A New Reiii.xoote. —Many sensible 
women seem to think tliat fashionable 
clothes must necessarily be foolish or nu- 
comfortahle, or that modern stylos must 
always he less sensilile or modest than 
those of onr Krandmotliers. We think, 
iiowevor, that the fashions of 1018 will 
hoar compailson with those of ISGl, and 
whil(! we mn.st endeavor to measure iip 
to our forebears in courage and patriot¬ 
ism, we certainly have a great advantage 
over them in the comfort and conveni¬ 
ence of onr clothes. Sweeping flounces 
and billowing lioopskirts do not compare 
very favorably, from the standpoint of 
utility, with the .straight, rather scant 
outline of the redingote shown at the 
left, in the flr.st illustration. This was 
a dress that might he a jacket suit, as 
far as general appearance 
was concerned. The material 
was sand-colored Poirot tw’ill. 
The skirt was perfectly plain 
and quite scant. The rediu- 
gote was made with seam 
at waist line. The waist 
was plain and close-fitting, 
being fitted in wdth darts, 
both in back and front. I’liese 
darts were finished af the 
top with .an embroidered ar¬ 
rowhead. The front was fin¬ 
ished with revers, lik<' a 
man's coat, and was filled in 
with a high w'hite stock and 
jabot, over an organdie vest. 
The tunic Avas long and 
plain. Avith two box ])leats 
at either side of the front, 
ami four at the back. All 
doAvn one side of the opening, 
from tlie mit<h in the lapel 
to the hem, were sand-c<d- 
ored hall buttons, and all 
doAvn the < tlier side Avere 
worked buttonholes; these 
were the only trimming ex- 
(rept a gilt buckle fastening 
the narrow hidt. The long 
tight sleeA'es had six buttons 
near tlie <'ulV. 'Phis dres.s 
Avould he very desirable for a 
stout woman. giA'iug heigiit 
and dignity with its long 
lines ami ahsenci! of triju- 
miiig. hilt sand color is in¬ 
judicious for a large figure, 
as light colors have a tend¬ 
ency to increase hulk. It 
would he attractive in dark 
blue serge, or pongee, for Sum- 
able models for cottons and ginghams. 
The little dress at the left av:is plain tan 
color combined Avith Roman stripes on a 
tan ground. Sleeves and yoke Avere of 
the iilaiu material, the yoke, cut all in 
one piece, extending in a plain panel in 
the front down to the hem. There was no 
panel in the back, merely the yoke, Avhich 
fonned the Avaist, being fastened invisibly 
doAvn the center. The skirt was formed 
by t.Avo flounces of the striped material, 
cut on the bias, the sleeves being flni.shed 
with bias striped cuffs. Instead of a 
collar, a little scarf of Avhitc wash satin 
Avas knotted around the neck. This was 
a very pretty little frock, .and is a de¬ 
sirable model for plain and striped ging¬ 
ham or chamhray. 
Another Model in Stripes. — The 
mer AA’car. The plain hat 
shoAvn on this figure is sand 
colored milan faced under the brim Avith 
old blue (Jeorgette crepe. 
The New Bolero.—T he figure at the 
right shows one of the little boleros tluit 
share favor Avith Eton jackets among the 
iieAV Spring styles. This dress is the cver- 
popnlar dark blue serge. The plain 
tight .skirt narroAved slightly at the bot¬ 
tom, and had no trimming except six 
Imttams on the seam at each side. A 
short tunic or iieplmn, cut all in one 
liiece and open at the front, had ti hand 
stitched on all around the edge; this 
liaml Avas cut all in one jiiece, not being 
seamed together at the corners. A plain 
girdle of the material, fastening invisibly 
at the side, was embroidev'd in colored

central figure shows a one-piece fruck of 
]»ink and Avhite striped s'lk, .suitable for 
a girl from 12 to 10. It is A'ery simple, 
and yet softens the angles of an UAvkAvard 
groAving figure. It is cut as plainly as a 
loose Avrapper; the skirt and Avaist being 
seamed together heloAV the Avaist line in 
a battlement, deeper at front and hack 
than at the sides. A bias hand of the 
material avus stitched over this seam. 
The neek Avas cut out in a deep oval 
opening and this", as Avell as the front 
edge. Avas hound Avith the material cut 
on the bias, the Avaist being fastened 
down the fi'ont Avith round Avhite ivory 
buttons. At the natural Avaist line there 
Avas a casing on the under side about 
three inches AA'ide, termiiiat- 
iug at either side of the 
front, where there Avas a 
Avide hound buttonhole. Black 
ribbon A’eh'et was rim 
through this casing, gather¬ 
ing in the dress at the A\mist, 
the ends hanging loose in a 
loop. An Eton collar and 
chemisette of Avhite organdie 
finished the neck, the plain 
hmg sleeA'es being gathered 
into cuffs. This dress is very 
simiile. but pretty and be¬ 
coming, and suitable for a 
variety of cotton materials. 
Three Washhii/ h'roels for the Yountjer Generation 
Avools, both at laick and fi-ont. The little 
bolero Avith rounded corners just reached 
the toi) of this girdle, and had no trim¬ 
ming except a liue of stitching around the 
edge. The long tight sleeves had plain 
turn-back cuffs. This bolero Avas Avoru 
over a bloii.se of tucked AA'hite organdie 
Avith an Eton collar and a little tie of 
narrow black velvet. Sleeveless blouses 
are made to Avear under these little 
jackets. This is a very pretty and girl¬ 
ish model, especially dosirahle for blue 
serge. The little hat Avorn Avith it is a 
close toque of dark blue feathers with a 
curled fancy feather at the s-ide. Feather 
toques are still in faA'or. both the close 
round shares and also of tricornes.

all of Avash silk, but they are very desir-

’riie figure at the right shoAvs 
blue and AA'hite striped wash 
silk ; another model in which 
the skirt and Avaist are 
joined together below the 
waist line. In this case the 
loAver edge of the wai.st is 
cut in wide shallow scal¬ 
lops hound Avith a bias band 
the material. The skirt 
IS a broad panel in front, 
remainder being gathered 
at the to]>. '!l'he panel is out¬ 
lined on each side by loops 
formed of bias hands of the 
material, which are stitched into the 
seam, as though for a row of buttons, 
only there are no buttons. In the front 
of 
hi 
tlU' 
of 
a 
the Avaist, just above the Avaist liue, is 
broad horizontal slot, hotiud Avitli bias 
material, the ends of ii bias sash being 
fastened tlirough this slot, the sash being 
brought around to the back, iind there 
tied in a flat knot. The .sleeves, three- 
quarter length, had narroAV turu-imek 
cuffs, and full little nnder.sleeves of Avhite 
organdie. The organdie collar had a large 
buttonhole on either side, through Avhicli 
the bhick velvet tie Avas looped. This 
little dres.s Avonld be pretty in check or 
jitriped giiij^bani with sash, loops and 
binding of a solid color, or in plain cham- 
hrav Avitli a check or stripe used tor 
trimming. Consideration should he given to 
Aveuriug qualities, for all cottons are dear.
