" THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAK ELAND, FLA., SEPT. 9, 1914. e e e e T | Fall Styles for Little Girls ;' ATHER as a suggestion than as coples to be exactly followed, these two dresses designed for little girls are shown here. American adapta- tions of French clothes for children usually show greater length of skirt and somewhat more fullness than the | sign. original designs. The little dress de- signed for the tiny girl is so Dllhl in the body as to be boylsh, thg tancy decoration in lmoeked k o sleeves and collar, and the puffing ot the sleeves, places it as a girl's dress. The mlterlll used is a checked vel- veteen. The little garment is cut with a long shoulder and made over a mus- lin body. The back is plain, but the front is cut wide enough to be gath- ered into scant fullness along the shoulder seams and about the neck. The shoulders extend over the sleeves, which are set into the body. There 18 a narrow collar extending from shoulder to shoulder. This is made on a plain silk foundation covered with smocking of the same silk and finished with narrow soutache braid about the edge and along the center. A decoration of the same sort is placed across the puffed sleeve and finishes it at the bottom.

There are numbers of these new developments in outer garments, which suggest a cape and are the results of its inspira- tion. It is only possible to make them by securing a pattern. This garment, like all others of the same character, is lined with a plain soft silk. Its only decoration appears about the cuffs and in the three fancy buttons with simulated buttonholes at the neck. A touch of vivid color enlivens this plain dress. It is introduced in a scarf of Roman stripe ribbon at the neck. The usual collar of gainty or- gandle, which is so often the part of misses’ dresses, finishes this one. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Since the materiale of which the Useless Clothes. : According to the united opinion of doctors and race experts we eat too much, and it might be wisely added that nearly every woman buys too many clothes. Each woman will deny this assertion with emphasis, because she remembers the frequent occasions for which she had nothing to wear. She has bought too much, however, when she has two useless suits or frocks hanging in the closet. Half the secret of ill buying is the random method adopted. One sees a ' thing in the shop and buys it inde- | pendent of its immediate usefulness in the wardrobe. Fashion in materials | changes almost as quickly as fashion in silhouette, and the thing bought merely because it might serve at some time rarely finds its place in the scheme of good dressing. Airy Nightclothes Hygienic. Since there has been such an outery against the style of clothes worn by | men and women (in what is virtually a ! torrid climate during the summer‘ months) because of the unhy; gleniel warmth, especially in men’'s clothing, a | crusade has been begun against night- | clothes. One authority claims that pajamas are too restricting for wear | except when traveling, as in the caso | of commercial men, who change their | beds nightly and are exposed to tem- perature changes. For once it ’ claimed that women dress more sen- sibly than men, as eheer cool nlghl-‘ | @wns are hyglenic and allow ventila- : tion, so inducing refreshing sleep, es- pecially when the gown is sleeveless. » -~ ..

And now that we have gold and silver tissues, silver spangled nets, and gauzes striped with tinsel, designers have been quick to seize upon these new fabrics and to make alluring head decorations of them. These little caps are also to be worn | to the theater and called “opera caps” ‘ as well as “dancing caps.” They are worn with fancy meckpleces of ostrich [ finished with ribbons. A cap and neck- plece like those illustrated here are wonderfully effective and brilliant. For decorating evening caps of this i kind tassels of silver or gold filigree, i or little balls, are used. To add a little touch of color smaill flowers of j silk or satin ribbon are most often employed. But the matter of decora- caps are made are so brilllant one should be careful to use very little in the way of trimmings on them. The popularity of caps of this kind is assured. They are more brilliant than any coiffure. They do not have to be removed at the theater, and at the dance they keep the hair in place. But above all they are amazingly be- coming, as full of dash and brilliance as a diamond. Ostrich neckpieces are not very long and are made up in white and all the light colors, and in the natural colors. The latter are more generally useful than others because they are suitable for afternoon wear as well as for evening. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
