Infinite Variety and None Are |
Built Alike.
—
Straight and Narrow Most Prominent,
With Only Sign of Any Breadth
at Waistline.
The dresses are the great achieve
ments of a season that is still young.
Among them there Is an Infinite vari
ety and no one is built exactly like
the last one. For general lines they
use them that are straight and narrow,
the mily *ign of any breadth being seen
at t! ,it unexpected place, tlie waistline.
The line of the waist lias also dropped .
pere, ptibly and no more do we see on
the daytime frock that waistline that
starts from a point somewhere under
the arms. Mure likely is it t«» he seen
running around the hips or somewhat
above them—never an Inch above the
normal placing.
The eoat dress Is new—and useful
lr« the extreme. It is tailored quite
formally, but it has probabilities for
the insertion of feminine diversions,
that add much to its Interest. There
Is one, for Instance, made of the popu
lar blue serge, that is wrapped about
tile form from shoulder to hem. The
only variety it shows Is where one
side of the skirt laps over the other
when there suddenly appears a soft
satin lining of vivid green tone.
Another one is made of dull green
velours, chemise incut and with wide
open kimono sleeves. At the waistline,
by way of a belt, a narrow piece of
skunk fur Is seen, and. to repeat this
note of black, another hit of the fur is
used at the left side of file standing
collar, when* it buttons tightly under
the ear.
Many of the collars on these dresses
are made high and thick In appear
ance. None of them fit the neck as in
reasons past.
It is almost necessary now to use
two materials in the shaping of a mod- j
lsh frock. The idea was started from
a thought of conservation and it sur
vives largely because of its sliced
beauty. For afternoon and dinner
gowns, printed silks and chiffons are
used in combination with plain silks
and chiffons. Then for more worka
day occasions combinations of wool
and silk sire more usual.
The straight flat panel Is one of the
successes of the day and Is seen in
every possible phase. Fsiially, though,
it must hang from shoulder to hem at
back, without any interruption sis to
waistline. In the front, however, it
may be confined or not according to
whim or taste.
NARROW SKIRT, TUNIC BLOUSE
Substitute for Tailleur Promises to Be
One of Season's Most Popular
Garments.
As n compromise between the cont
suit nml the slim frock which ninny
women choose for autumn street wear
there is a costume which may soon be
overridden by popularity. It consists
of n narrow skirt nml a tunic blouse
that fails below the hips and Is loose- .
ly girded with a monastic cord. The
blouse has no visible fastening. It ap
parently does not open. In truth some
of them do not open.
They slip over the head and adjust
themselves with the earelessnes of a
peasant’s smock. If they wore tightly ;
banded at the waistline with yards of j
brilliant material they would be defl- 1
nitely Arabian and quite brilliant in j
effect. They do not permit a girdle
to touch them.
They have a monk's cord carelessly
twined below the waistline, knotted
and dropped in tasselled ends at front
or side.
AFTERNOON GOWN IN BRONZE
1
The basque has reappeared. Here
Is an interesting Illustration of Its use
In an afternoon gown of bronze satin
crepe. The side opening Is an attrac
tive feature, and the oddly cut buttons
with the finishing touch of molo at
the neck add to its beauty.
WAIST OF FLESH GEORGETTE
Simple yet extremely becoming is
this bijou waist of flesh georgette. The
double collar of knife plaiting, the
turnback cuffs, held by bows of moire
silk and the box plaits with an inter
esting line of hemstitening through
the center are Items worthy of note.
BEADED NOVELTIES ARE HERE
Woven Chains for Neck Wear Among
the Attractive Trinkets Which
Have Been imported.
Among the trinkets which have been
imported to this country and are sell
ing in various place* arc chains to he
worn around the neck. To say that
they are woven does not in the least
degree describe tin* intricacy of the
patterns and designs.
One, for Instance, of electric blue
and silver beads, Is woven in patches
about an inch and a half long by a
half inch wide, strung together by a
dozen nr more strands of the heads, on
straight strings, these strands being,
again, about two inches in length. At
the end, for a pendant, there is a
sipiare. dangling midway between the
throat and waist, woven in an en
largement of tin* pattern displayed in
the other bits of weaving. The pat
tern is nut distinct. It lias an elusive
way with it, being a design In the
silver with a background of tin* shim
mering blue beads.
This chain, or whatever you wish to
call it, was worn with a street gown
of black satin. Tin* gown itself was
entirely without trimming and it had
one of those \ery popular and beauti
ful neck lines reaching in a straight
line from shoulder to shoulder. This
enabled the chain to show against the
whiteness of skin for a space, and then
to appear shining against the shiny
blackness of tin* satin. The effect was
decidedly interesting, and the heads
held one’s attention as a beautiful
Jewel might have done.
GOWNS AND HATS OF WHITE
These Promise to Be Prime Favorites
This Winter, Velvet to Figure
Prominently.
White is to have a vogue this winter.
I.nng white emits 11 ri* very smart in
deed. So much is white to be in evi
dence this season that smart milliners
are bringing nut many hats of white
velvet, or at least allowing some trim
ming of tills sort Introduced lu re and
there. After one has left youth far
behind white needs must skillful treat
ment to lie worn lieeomingly. It is al
ways best to subdue it wherever pos
sible with some binding or overdrap
iug of latticed cPfert.
Nothing could lie prettier than the
new dinner gowns of white velvet.
They are unrelieved by any sort of or
nament. Now Unit well-dressed wom
en do not wear jewelry of any sort,
there is not even a gleaming diamond
permitted to lie worn with these dead
white frocks. No sleeves, no corsage
decorations and no sashes appear. One
can readily see Unit only I he freshness
of youth and the most pronounced
beauty can successfully carry off a
white velvet frock. They may he
summed up in the brief verdict; Beau
tiful—at least to behold.
Along with the vogue of white Is
Hint for a combination of black and
white, always much favored, hut
again a fashion demanding skillful
treatment to be successful.
EXTRA WARM EVENING WRAPS
Favored Garment Folds Around Figure
and Has Double Thickness
Over Chest.
Certain economists buy a semlform
al frock that will serve for gay hours
between four and twelve p. m. with Its
own coat, which relieves them from
the purchase of an extra evening coat,
or keeps the one they possess for use
for special occasions. This Is after all,
an extravagant trick, the critics say,
for one warm long coat should serve.
The wrap of the hour Is warm and
heavy. It is no longer of chiffon nor
does it show itself in cupe form. It
folds around the figure and has a
double thickness over the chest. Furs
are heaped on it, and, often, there is a
return to the fashions of Charles II
In the loose undersleeve of fur that
comes out from the wide upper sleeve.
This idea, by the way, Is carried out In
a few street clothes, and it cutches the
fancy of those who abominate the
hiatus between the edge of a flaring
sleeve and the hund.
And such sleeves are warm. They
act lise a padded muff.

SUGAR BEET GROWERS
MAKING GOOD MONEY
SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 3. Checks
totaling more than $5,000,000 were
mailed to growers of sugar beets in
this inter-mountain section by the six
sugar-manufacturing companies which
operate twenty-three sugar factories in
Utah. Idaho and Washington. The
payments constitute the final settle
ments for last year's crop of sugar
beets, with the possible exception of
a few thousand tons which were still
in the ground in the middle of De
cember.
Farmers received approximately $10
a ton for sugar beetB in Utah this sea
son. Early in November payments of
more than $7,000,000 were made by
the several companies operating in
this territory. The total beet crop
for this season was more than 1,200,
000 ton, which is considered a satis
factory yield.
The sugar factories will be oper
ated for a period of from 90 to 120
days, it depending upon the tonnage
received at the various plants. The
average run for the season at all
plants is 100 days. The aggrcggato
output will run about 3,000,000 sacks.
it is estimated, worth about $30,
000,0011.
