.’ | | Tare, OMAHA SUNDAY BEE MAGAZINE PAGE Dresses for the Dog Days—And Something About the New Paris Hats ADY DUFF-GORDON, the famous “Lu- cile” of London, and foremost creator of fashions in the world, writes each week the fashion article for this newspaper, presenting all that is newest and best in styles for well-dressed women. Lady Dufi-Gordon's Paris establishment brings her into close touch with that centre of fashion. By Lady Duff-Gordon (‘‘Lucile’’) PRE are a fow nice little comfortable dresses for the “dog days.” The large picture in the centre shows one of the new straws, with its very smooth little ribbons and fits little top knot at the crown of the hat. This top knot is going to be quite a fashion, I think. Soon you are going to find it in varying degrees of mag: nificence and elaboration on the top of most of the Summer straws. Down in the corner I show you the top knot as it 13 adapted to headdressing. This is, of course an echo of early Victorian styles. But to go back to the dress in the large ploture— it 18 of sandy corded aiik and chiffon. The waist is & coat effect, and is eaught under the belt, giving quite & new and graceful note to the gown. I call the pretty little dress beside it “Dinna For- get Me.” It is & pale green voile, and is full of the suggestion of Youth. The other two dresses are & The New and Charming ‘‘Lucile’’ Afternoon Gown of Sandy Oorded 8ilk and Chiffon, with One of the New Straw Hats, trifie more sqvere. The one in the left hand corner is a threeplece walking dress of yellow corded silk, and the one in the upper right hand corner is a black moire afternoon gOwm. 1 just heard from Paris ebout some of their new Sum- mer hats. While there is a wonderful variety in style, they are all either very large or very small. For the rest, there is a choloe of fabrics ranging from leather to tulle, the first promising long-continued wear right into the Autumn in return for the somewhat heavy ouflay, which it demands, st the moment, as the lead- ing and somewhat incongruous noveity. One of these hats is in tan suede and in & small sailor shape, whose jauntiness of aspect will be still further increased when it is adjusted at the right—and that is scute—angle on the head. There are roses wreathed round the crown—seven or eight of them o soft shades of piak and purple, and different degrees of opening, but all aMke encircled by a fringe—or it might almost Dainty Little Afternoon Dress of Pale QGreen Voile. ‘‘Lucile’’ Model.

A Black Moire Afternoon Gown, with the Decorously Short New Skirt. be called & halo!—of ostrich feather strands in & deeply brilliant shade of sapphire blue. So that as in between the feathers and flowers you get's glimpse of & few con- necting leaves of soft green, you can imagine that the color scheme is sufficiently striking. A companion novelty of rather more severely simple style—but equally smart effect—1is a hat of white kid, its brim the merest apology for the genuine article that ever gave s hat the right to this particular title. It is banded sbout the crown with a wide blue ribbon, against which & square shaped buckle of the white kid shows up well in front. Then over all there is thrown » vell of lightly patterned blue lace, just hemmed with silk, its apparently careless—and altogether graceful— arrangement being really so cleverly contrived that it never requires any readjustment or fastening in which. ever one of several possible ways it is worn. Then to go to the other extreme—of tulle—there is & new and “varnished” variety of the filmy tabric which is only avallable—and pretty—in black. Puoros: &y «Joe.
