Lady Duff -Gordon Describes Her Newest Unique D Dresses T ADY DUFF-GORDON, the f jfamou "LuciV of Lon don, andiorcmost creator of fashions in the world,' write each week the fashion article for, this newsaper, presenting aH that is new est and best in styles foriwell-dressed .women. Lady Duff-Gordon's sew Paris establishment brings her into dose touch with that centre of fashion. Lady Duff-Gordon's American establishment is at No. 17 West Thirty-sixth street, New York Gty. By Lady Duff-Gordon Quelle." I HAVE, perforce, an ideal drees, the dress of all others that I would see worn by tall, Uly slender women. To wear my Ideal dress, milady must have tiger lily attributes; she must fee graceful, sup ple, bending with every breath of wind.' ;. . . .: ' In the first photograph I show my ideal girl and my Ideal draped dress. It Is made of double width charmeuse and has no seam anywhere. It clings closely to the figure, by the knack with which it is draped. There is art in every fold of the fabric. Fin gers as clever as those of a sculptor produce this effect. My Ideal girl la my ideal gown is far finer than the finest bit of sculpture. In this model I have used a de lightful shade of blue charmeuse. It is the shade of far distant hills, the chiffon scarf and embroideries are all in various tones of this same shade, To secure the perfect effect of this costume the wearer must resemble my ideal girl la color, as well as in figure. She must be fair, with eyes the blue of the distant hills, and skin as delicate as the elouds that float above us at dawn. Very different are the two deaf . little (iris in my second photograph. One so dark, the other so fair. They are wearing two of my favorite models, my "wish" dresses. The fair one has a dainty little cobwebby frock. A sheer white lace over flesh colored satin. There are touches of brilliant white satin in skirt and bodice. It is the quaintest kind of an 1812 model, high belted, with a bunch of .tiny rosebuds tucked in at the left. The apron of lace, with its charming bits of pockets, is a fetching conceit. Stockings of pale pink and tiny slippers of pale bluet The hat and sunshade match the satin slippers, blue as blue forget-me-nots. This little "wish" girl always makes me think of spicy pinks and tender forget-me-nots. The other little girl, the brown eyed maid, has a smart afternoon coat and skirt of the palest hy drangea blue charmeuse. It is made with a slightly draped skirt. The very chic jacket has a peplum. There are touches of water-green satin. The hat is pale pink taffeta bound with dark green, and trimmed with a wreath of old-fashioned flowers. . The first little "wish" girl, being blonde, is quaint. The second, being a brunette, is smart, chic Brunettes should never attempt quatntness that should be left for blondes. Charmeuse Is used for the slippers Instead of satin. And, by the way, I find that of all branches for drap ing, charmeuse is the most graceful and the most supple. As to evening gowns, Paris is pro claiming its favor for a bright but not altogether beautiful-shade of sulphur yellow, though I doubt whether its popularity will carry across the Channel, where, bow ever, some of the less startling shades of yellow will doubtless be worn. Then there is a new green called "Malachite" which is des tined and likely to be something of a rival to emerald tints, while though "carrot red" certainly sounds somewhat prosaic, not to say unattractive, as the description of another fashion favored color. You will find the reality more in spiring I fancy, more especially too, . when it is softened by draperies and veilings of the lace, which nowadays and nights too puts in an appearance on practically every gown and garment. The lace fashion, has in fact de veloped into a positive furore, and even the tailor made suit is taking unto itself, lace collars and frilled lace revere, in order not to be "out of It," so that practically every make is in demand, from the finest chantllly and shadow laces to the heavy, boldly broldered "Mlcareme" varieties, while one and all are be ing shown, too, in widths ranging from a wide "bead" edging to a knee deep flounce. a DyM No.l82-Curesfor Encumbering Flesh R ANGING die world for the best methods of beauty culture Mme.

' The German fruit rooms and the French grape diet aha also describes in this article. ..... . TO By Mme. Una Cavalier!. IF I were ever encumbered by too much, .flesh I should first give the rice treatment a thorough trial. It Is simple and cheap and has the merit of not re ducing too rapidly, so that the facial muscles have time to adjust them selves to the new conditions and the skin of the face to also adjust Itself, preventing the haggardness and aged look that.follow too rapid reduction. The rice cure can be explained In a paragraph, a short one, even In a line. It consists In an exoluslve diet of tice and milk, or rice with a lit tle butter and salt to make It palat able. It Is a leisurely, and for that reason healthful, treatment. A young woman of my acquaintance rid herself ef two pounds a week by this diet amtll she had diminished her weight by the desired ten pounds. I have no doubt, had she continued, she could have reduced indefinitely by that eoale. 8he ate three large bowls of rice a day. Each bowl constituted one of her , three dally meals. The rice was covered with .skim milk. Had she chosen, she could have eaten it with a little butter and salt A fad In Ostend and at some ef the German cures Is to wrap the limbs and other fatty portions In white muslin or linen clothe that have been boiled In vinegar. They are wrapped around the fleshy per. tlona of the body as hot as the oloths can be endured. When they cool they are replaced by others or they are dipped once more Into the vinegar. This treatment le continued for at least twenty minutes and some of the faddists employ it three times a day. It has a certain value, for there is no question about the ab sorptive power of the skin. But Its foes are sure that It makes the skin yellow. In Germany Is being attempted a method that would make for health and healthy thinness In America. German phyalciana adviae the es tablishment In each town of fruit depots. ' If these depots or rooms were generally established and a man or woman could drop In at one of them for luncheon ae easily as he or she now calls at a restaurant where fattening potatoes, puddings, pastry and liquors are served there would be a benefit to the general health. Summer is the best season for re duction, for three reasons. First, one of the greatest agents for de stroying excess flesh is pure air, and one may get all she wishes of it at this season. . If circumstances permit you to leave the cities, the country air will 'aid in diminishing your girth. . A second reason why Summer is the best season for reduction of weight is that we need and crave less food in this season, and, be sides, the food is of a lighter na ture and contains more acid than in Winter. One fashionable Parlslenne betook herself to her chateau last month for her annual rebuilding and for the first three weeke lived exclu sively on grapes and slept In an open air chamber on the roof of her country home. She grew clear of skin and lissome aa a girl. A third reason for utilizing Sum mer In your reduction treatment is that It le the season which favors perspiration. And fat flows from our body on the streams of perspi ration. a D D D a r V? Beauty Questions Answered M T. S. asks: "Please tell me the eimplest way to prepare and apply henna."
