Yellow Silk and Lac Tea Gown, with One of the Odd
New Caps. "Lucile" ModeL
By Lady Duff-Gordon.
HERO are two very odd an Interesting little otw fashion
touches. One to the crownless hat, which hat the hair for
Its crown, and the other fa an adaptation of the anron la
the dress. -Hau
hare more of novelty In them thta seaaon than almost
ever before. They are. Indeed, coming to their own as a decorative
adjunct of dreaa destiny that I bare "been trying to help along '
for a long time. Thla charming Tittle hat la nothing more than a
band with lUUe rosea aewed to tt and a brim of tulle. A plnwheel
feather completes It. It to not a headdress at aU. It to distinctly
a hat. with the natural shape forming Its crown.
The charming little dress that goes with It I hare called "Why
Do You Hesitate r It Is a young glrl'e dress of a wonderful tur
quoise blue tulle.
The apron dress la all white hopeack. The hat to one of the always
delightful broad brim "somewhat floppy" type, The apron dress Is very
little more than the adaptation to fashion of e Janitor's or a carpenter's
apron. . Even, the little belt cornea from the same source and yet how
effective tt all 1st I have always tried to teach that beauty to thing
that can be developed from almost anything.
A little tea gown la of yellow lace, and
here, too, we have a novelty in the cap. which
to also of lace, with a modification of the Dutch
wings.
At a Rita luncheon party the other day tt
waa generally admitted that the winner of the
Smartness Slakes was a certain almost boy
tohly slender little lady whose coat and skirt
costume of black and white checked
almost aa eeverely simple In style
suit.
Also, It was Just as immaculately tailored,
hence Its own and the wearer'e success.
The skirt waa of the shortest. Its tulnesa
flaring out at U sides only, and the back and
front banging etralghtly and Just touching the
tops of the high black Russian boots, whose
putting on, let me warn you, means the nae of
a "jack," and whose taking off demands the
help of either a very muscular maid or a hue
band sufficiently new to be devoted and de
lighted to. "assist" at his wife's toilette!
The coat buttoned right up to the neck,
with a aeries of little rounded stiver buttons,
and Just showed a Una of an Inner collar of
white lawn beyond Ita bordering piping of
black satin. Then the toque, too, was of black
satin and of distinctly military outline, with
just a cockade of satin ribbon, edged with all
ver galon for Ha trimming. It waa sot on the
head at the acute angle of a forage cap, nor
wss there much more hair shown than If Ka
wearer had been a soldier man, the soft dark
locks being brushed right back from the fore
head and the ears, and Just showing a Bleek
and smooth sweep at the left aide, never
stray curl being permitted to relieve the hard

line of satin against the forehead. So nothing could well have been sim
pler than this "get-up." and yet the resulting effect waa eye-arresting and
even startling to a degree rarely attained evea by costly elaboration.
Though, to be sure, as regards cost, this simple little suit would, I am
sure, be calculated to give a severe shock to the husband who was sud
denly called upon to pay the bill!
It almost goes without say that navy blue serge suiting Is responsible
for a goodly number ef the new full-skirted models, whether these be of
the coat sb1 skirt or the all-ln-ene "coat-dress" va,iety. a trimming of
black military braid being almost as inevitable as it is, certainly, and al
ways, effective.
Sometimes the costumes will have a short and ulte stralghtly cut ceat
with a centre fastening of braid-edged buttonholes and braid-covered but
tons, which can be used right up to the edge of the military collar, or left
undone for an inch or two at the top, to show an under 'lining of white
moire. Then, Just over the hips, the trim little garment ends Its career
in a series of braid-edged scallops, the skirt following this decorative exam
ple at the hem, where, by the way, Ita measurements are exactly four and
a half yards. This Is a style which can. Indeed, be depended on to suit
almost any woman blessed with the slim figure which helps to give an ap
pearance of youthfulneu even when the woman's Calvary middle alexia-already
