THE COtn c.
Fashions of the Day,
My Dearest Adelaide: My! thing are
dressy! You cannot be too much "dress
ad up." You must have gauss and fluff
and white even if you add a chiffon bow
or jabot, or one of Jace, or of Liberty
gauze to your severest tailor made and
really this is quite the proper thing to do.
As I told you a few weeks ago, the man
nish girl is "off the earth." In her place
is the daintiest creature, simply a dream!
I do not believe, my dear, that there will
be seen this summer a plain or ugly
maid or matron assuredly not if she
but understands in small detail, the art
of dressing. These thin, gauzy, lacey,
spangled, tinseled stuffs are besoming
to everybody.
Of course the Bret spring dress must
be the tailor made this drees is the
backbone of a woman's wardrobe; what
ever else this must be first It a woman
cannot hare but one, then this must be
first and last. It must be of cloth or of
serge. It can be made with jacket and
skirt, with a variety of silk waists, or it
can have a moulded waist of the goods.
I mast tell you of a costume that Mar
gueritaSylva wears ic "Monte Carlo."
Evoryone has not the exquisite curve of
figure that ha this glorious-eyed sou
brette, neither has everyone the brilliant
complexion framed in the mass of dark
hair, but the costume can be adapted to
almost any style of wearer. It is of white
cheviot a creamy white and is lined
with turquoise blue. The lining show
ing, not only as the skirt is lifted, which
woald not be seldom, off the stage aa
well aa on. The skirt is plain, made in
the circular style. The bodice, a round
one, showing every curve of the waist
aad bust, and with slight points back
and front. The seams and darts were
braided or covered rather, with soutache
braid and finished with a simple pattern
of clover leaf. The collar was extremely
high and plain, s J high that as pretty
Marguerita sung she slyly unfastened
the top hook. The hat was a white af
fair, with chiffon and white wings adorn
ing it. The costume was plain and was
ali in the cut and was superb as a model.
To return to jackets. While the short
jackets are the correct thing, just now,
some of the tailors are trying to cram
down our throats the fact that long coats
are to be worn. It does not go down my
throat. Sounds slangy, eh, Adelaide?
Anyway, dear, the long coats coming
nearly or quite to the knees are ugly and
unbecoming. They break the wearer in
two, and destroy all the lines of the
figure. In my opinion a coat should
never stop at the knee or too near. It it
is that long it should continue on down
and have some ccquaintance with the
bottom of the dress skirt. So much de
pends on the length of the coat. It can
rain or it can create grace and style. If
perchance theee English coats do take
hold they will die "a borninV will never
be popular.

white Swiss muslin plaited flounces.
These flounces are edged with ribbon or
lace to match the color in the foulard.
In fact, white Swiss muslin flounces and
ruffles are used in trimming silk and
wool dresses. Chiffon, moussaline de
soie and gauze are so perishable that in
many instances the Swiss muslin is tak
ing the place.
Tailor effects are moderated and made
effeminate with appliqued lace yokes,
revere aad girdles.
Waists can be made of entirely differ
ent material, from the sleeves and skirt.
This gives endless variety for dainty
summer dresses. Lace waiBts made of
insertions and ruffles with silk sleeves
and skirts are always effective.
Checkered skirts with jackets match,
ing the color of the check are extremely
stylish. A new material is checkered
with a moire effect running through the
goods. I saw a blue and whit9 one,
small check. With it was wore a blue
velvet jacket Eton at the back and 6ort
of blouse m front. 'Ihe vest was of white
silk and lace.
White dock or linen skirts are made
up with red jackets. And they are red,
too, Adelaide just stunning for the sea
shore. Sometimes the skirts have red
let in somewhere with panels or bands
appliqued with wide braid. Red jackets
are worn with checkered red and white
wool skirts, and red jackets gilt-buttoned
with everything.
I told you last week of the latest
French dresses being in the princesse
and poloaaise style. They are extreme
ly graceful on plump, slender figures,
and can be adjusted to mountains of
flesh almost as well by an expert dress
maker. And, my dear, all dressmakers muEt be
expert this year. If I ever have any
power to wield the first thing I do will
be to make a law which will imprison
the fiends who profess to be dressmakers
and are not. Tessa.

"Yes," said the veteran, who has been

And this statement was quite true.
