8 I "n clearly showa In tB detailed
, description of my newest models, the
pannier It making a narked Impree-
loo In the Spring fashion. Not all women,
however, can or ahould adopt thia bo all ant
atyle.
To my readen, ai to Br client, t would
, aay "know thyself before deciding to follow ,
the dainty examples of the Dresden china
ahepherdessea I have always preached indi
vidualism In dress. It Is painful to me to see
. whole flocks of women following a fad un
reaaoningly. Know your face, your figure,
' your coloring, even your very manners, be
fore adopting any fashion la bata, gowns or
wraps.
Tbe French are great believers In the Indi
vidual fashion. It Is In America and England
tbe great ready-to-wear shops thrive Not In
Parle.
Thla Spring tbere are no many Individual
, fads that may be adopted by the clever tu
. dent of fashion. The new veils, for Instance,
art well worth studying. The one shown In
tbe picture I call tbe highwayman' vtlL The
upper part Is very much ilk the brigand
' mask, and there Is no doubt that the veil la
Its entirety forms a complete disguise.
Only the woman with pronounced coloring
and large eyea ahould adopt this veil. , The
woman of Indefinite - coloring and vague
features must content herself with the new
fine mesh veils having larg flat spots
worked In tbe mesh.
And then the neck! French women of the .
(mart world devote much thought to their
necks. They never have worn the linen collar
or the stiff, ugly stock, formerly the sign
manual of the American woman. The after
, aoon frock of this Spring ar made collar
leas; frequently the narrow yoke la also
omitted. Generally a high-necked gulmpe or
tucker of fine aet la also made to wear with
theee eo liar less frocks, a milady chooses.
The collar are supported with the most deli
cate of silk-covered wire, that I frequently
unnoticed by the casual observer.
On the other hand, with the morning frock
or tailored costume the neck should be elab
orately dressed this 8prlng. Tbere are charm
ing effects for tbe woman with tbe thin neck
and rest raining effect for the woman with
tbe fat neck and plump cbln. Notice the
tbree-tlered collar shown with tbe smart
trotteor costume. This can be developed In
fin lac or net and la an admirable letting
for the thla face and neck. i
Another very new idea for ahe .of the le
FIO. &. A Charming New Creation In Brick-Red Ratine,
with Lower Skirt of White and Blue Striped Material;
White Straw Hat with Rouge and Blue Ornaments.
"Utile" Models.
der neck Is tbe crushed stock of aet or mull
with tbe cbln bow. This bow mnst be built of
soft material, yet there must be body
enough to make it stand out definantly.
Net or malinea are perhape the meet
satisfactory fabric. The bow must be
fastened at the top of tbe stock, with the Jabot
fastened at the lower end. Tbe Jabot must be
much shorter than those popular during
tbe Winter.
The woman with the fat neck and face
mnst wear a high stock of Irish or point
Venlse; her Jabot must be long and narrow
and fastened at the baa of the stock, with
no semblanc of a bow. Heavy, restraining
laces are appropriate for the plump neck; the
fine, soft lace for the thin.
Will all women adopt the waistcoat? No
The pannier and the ehlnts waistcoat ere
fashions that should be adopted by tbe
woman who thoroughly knowa herself. They
are for the tall, slender woman who carries
herself with the grace of the long-stemmed
Illy. The waistcoat I so very smart that
other women will seriously attempt to make
ft their own. But the woman with Individ
uality will see her limitations and If at all
Inclined to embonpont will eschew' waistcoat
and pannier and cling to her modification of
the narrow, clinging fashion. Also, the
woman who cannot afford a master modiste .
should avoid the draped skirt. v '
