MORE COVERING GIVEN THE UP- PER PART OF THE FIGURE. 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 evldenco 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 wa 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 sieeves 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- 1y new note to watch develop. That 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-piece frock the blouse chosen for it must give the superficial appearance of a continuation of the 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 leng 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 sc than the orna- mental waist of chiffon or silk or sat- 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, in, although one may be compelled to also have a fanciful affair on band 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 m- 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 finiched at the back with a flat bow to carry out the tailored idea i i 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 ADAPTED FOR SEWING-ROOM “Stitch-in-Time” Board Will Be Found of 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 pleces, 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 the ' HT0 IR BEIOIOEID I «z»_«z«_z«:T«zzéii'- 120; mmm top and bottom. A flat oblong (:ull)lnn.| covered with pale pink silk and edgedr 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 8o 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, in which a' thimble may find a place, and a long loop of pale pink ribbon, with a‘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. NEW VOGUE IN NECKWEAR More Severe and Unornamental Style 8eems 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 hard, and so have afternoon frocks. And not long ago Madame Cheruit wore a gown of gabardine, with a lit: 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 chiffon vest extended around the back, filling in this space left bare by the bodice with a perfectly straight plece of the chiffon. Some faces and hgur(-s can stand this flat, straight line at lhe. neck, but most look far better in the | high, rolling collar that has been sc popular. DICTATES OF FASHION Some of the new Jnckets are made with belts showing in front, but hid:| den at the back. Buttons generally sew on from be-n 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 coiftures show the| hair dressed so closely to the head as to give a certain severity of out- line. Long-ha'red, cream-<olored 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 gilk and handsome cloth with un-, hemmed edges, &nd the selvages make a very graceful finish as a rule, blending more softly with the lines | of the costume. A Parislan dinper | frock has a width of superb lace which covers the bodice 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. SLEEVES IN FASHION AGAIN Once More an Important Item of the Gowns That Are Now Meeting With Favor. By their sleeves you may know them. That has been true of the frocks of today. For ceveral years slecves have not been of especial importance. Most of them have been cut on kimono lines— nd 8o they were no sleeves at all, and perhaps that is why they were not im- portant. But this year we have a cut- and-dried sleeve to deal with again. To be sure, the new evening gowns have no sleeves. But this absence of sleeves is as characteristic of the style as any other sleeve detail would be. The new evening bodices are cut in two points that clasp on the shoulder under a jeweled Buckle or clasp or under an artificial flower; or else they are cut off square and®held over the houlders with jeweled bands or strands of artificial flowers. But in the day time the sleeve is | a regulation sleeve, set into a regula- | tion armhole. And it is long and rather snug and usually reaches well over the hand. Sometimes a bllhop' sleeve is used—one full above the wrist, gathered into a little wristband.

'NECKWEAR OF THE WMOMENT| Styles Are as Pretty as Those of the| - Summer, Though Materials Are Different, Just as last summer the lovely touch of white neckwear was organdie and lawn, so now it is of cream net and lace in the finer costumes, and of pique in those dresses that smack of the tailormade. There is less wiring.of the collars to make them stand up, as the necks are higher as far as decollcte is con- cerned; they can, however, be lightly wired if they are more becoming. Fine venise, applique and pcint laces are noted in the collars of the new, dress modzls, and there is always enough net added to the neck decora- tion to kcep the lace from looting too; hard agaiust the skin. Some of the lace guimpes are of embroidered net of the applique type of lace, and they finish at the tcp with a round neck that does not comnin quite up to the base of the throat PRERFERILL LT T T2 DL B2 LRt T S Knock Out The High Cost of Living and getting 1he Best and Purest Greceries at Prices iike these . $1.00 . 85¢ ..$1.00 $1.10 45¢ ceeese Good Ground Coffee, per pound ..
