TUB OMAHA SUNDAY REE: MAY 2S, 1911. B ONE-PIECE GOWNS IN YOGUE Conservative, but Free Lines Held Proper in Dress. SILHOUETTE IS THE THING Trlmtnlnsr I I'larrd On lUlhrr Than Ilullt Into the (iarmrgl Many I'arlalnn ' l)rloi Are Offcrfrl. rlilny of gowns. dresses, materials and trimmings fur the coming summer navr awakened no end of Interest, the Hiowlnu comprlnlnr muny superb costumes. The model shown In the majority of win dows are, of course. In most caws much too radical for the American woman, but style doKlpned on simpler lines are meet Inn with great approval from all, as well as the Juna brides. The points that stniid out definitely as "different" this season are the general catholicity of the length of Jackets, the returning of the slender silhouette figure, the use of double-faced fabrics, the re verse side being used for trimming effects; the prevalence of heavy llulgarlan trim mings on all thin gowns, the use of glace taffeta instead of satin In dressmaking, the use of surah and the small amount of pongee this summer, much lace, two and three kinds on a gown and put on differ ent places on the dress, use of charmeuse and marquisette and messallne, return to favor of braiding, neatness and simplicity in mnn-tallored suitings. transparent gulmpes in many dresses and the popu lurlty of collarlcss bodices. No particular period of dress prevails and really the women this year have their cnoice or tne styles of the ages. Oriental ! and French models are both popular, and i with them in eo.ua! favor for general use I is the tailored suit with the eton Jacket. Callot favors Louis XIV. as Is shown in his designs, using fichu effects and flat panler draperies. Paquln has many dra peries, but his idea is to have them trans parent and collitnt. 1'ulret Is strongly ori ental and Indeed the far east Is contrib uting more to the style than the French periods. In the eton Jackets only young and slender women are advised to use the shorter cuts, below the hip being the model of the greater popularity. Variety paraan Designs . ('allot, I'auin, Drecoll, Polret, Bernard, JIavet. Rondeau. Cherult. Becnoff David! Ioucet. Heer, Worth, Martial, Armand and Francis have all gowns of distinctive caliber for the summer wear, and, of course, the Amerlcan-made-ready-to-wear dresses follow somewhat closely the lines proposed by these designers. Paris styles are generally of the Louis XIV, the use of lace frills and wide revers being a new and pleasing feature. A general tendency In gowns Is to have them longer and In many cases a train of from twelve to fifteen, Inches long is the style. The train is usually of the center pointed kind. Color is varied, but gener ally plainer than In previous years, a strong leaning to black and white mark ings being found. Touches of the brilliant cerise, emerald green, and Helen pink are stylish trimming, and In the light, fllmV dance and evening gowns many colored effects promise popular attraction. In the tailored suits the coat Is the per plexing problem. The new suit coat is short In the back and a decided cut-away, the type described being given the prefer ence over the bolero style by the Paris fancier. Skirts are narrow, but not of the hobble, the two-yard skirt being pop ular. The general effect in building a skirt, as one dealer described It, is to do away with any Idea of a tlounce effect. Suitings must be straight up and down, preserving slen- derness. Slmplenees of cut la the ldea.1 with trimming put on rather than built in. Freedom of motion ts essential tn any of the dresses of popularity this year. Tail ored suits are naturally built to allow this, and except the formal party gown It will be necessary In all other dresses. Even In the formal gown motion Is bowed to In all dressmaking. One Piece Gowns la Ftoror. The volume of business this year will undoubtedly be done In the medium priced one piece summer gowns. Black messaltne) is the thing in some dresses, and the party gown of messollne with chiffons for drap ing and bringing out harmonising and con trasting shades are especially good. Wide bands distinguish themselves on all dresses, the band being of silk around the belt and often openwork and bead work In the waist of the dress. Filet and Venlse lace for belt and decorative purposes, combined with hand embroidery on almost every kind of model, seem to hold their place with persistency. A new touch In the gowns Is the tunic, cut plain across the front and slashed across the back, displaying the messaltne 1 foundation of a fllrqy dress combination. Few of the tunics have straight lines about he bottom, but are either pointed at each side, curling up towards the front or back, or are cut pointed In the back and follow ing the line of the train. Sleeves on the dressy gown are still cut-in-one with the bodice and are Invariably 1 of elbow length. A band of trimming or a ; three or four In ouff of a contrasting ma I teiial Is a nice finish for the gown sleeve. 1 On the tailored coat the sleeve ts exactly ' the counterpart of the man's coat sleeve. , Cut from the shoulder, general lines, and l ouff finish are as near the man's coat ; cut possible. The peasant bodice, holds Its place al though relieved of some of Its simplicity by tut clever designs) of the period. The American women cllaga to the open neck, many of the dressed of the more simple cat, having the Dutch square neck, Yoke Are Kuraw, 1 The surplice bdoioe, crossed in hack and i Just meeting in front at the girdle. Is seen on many evening frocks. A narrow band of trimming and the tunio are used on the J gown of this type. Bodice and elbow , sleeves are cut In one and the waist Is gath- ! ; ered Into a collarless yoke. This yoke Is : narrow in front and wide In back, extend- ing out broad over the shoulders, ending in Mjuii iuw tn vttuu nwvo. i no yose does not quite meet In the center at the front. "Jupe culotte," the harem skirt, has aroused more Interest than any other dress of the modern time. It will awaken inter est among the public whether or not It Is worn, and many a dealer declares that they will be worn tn the modified form this summer. The Turkish trousers are popu lar as are the old-fashioned bloomer for summer wear. For wear In general usage and not in party and formal dances, the one-piece em pire gown holds Its place well. They are made of all kinds of cloth, muslin, linen, chiffon with messallne backing, and other cool dress effects. ' Suits of linen for wear at summer hotels and resorts have Jumped Into favor with a bound. Instead of the old stiff linen suit this year's model Is a soft linen that la hard to wrinkle. Copenhagen blue Is most popular with this dress. The suit consists of a heavy but coarse linen skirt and coat. Shirtwaist of attractive design may be worn with the skirt and the coat left off In the hotter part of the day. tilngham with a sailor collar Is another of , the dresses in popular use for the sum mer girl and her activities. Young matrons are alsa wearing these, as well a the neat shirtwaist with the handkerchief collar with hand embroidery. One of the near freaks In this shirtwaist Is tho all hand kerchief waist. Pallor suits for use where I sailing and boating will be the sports are. ! tit ni-ktl,un II. thin. Ytonir I'nunir nrnr.... . vj . . ... , iiiiiiqi . ..wuiin -uiiioii are employing the sailor suit for tennis use nowadays. nt Walats In Demand. The new styles of tailored stiitu call for two styles of waiMts. The first Is a dressy tpe that accords with the skirt worn and the second a waist that Is the resl summer model of white marquisette or voile with a touch of embroidery. The dressy waists consist of the veiled models of thin goods, and the over blouse. Bands of eyelet embroidery chiffon, make next decorative features, and the openwork waist caning lor pretty corsage covers are In use. For the waists themselves the colors are of dark blue, brown and violet, black and some tns und cinnamons. The side frill Is not as much used In tho west as In- the east, a mull or net trimmed with lace be ing the general style. Stocks of white waists consist almost ex clusively of marquisette and voile, with .much embroidery. One color, several shades of one color, and the combination of col ors known as Bulgarian embroidery are the colors used. AValst sleeves are of some length below the elbow, and the demand is concentrating upon the three-quarter length. The bride of course would need four or five fancy gowns of party design fur hei summer season. Card parties, receptions, dances, and private parties, are attended by her and a suitable gown 1b needed for each. The price, and Indeed the num ber of the bride's dresses, are of necessity controlled by the extent of her purse. A traveling suit, and a long' traveling coat of plain cut are necessary, a mannish style bVlng suggested in the suit. Added to this, a suit for general afternoon wear, such as the blue serge suit described above is most handy to the young bride, for wear in a hotel or resort, and a white serge dressy suit is never amiss. Afternoon wear Is amply covered In many places by a nice suit. Waists are necessary to the bride very much so. Hand embroidered waists for fancy wear, with a neat skirt are nice, and the more plain designs can also be used. Opestwork white, messallne, and colored models are all In style for the young bride. For the bride who is lucky enough to be able, to motor the waist Is of extra value because If the weather Is dusty It can be readily changed.

Is now under development hy Ous Heme, engineer general of the affairs at the Coliseum. Many members of the former casts will have parts In the new show. The program contains much that Is new and striking. The athletic features of "The Oymkana" arc more than interesting in the words of those who have experienced them. The Coliseum Is undergoing rapid trans formation. The exterior is to be covered with a layer of concrete plaster, while the Interior has been subjected to many modifications. The exterior of the Colis eum is to be finished in Spanish mission style. The Coliseum will be the home of the Land-Products show to be held by The Dee Publishing company this fall. The first sest-lon of the knights was held for the entertainment of the visitors in Omaha In attendance at the national con vention of boiler makers. The sketchy out lines of the annual Initiatory farce were tried on the visitors with rare effect The plans for the annual parade of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben are now under formation In the mind and drawing of Guv.
