THIS page presents creations in house gowns that
express individuality,
In no type of garments is the personality of the
wearer more accurately denoted than in the wearer’s
home gowns. If the domiciliary attire is careless the ob
server i 8 forced to the conclusion that the wearer is of
careless habit in all respects. I have not failed to observe
that there is a correspondence between a woman’s home
attire and her habit of thought and act—in a word, her
character. If she be of innate elegance her attire in tiie
privacy of her home will bear its stamp.
The house gowns here pictured are all adapted to the
type of the wearer. Furthermore, they are all in them
selves ‘attractive, They obey the two laws of dress—
first, conformity to personality and occasion; second, in
trinsi¢ beauty. : ;
The topmost picture displays what is well named a
Mandarin tea gown, for although the office of Mandarin
is still—despite the advance in the state of women in
China—filled by a man, yet indubitably he drinks tea. It
is of changeable silk, the brilliance of which is accentuated
by borders of ribbons carrying out the same colors. Chi
nese embroidery in heavy masses contributes body and
richness to the garment.
On the left is a creation in black and silver. The
black chiffon is rather scantily cut in the fashion of a long
coat. Moderately high at the neck, the soft fabric is
drawn, into a V-shaped design at the back, completed by
a large silver tassel.
The third bit of apparel for the tea hour is an Empire
gown of flesh-colored chiffon, elaborately lace trimmed.
Over it i 8 worn a codt of apricot velvet!
