The Coat Is of Mauve Taffeta, the Edges Being Trimmed with Ruches of the Silk. LADY DUFF-GORDON, the famous “Lucile" of London, and foremost creator of fashions in the world, writes each week the fashion article for this newspaper, presenting all that is newest and best in styles for well-dressed women. “ Lady Duff-Gordon's new Pans establishment bring her into close touch with that centre of fashion. Lady Duff-Gordon’s American establishment it at No. 17 West Thirty-sixth street. New York Qty. By Lady Duff-Gordon (“Lucile”) NOW that there is a lull be tween seasons—Spring’s end and Summer's dawn I would like to talk to you a Mt about the Importance of making your own fashions. By that I mean the importance of studying your selves, what looks best on you, what lines are best suited to bring out your best When you have really found that out, then adapt the fash ions to your studies and your dis coveries. That is the lesson I would like to really teach every woman —the ne cessity of conforming the fashions to herself, and not herself to the fash kme The first is the intelligent thing, and places dress where it be longs, as aframe for woman's loveli ness; the second is the follcw-the sheep way and makes the frame everything. And this Is not only bad taste, but bad dressing. The pannier skirts are a good ex ainple, I think the pannier is a very charming mode. 3ut it all depends npon who wears It and how it la worn whether It shall be charming or grotesque. It is an Individual fashion. That is its first danger. A fashion that is tn itself marked and unusual should be studied care fully If a woman has a pronounced individuality of her own she runs more danger in wearing an Indi vidual fashion, unless she studies It carefully, than any other woman, be cause two pronounced Individualities are apt to clash. One of Ruben’s women would not look well in a pan nier, but one of Watteau’s dainty Marquisees or shepherdesses de luxe would. On the other hand, a woman w ho would not look well in. what I eaR a normal pannier skirt, might look very well in a modification of It And there are some women who under no circumstances,'should wear a pannier. If fahston decreed that every woman should wear a red hat, think of the many women whose com plexion. the color of their skin, the color of their eyes and hair, would make them look perfectly grotesque in red hats! Why, then, should these women wear such hats, even if fashion should decree it? To slavishly follow any fixed uni form mode, either in the shape, the arrangement, or the color of a gown, is just as bad as the red hats. I hope later on to make a full article upon taste and the importance of studying your own fashions, but this will do for a beginning. I will now describe the gowns on this page. . The beautiful picture gown of which I am sending you a photograph is <of shot ribbed ninon in green and brown. The fichu and apron are of cream old world embroidery. The sash is made of soft striped muslin pompadour pat tern bound with faded mauve. Hat of fine white crinoline with bow and ends banging down the back of mauve ribbon with black pilot edge and a bunch of pale yel low and silk flowers at side. Lined underneath with same muslin as sash. The parasol is of the new pa goda shape and is of white taffeta with a deep band of the fancy mus lin which forms the sash and lines the hat and is finished wdth a little ruche of mauve ribbon. The two afternoon gowns shown tn the other photograph will next be described. The one on the left is of mauve foulard. The back of ths skirt Is exceedingly pretty being very softly draped and just expresses the pannier effect low down cn the hips. The bodice has tbo long sloping shoulders with slightly puffed sleeves THF ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.

Worn with it is a hat of cream straw, draped in cream lace with black ribbon around the crown, with one long streamer hanging from the back and a beautiful La France rose resting ph the brim. The ether gown shown in the pic ture is mode o’s deep flounced tam bour lace edged with soft pink satin and trimmed with rosettes of same. The chief feature of this costume, however, is the mauve taffeta coat worn with ft. It has swallow tails, the seams are piped and th? edge trimmed with beautifully made ruches of the silk The little bonnet worn with it is of pale blue taffeta lined with pink, trimmed with a spray of beautiful silk flowers tied under the chin with black ribbon velvet. Another very smart afternoon gown is shown in one of the sketches. It i« of apricot soft silk faille. The tunic is made to stand away from the long, straight underskirt and the revers show e lining of gold and mauve lace. The bodice at the waist is carried out with the same effect and falls over a belt of the same mauve and gold lace The neck Is finished with a tiny collar of mauve satin The sleeves are long and straight, in keeping with the present-day fashion, and fall over the hand with a tiny turnedback cuff of the same mauve satin. The ether hat is of mauve satin with bow of dull orange-colored velvet. In the other sketch is shown a white satin evening gown with over dress of white chiffon with bolero ef fect in front of the bodice embel lished. with pearls and diamonds. A tiny band of white satin finishes the neck and there is a soft drapery of white chiffon around the waist with long ends The skirt expresses the pannier idea and is long and d'aping. “Jack and the Beanstalk,” of pantomime popularity and fame, will have a rival this season in many a fashionable “ Jill" with a “beanstalk” of blossoms up rising from her straw hat, this aspir ing arrangement, being the very lat est millinerial mode. And it is one of the smartest, too, for it permits of a blending of any number of beauti ful flowers and colors, which if dis posed in the ordinary way would al most cover even a gocdly sized hat, wherens in the form of this tall, tap ering “clump" they leave quite un broken the lovely "line,” which is the distinctive feature of the new shapes, the resulting effect being of that ex treme simplicity which is almost daring and altogether delightful. These, massed blossoms are for the most part placed rather toward the back of the hat, at one side, and not even one bud or leaf is permitted to stray onto the front, and abso lutely iintrlmmed part, a very sim ilar scheme being carried out, too, when' feathers are the chosen form of adornment One of the latest and largest models in fine bfack pedal straw has its wide brim upturned high along the left side, and, then sweeping low down at the right, where there consequently comes into full view an ostrich feather of glorious cerise coloring, which is so placed against the crown that its drooping “Lanoered” ends make a background for the whole curve of the black straw. Beyond this plume there is nothing—not even an orna ment or a bow to fasten and finish off the feather, whose stem is Jusi bidden at the base by a few soft featherey strands being drawn across it And the result is that, while this hat can be quite correctly and effec tively worn with even a plain tailor suit, it will also afford a perfect com pletion for an afternoon gown oi charmeuse or taffetas, whereas Its predecessors In the way of beplumed models were definitely restricted to wear with elaborate toilettes. So thus are the advantages of the pres ent favor for simplicity onoe mors proclaimed and proved.
