ANKLET BOUQUET NOW
FASHION HAS TAKEN ANOTHER
FORWARD STEP.
Daring Leaders of Modes Are Wear*
ing Flowers Just Above the Shoe
Tops, Instead of at Waist,
as Formerly.
The Parisian creators of fashion
have issued the royal edict that to
be the vogue, skirts this season must
be short. The shorter the more vogue
to them, doubt the fashion men
tors had in mind that the spaces in
tervening between the skirt bottoms
and the shoe tops would be utilized
by some creative genius in the intro
duction of the latest fad.
Of course there was the anklet
watch and the anklet muff to fall back
on, but such tame things as these could
very easily be improved on by some
one with imagination.
Naturally one must have a dainty
ankle. Yes, indeed, a very dainty
ankle, to attract the proper amount
of eyes. But then, again, like every
thing else, there are likes and dis
likes, and the piano-bottomed ankle
is just as apt to attract attention as
is the one built on the lines of a
Venus.
Dorothy Newell, possessing as
charming a figure as one would desire,
bethought herself of a daring inno
vation. Having the daring of her con
victions, she went about executing
them. If, Miss Newell figured, it be
the proper thing to wear a corsage
at the waist, why not use a bouquet
to adorn the ankle?- Having started
the vogue, it caught like a house of
tinder when the torch is applied to it,
and nbw the florists are getting real
fussed up about it. Aye, they are
studying the most courtly of manners
in so far as the art of kneeling is
concerned. If the vogue spreads as it
is already doing, the cavauers of the
STYLES IN PROSPECT
ALREADY THERE IS DISCUSSION
OF SPRING FASHIONS.
Serge Foulard Will Be One of the Most
Popular Fabrics—New Cotton Voile
That Makes Most Dainty
House Gowns.
There are no longer merely two
fashion seasons of tho year. Each of
the two seasons has a midseason. This
is well.
Even now there is much talk con
cerning the fabrics of spring. It
seems like an absurdity, with winter
here and the long months to wait be
fore the crocus blooms again. Yet
it is no" so absurd, either, for in a
very short time the holidays will be
upon us and the northern fashion
birds will wing their way southward
with trunks well packed with sum
mer togs.
Serge foulard is one of the new
lightweight fabrics, and it is excel
lent, too, for little frocks to be worn
under the heavy coats of fur or
velour. The new servo “Trykho" is
serge of much grandeur, having a
soft, velvety feel that makes it most
attractive arid. rich. Ilarbeline is a
new wool voile, heavier than the or
dinary voile, and of stunning shades.
A new cotton voile has little picked-
up threads here and there, giving to
the fabric a design like scattered
ladder rungs. For dainty house gowns
it is quite adorable. Two colors com
bine in many of the new patterns—
rose and white, white and mauve and
white and black.
A novelty known as “raiebruges" is
made of alternating stripes of voile
and lace cloth, the cloth formed by
leno weave. The effect in two colors
is very attractive. Pikolla is a new
pique, but more supple than the old-
fashioned fabric that we know. Sa-
tella is another pique.
florist shops will be compelled to
carry kneeling cushions about with
them, as an aid toward adjusting, at
the proper place, the beautiful anklet
bouquet. The most attractive flow
ers for this purpose are the rose
sweet peas, and chrysanthemum; the
last named must, however, be removed
from the cabbagehead variety. That
may do on the six-cylinder anklet, but
for the trim ankle a dainty variety of
flowers is desired.
Carpenters are busily engaged in
filling orders for screens for use in
the floral shops. Behind these screens
the lady can in secrecy adjust the bou
quet exactly where she desires.
BLACK MATERIALS IN VOGUE
Really Unlimited Possibilities in the
Color, if It Is Effectively and
Carefully Employed.
\ i
Black js to enjoy a marked measure
of vogue this season. That announce
ment has been made by style creators,
in fashion periodicals, in the daily
press. And most women have adopted
it as a statement of fact, but have
doubted that black could be effec
tively used for really dressy cos
tumes. Somehow its past record as a
‘‘staple” has militated against its con
sideration as anything else. A sur
vey of some of the afternoon and eve
ning models fashioned from black ma
terials will dispel any such idea. Black
has unlimited possibilities.
The secret of its use—successful
UBe —depends upon the material em
ployed and the modeling of the gar
ment.
The dressy black costume must be
more dressy, more elaborate in mod
eling, than the costume fashioned
from colored fabric. Translated into
evening frocks, black materials re
quire the use of frills and furbelows
in order to counteract the absence of
color. Lace and nets must be used in
profusion. Satin must be employed,
I because its surface reflects light. Jet
and sequin trimming are utilized for
the same reason. Even black feath
ers—black paradise—have a place in
the development scheme of the black
evening gown.
HOLDS DUSTING CLOTHS
Bag for Dusting Cloths, Bound
With Tape and With a Loop of Tape
at the Top to Hang It By. The Cre
tonne Pocket Is Cut Slightly Wider
Than the Back in Order to Give It a
Little Fullness.
FOR THE HOT-WATER BOTTLE
Pretty Cover That Is Practical and
Will Also Serve to Amuse the
Small Child.
A cunning cover for the miniature
hotwater bottle, which is called into
requisition for childish toothache, ear
aches and colics, is made of canton
flannel. A small picot edge of mer
cerized cotton is crocheted around the
edge and the opening, which is drawn
up over the neck of the bottle with a
narrow tape. On one side of the flat
cover is embroidered, in blue outline,
the image of a pleasant old tabby cat,
whose silhouette, as she sits smiling
over her whiskers, just fills the shaped
cover of the bottle. The reverse side
of the canton flannel bag is embroid
ered to resemble the back of the same
tabby. The bag, besides retaining
the heat and giving a more comfort
able sensation when in contact with
tender skin than the rubber bottle, will
distract the mind of a young invalid
from her ills and insure a more speedy
convalescence. ,
DICTATES OF FASHION
White organdi“ has been and still
is in great favor.
Odd velvet coats will be worn with
cloth or rep serge skirts.
Chiffon sleeves seer^ to be as much
as ever in favor for fall dresses.
Black lace dresses with many
ruches at the hem are certainly charm
ing and distinguished looking.
All sorts of trimmings are being
used as borders to fabrics and many
stuffs are woven with borders which
come in most useful for trimmings.
Silk braiding is being much used as
a trimming on tailormades. and fur
is being put on in bands — throat
bands, cuifs, bands round the skirt
and so on.
The coatee blouse will probably be
much in evidence as the autumn sea
son advances and will be in velvet and
brocade, with sleeves of georgette.
The long sleeves are tight fitting
all the way down and there is more
than a hint of the early and middle
tnan a nint OI me early auu mwuio.
