That Change, and the Style of the Skirt, Are the Principal Differ ences in the Prevailing Fash- lons—Blouse Styles. The skirt and the decolletage are the principal points of divergence from the styles of the last 15 years, and it will be interesting to watch the fur- ther development of this fashion. Ev- erywhere one sees strong evidence that bodices are growing less trans- parent and the fashion for covering the upper part of the figure with opaque material is progressing. Prob- ably by the springtime the use of tulle and chiffon will be greatly reduced. The Paris designers forestalled this when they showed in their wartime openings the bodices of cloth or velvet for day wear that extended from a line below the waist to the neck, leaving only a splash of white below the ! ears. This movement may be in keeping with the glorified Moyen-age which w2 adopted in a wholesale way in July; it may be the period of the long body line, the girdle at the hips, the wrist- length, tight sleeves and the univer sal use of colored velvets in deep, rich tones brightened by lavish han- dling of colored jets to imitate jewels. Whatever the reason, it is the strict- ly new note to watch develop. Thn:| employment of the fabric straight up ' to the collarbone without the inter-! vention of a thin material is sure to win out ~ Already the separate blouse of colored chiffon to go with a skirt of cloth looks out of tune with the newest fashions. If one wears a suit instead of a one-plece frock the blouse chosen for it must give the superficial appearance of a continuation of th® skirt. It is this fashion that has suggested to women to give the preference in their winter clothes to the street frock of cloth worn under a fur coat or dol- man or long cloth cape. It has be- come more and more difficult to man- age a separate blouse with a cloth skirt that is cut off at the waist line proper. ‘When the suit is for every-day usage and to serve the most informal pur- poses then the wash blouse of white muslin with a collar that stands up, no matter how, is the appropriate ad- dition; much more g0 than the orna- mental waist of chiffon or silk or sat- ADAPTED FOR SEWING-ROOM “Stitch-in-Time” Board Will Se Found ! o Practical Use and a Pretty Decoration. A dainty and decorative “stitch-in- time” board is a thing that should find a place in every home, and it is also a useful article to give as a small present. Boards of this kind can be made in a great number of different shapes and forms, and in our sketch | may be seen a particularly neat and ornamental board for hanging upon the wall at some convenient spot where the articles it contains may be ready to hand whenever they are re- . quired. | For making it. cut out a diamond- shaped piece of stiff cardboard, meas- | uring six and a half inches each way. ! This card is smoothly covered on both sides with pale gray watered silk, the material being cut out in two pieces, stretched tightly across and sewn to- gether at the edges, which are after- wards finished off with a pale pink | silk cord, arranged in three little loops on either side and again at thei | i 1 top and bottom. A flat oblong cushion, | covered with pale pink silk and edged with a fine claret-colored silk cord car- ! ried into three little loops at each cor: ner is made separately and sewn on in the center of the board. The up- per edge of the cushion is left free 80 that a small pair of scissors can be slipped behind it in the manner il lustrated. On either side of this cushion, two reels of cotton, one black, the other white, are suspended with loops of narrow pale pink ribbon. At the low: er point a small pocket is sewn into a, little frill at the edge, ip which a, thimble may find a place, and a long - lQog of paie pink Fibbon, With & bow at the top, is attached to either side of the board by which it may be sus | pended from a nail in the wall. | = e NEW VOGUE - IN NECKWEAH: More Severe and Unornamental Style Seems Likely to Replace | Dainty Collars, Becoming as the dainty lingerie col- lar doubtless is, it is just about time that we had a change in neckwear. The change may be of a kind regret: ! ted by many, for it will possibly be' toward a much more severe and unor namental neck line. Many of the new evening frocks have a line singularly ‘| bard, and so have afternoon frocks.| Turquoise Blue and Silver Gown. Turquoise blue silk frock with a silver lace petticoat, and with straps and frills of blue tulle over the shoulders, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPAP AP PAPPIG In, although one may be compelled to also have a fanciful affair on hand in case of a luncheon or a tea to which one wears this coat and skirt. If one wants to simulate a frock by adding a self-toned blouse to a skirt when the coat is off, one might do well to consider the claims of that new style of cloth jumper that is slipped over a soft silk lining with long sleeves, This blouse is easily accomplished by utilizing a piece of the skirt ma- terial and binding it with braid or silk or velvet ribbon Its juncture with the separate skirt is hidden wm- der a broad belt of braided cloth. Another type of blouse that deceives one into thinking in terms of one-piece frocks instead of coats and skirts is a wrinkled garment, purposely wrinkled, of soft grosgrain silk the color of the skirt It fastens down the front with covered buttons and either turns up at the hem in imitation of a middy blouse, or loses itself in a sash which is finished at the back with a flat bow to carry out the tailored idea. Broadcloth and Satin. Broadcloth and satin are much com- bined. For instance, there will be a skirt of broadcloth with a bodice of satin. Plaid broadcloth is also used. But it is plaited in dull deep colors. These colors, which are employed in the season’s plaids and stripes, are in- finitely more pleasing than the vivid, garish colors used last year. Ttz T RS And not long ago Madame Cherult wore a gown of gabardine, with a it tle vest of chiffon of the same color The bodice of the frock was cut away at the back of the neck and on the shoulders two or three inches from the lower line of the throat and the ohiffon vest extended around the back, filling in this space left bare by the bodice with a perfectly straight piece of the chiffon. Some faces and figures can stand this flat, straight line at the neck, but most look far better in the high, rolling collar that has been so popular. DICTATES OF FASHION Some of the new jackets are made with belts showing in front, but hid- den at the back. Buttons generally sew on from be hind. They are large and flat, convex or ball-shaped. Trimmings are sparingly used. Braiding is reserved for the ornamen- tation of the belt and straps. Wine-colored velvet suits are trimmed with cords of the velvet and buttons embroidered with steel beads. Most evening coiffures show the hair dressed so closely to the head as to give a certain severity of out- line. Long-ha'red, cream-colored plush is used for evening wraps and is lined with brocaded crepe in vivid colors. Selvages in Fashion. Selvages are more fashionable than ever, it seems. The French couturiers and their American imita- tors delight in using breadths of rich silk and handsome cloth with un- hemmed edges, tnd the selvages make a very graceful finish as a rule, blending more softly with the lines of the costume. A Parisian dinner frock has a width of superb lace which covers the bodioce and forms the tunic, applied to the black tulle yoke merely by its selvages, the flat line of white outlining the curved shape of the yoke in very effective tashion. | l ! Straps. ! | Straps are used to restrain the fall- | ' ness in many of the new winter coats | and skirts. Sometimes there are two ! straps across the back of a coat where | the full skirt flares from the waist ' UNDER THE MISTLETOE To ask a girl if you may kiss her before doing it is an insulting way ,of laying all the responsibility on . front and so long in back that it com- section Sometimes there are straps her. across the front of the skirt to hold! in the fullness below the waist, and | sometimes they are used for the same | that justifies any means, purpose on the hips.

Plaited Handbags. A blue silk handbag is made with plaits running across, mot up and down, as they often run. It is a nov- elty, and therefore will probably be the object of a good deal of attention. 1t is finished with a strap handle of the silk. Claus has insomnia. belleves has a good night’s rest.
