THE OMAILV SUNDAY BEE: MATICII 24. 1007
Added Charm in the Separate Waist
M. ' ' w
IF any mliruld''l mortal labor
under tha impression that tlva
vorue of tha separate blouae la
on tha in let him wander
through tha ihopa and view tha
provision which designers and merchants
hay. made for the aatlafylnr of woman',
demand for that Indispensable garment.
Never waa there greater variety In thla
convenient garment and eurely waa there
never greater charm. The elaborate lln-1
gerle blouaea are more dainty and beautiful
than thoae of last aeaaon. If that la possible.
The hand embroidery tiaed lavishly upon
them la chiefly of the very fine and delicate
Slnd enunciated with dainty baby garments
and the whole tendency among the fine
waist of the lingerie class seems to be
toward delicate effects rather than toward
bold and striking design.
Valenciennes lace Is still the prime fa
vorite for combination with the hand em
broidery, but real cluny in very narrow
Insertion Is exceedingly popular for use
even upon the sheerest batiste and hand
kerchief linen.
Borne of the most charming models among
the simpler blouses make use of no lace at
all, save perhaps a narrow frill at collar
top and as a sleeve finish. One very suc
cessful little model which Is made both In
sheer waist batiste and In silk mull Is upon
the Marie Antoinette tine with plaited
frills down the center front and finely
tuoked shoulders.
The front frills have their edges cut In
deep pointed scallops and then embroi
dered In tiny scallops with silk of soft blue
or green or brown or rose. Little em
broidered green dots are set In these scal
lops and form a border to the frills.
The close high collar la finely tucked
and embroidered to match the frill and a
little lingerie bow embroidered In the same
fashion Is set at the head of the frill.
The sleeves are rather full and reach
well below the elbow, being finished with
an embroidered turn-back cuff. A cluster
of very tiny, hori.ontal tucka, along the In
side seam, adds to the shapeliness of this
sleeve model.
It will be hard to find anything prettier
for ordinary wear than one of these blouses
and almost aa charming as other models
In fine batiste with plaited frill collar and
cuffs, embroidered simply In little scallop
of bright coloring. All white models of
the same general character, but without
embroidery and with lace trimmed frills,
cuiTs and collars are very attractive, and
there are some delightful little French
blouse of dotted swlas whose scalloped
borders are finished with tiny narrow
Pretty Garments for the Easter Bride
ASHION writers agree In pronoun,
clng the Easier bride of 1907 most
highly favored. Madame Modeste
has exhausted her skill and re
sources In providing for her adorn-
went.
Fashlon Will make her sweet and
Willowy. Her waist will be slender, her
shoulders will droop gracefully and the
grown fitting snugly about her rounded hips
Will fall In the moat becoming billows
about her feet.
White satin remains the leading mate
rial for a wedding gown, and so the Enster
bride who takes to the distinction of a
church wedding may wear a princess gown
of Ivory white satin. It will have a square
train from a gored skirt, with a watteau
plait from the shoulders, held by straps
of pearl trimmings, which give the girlish
"Jumper" effect, over an underwalst or
lace as fine as she chooses. The elbow
Sleeves will be ripples of lace. The veil
will stream from a coronet of orange bios-
soms, and She will cary a shower bouquet
Of lilies of the valley.
The bridesmaids will wear gauze, chiffon,
tulle. Swiss or organdie, made with plain
skirts, gathered at the side and back. The
bodices will have the new pelerine fronts,
with narrow puffing between bands of rib-
bon, ending on the left side In roses of

A
JVPCin look at me now! rC
See the way my lapels bulge no

how they lave fallen awny See how
broken and lumpy lacking I am In front
Don't you think th. way I'm twisted he-

worst looking Suit you ever saw In your
life?
Yet there's good mnterlil In me. Judge.
If I hnd been properly cut and made up
you wouldn't see me In this terribly
twisted Condition not much. '
But I wasn't!
Between these twa prisoners my present
Condition was assured.
For the tailor there cut me altogether
Improperly, then hustled mo threuirh a
lot of Inexperienced, hunger-driven opera

old way.
And when I came from their bands, Z
was badly made I felt It.
I should hava been carefully taken apart
and made ovor by skilled tailoring ex
perts then I might have had a slight
chance of being a good suit.
But no that would cost money. ,
I was thrown to old L'r. Goose the Hot

He stretched tne here and shrunk m.
there till every thread and strand of
Fabric ached and ached.
But he made me look the part of a well
made suit, like thousands of other Im
properly cut and poorly tailored suits ha

To soon Como to the state you see me
in now, Judge disgraced and dishonored.
Now, that's the Charge I have agaln.-t
