mre. John I'rown, Mrs. Wm. | Smith, Miss Brown.” low many and | what cards must I send? s any other message necesgary’?— Mabel. No message is nhecessary save thc! sending of three of your cards and three of your husband's, to arrive on the day of the reception, if you cannot | go; inclose them in"a card envelope | and address to “Mrs. John Brown.* I i think it polite to accept if you are | going, for hostesses like to have some { idea for how many they have to pre- | pare to serve. This Is the Meaning. Will you please tell me what “P, P, C.” means when written on the Jeft hand side of a calling card and sent through the mail?—M. H. “P. P. C.” means “To take leave.” It is the French “Pour prendre conge.” The sending of the card shows thal the person did not have time to vall in person before her departure and if she ever returns you owe the first call.
