STREATER. —A\_——_——_— THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA., SEPT. 26., i914. EFORE the clouds of war cast their ominous shadows, those cre- ators of styles in Paris to whom the world of Fashion looks for new ideas, had already launched some of their efforts. There is no gainsaying the wealth of ideas, the keenness of per- ception and the ingenuity of thesg aw- thorities. In this country we look to Three beautiful costumes, which will bear the most careful scrutiny, are shown in the snapshots taken of French women which are reproduced here. From the crowns of their heads to the tips of their shoes every detail of their clothes shows the exercise of good taste in the employment of new ideas. All the hats shown are of velvet with emall soft crowns and wide brims. They are all simply trimmed, and they foreshadow the styles that may become fashions. Already the cape coat is an assured success. It is pictured here worn as part of a suit over a skirt which is plain except for plaitings which drape it to the figure. The coat and cape in one suggest a waistcoat at the front and a full rippfed cape from the back. The garment is, in fact, a very clever evolution inasmuch as it introduces the waistcoat, the cape and the coat with wide revers, in a one-piece gar- ment. OT eall the coiffures that compel our admiration because thelr wearers look so well groomed are waved. Many women have the knack of ar- ranging the hair prettily about the face, who have never made the ac-| quaintance of the waving iron. Others curl only a small portion of the hair about the forehead and manage the rest without waving. A gimple and very pretty coiffure, | innocent of waves, is shown in the pic- ture given here. In it the hair Is combed to the top of the head, where it is coiled in a loose pointed knot and ornamented with large shell pins | get with rhinestones. The hair about the face is dampened and drawn down at each side, forming two large waves, which are pinned to place with invisi- ! ble wire pins. It is combed over the ! top of the ears and wire pins support it in two loose waves at each side of the tace. 1 | It is worn over a thin blouse hav- ing a very handsome, wide frill of lace about the neck, wired to stand up af- ter the fashion of the medici collar. The bag, gloves and uppers of the smart walking shoes are made to match the costume. é remarkably gleg'eg skirt appears in the costume, of colored taffeta with embroidery on the bodice and at the foot of the front panel in the drapery. The underskirt {s draped in about the ankles, suggesting the Turkish trouser inspiration. Over this 18 worn a short tunic cut with a long panel at the front. The bodice has a round neck fin- ished with a turnover collar of or gandie. A surplice front is indicated in its drapery, although the opening s arranged at the right side. This s covered by bringing the silk from the right shoulder to the waist line at the left side. The back of the bodice is extended to form a short yoke at each side ofthe front, and the shoul- ders are rather long. The full sleeves are set in and wrinkled about the arms. The fronts of the draped bodice are extended to form a loose girdle about the waist. There is almost no defini- tion of the waist line, which appears to be vanishing from our midst. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. ey | This style is adapted to a full and ratherround face and is especially good Tor her who possesses a pretty forehead. Another pretty uncurled coiffure is arranged by means of a pompadour which extends entirely across the top of the head. When the front hair has been combed over the support re- quired for the pompadour it is con- fined at the back with hairpins tempo- | rarily. A shallow part is made at the | left side of the forehead and the hair | combed toward the right, so that it sweeps across the brow. A eurving shell comb is inserted to hold this hair ! | in place. It extends from temple ‘to temple. ) | The hair is fluffed over the ears and | temples and held into position with | invisible wire pins. The back hair is | arranged in a coil at the crown, or | lower, according to its becomingness. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. MPROVE THE BLOUSE NUMEROUS SMALL ARRANGE- MENTS ARE OF WORTH. Properly Applied They Give Just the Effect Most Desirable, and Add So Much to the Ap- pearance. It is quite possible to glorify a blouse you are not particularly fond of by means of such cunning devices as the little vest arrangement illus- trated here. This one is really not much more than a pair of jumper straps run over the shoulder and broadened be- low the bust, simulating the lines of a vest. The two pointed tabs extending below the belt complete the effect. It s made of a stenciled chiffon backed with white net to give it body, and is put on over the blouse. In back the straps do not broaden out as in front, but are kept narrow and cross over each other at the center. The blouses that such little vests are worn with must bo of sheer batiste or net, or the desired effect will be lost. Satin velvet and plain or flow- ered taffetas are other popular mate- rials to make up the vests in and in any color desired. With its customary inconsistency fashion suggests turning about this idea of the silk or chiffon vest with the net or lacy blouse, and fashions a vest of net or lace to wear with the silk blouse. No doubt the idea will be played up in many interesting ways before the summer is over, for it certainly has desirable possibilities, and by being well supplied with all such dainty trifles one can almost establish a reputption for being ex- ceptionally well dressed this season. [ | COAT DESIGNED FOR FALL i Distinctive in Shape, and Calls for Much More Distinct Outline of | the Figure. I The first striking novelty is a long, coat, tight fitting and calling for al more defined figure than we have in-| | dulged in for some years past. Below the walst it widens into full skirts, like) the old redingote, and the skirts have| sometimes a shaped flounce to giv them even greater fullness. It fastens| right up to the throat in front, and| from the waist downward it opens and| falls away at either side. This is the) type of coat that will presage the au: tumn fashions. IDEA FOR HANGING CURTAINS Simple Notion, but It Is Well Worth Remembering When the Work Is to Be Done. Simple notions are often very valus able little notions, and the accompany- ing diagram illustrates a good method by which curtains may be hung with- out going to the expense of buying a rod and rings; and for temporarily| hanging curtains or perhaps for a) { spare room this idea will be found| ! very useful. It merely consists of a number of staples, fastened a few inches apart into the woodwork just above the win| dow. The curtain hooks may be slipped into them In the manner shown in the illustration, and the curtains mai_bg put up or taken down quite as easily and quickly as from a rod and rings. Fairly large staples should be used, and staples suitable for the pur- pose can be purchased at any {iron- monger's a the cost of about a penny a dozen; and If the staples are painted the same color as the woodwork they will scarcely be visible. Fur Pashions Declded. Fur fashions are already decided. Small neckpieces of fox, marten and lynx, also fur fancies in ermine and white coney are to be in great demand. Broad stoles of seal or muskrat are to be worn, Transparent Sleeves. Long, tight, transparent sleeves, from shoulder to knuckle, are featured on some of the newer afternoon frocks. Black and white lace can be used for theso sleeves, and 80 can tulle. Much change in the colorings of frocks and hats is looked for before long. As we are borrowing inspiration for our faehions from the last century, 80 shall we borrow its colors, and the old-fashioned tints of our grand- ° mothers’ frocks, under new names, will be used by the modern dress- makers.
