the ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 23, 1913. C*P CABLE GOSSIP DRAMA HUMOR We’ll Be Out to Greet the Crackers Home To-day Cretonne Tailor-Made Costumes and Decolletes for Outdoors Are New Fashions. Special Cable to The Georgian. PARTS. April 23.—Cretonne tailor- made costumes with a dainty pattern of small roses and bunches of other flowers, HUKffestinff by their mibdued shade and charming design the well- known materials of the Pompadour period, were an utter novelty launched at the ^ongchamps paddock. The i rimming of these novel costumes, which mark a new departure in sum mer fashions, is exceedingly simple. In cut the skirts follow the genera) draped style, while the coats, half- fitting in the back, are rather full in front and gathered together at the waist by two short straps, the plain linen coat itself finishing some six inches, below the waist with a round ed front and an equally short back. The feature of the spring, however, appears to be the free adoption of semi-evening gowns for outdoor events. Some dozens of mannikins paraded this afternoon in a series of ‘ harming dresses of the lightest silk, chiffon and crepe of varying colors, from the palest to the most brilliant, generally with low collars of the Med ici type, in some eases decollete, a» for the theater. Hand-painted dresses, which are .said to be the coming craze at fash ionable summer resorts, are encoun tering the most favorable reception, despite the price, which is said to be *0 per cent in excels of the ordinary figure. One of the most admired ex amples seen to-day was of black mousseline de sole, enriched with a deep border of peonies in water color. The graceful skirt hung in soft folds, with this floral border as the only Trimming, while a charming drawing effect consisted of black plain mous- >‘ellne. The skirt was quite short and slightly slit in front; the bodice, olj rich coral chiffon, was veiled with black mousseline de sole, and had large hand-painted peonies in front, the same idea being repeated in the hack. ! r Ma N Baseball Summaries.
