THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1914. Whether the new pose of the figure, â- 6 universally adopted f>y the woman > ,«f fashionâ€"easy, drooping, swayingâ€" -Htofresponslble for the vagaries of the , present modes, or whether recent styles have permitted, then demanded this lithesome carriage it is dlllienlt to say. But it has served to provided the motif .'of Spring and Summer styles, which . are designed first of all to emphasize • the natural lines of the figure. The high-waisted front effects pre- vail, in both suits and costumes. Id suit jackets this is attained by means of slanted seams or cleverly arranged , belts and the cut of the bottom of the ' jacket, which is made to slope gradu- ally from the front to the under arm seam. The backs are usually quite square across. The strictly tailored models are very short, reaching barely to the curve of the hip line. Long , sleeves, of course, set in with stitill- ing are correct for the street suit. :_â- ; The Skirts of these models are sim- ple, and scant at the bottom though with a decided fullness at the top. achieved by means of loosely set tucks starting at the.waist line, or else by a draping at Hie back. Tunic effects,â€" the tunic being fuller than the under- skirt,â€"are much used. ._,_______ ^~ ^^JD-the^drcssier suits the Eton style is good, with a slightly elongated back. Postilion backs are also seen, although the preference seems to be for a length that reaches just to the waist line or a few inches below. Kimono sleeves in seven-eighths length are well liked on suits designed for wear on semi-dress occasions. The one requisite of fabrics for the Spring suit or gown Is suppleness. Worsted crepes, that lend themselves well to draping are much used; gabar- dines are in high ftrnir, and shepherd checks, in a variety of colorings as well as plaids in soft, dull colorings wlh be much worn. Crepe poplin is especially suitable for the dressy suit and crnquele effects likewise make up smartly. The most noticeable chart,, ieii«ti<- of the new coats is the decided Hare which has been evolved to foljow the lines of the new gowns with their full ness about the hips. They are cut in a variety of lengths, none «»f them full length and few extremely short. oeep set-iir"Sleeves antf the Large buttons form the principal trimming notes, though on the dressier models drop ornaments are used to good effect, such as tassels, passemen- terie or cord drops. GOWNS I'Oll SPRING ARE IJMP AND LOVELY loose mantle Sleeves predominate. Yoke effects, sometime*, in n.e fi,.i.t or back, often both, arc fn^hiowjible.

How well they have succeeded is demonstrated by Iheir charming creations for Spring and Summer. Adopting only the softesr fabrics they have been able to swirl flounces â€"three-tiers of them, sometimes.â€"and tunics and ruffles about the hips and still preserve the slim and graceful silhouette. On the silk frocks especially, one sees rows of scant flounces at the lower edge of a tunic, or springing from a draped hip (iridic. The tunic in various forms is prom- inent, on foundations that, continue narrow at ±ka Jjutiuim. W1m>» ^Irupery iHiised it is hroucht to the back f T • such a way as to suggest the old bustle backs. Peg-top styles remain in good taste for the simpler frocks, while modi tied minaret models do not lack favor. The bodices of these new costumes show no very radical innovations.

Especially chic was a model designed for street wear having a tunic of checked crepe over an under- skirt of white ratine. Silks of various weaves, so long as they are supple, hold first place in the season's list of fabrics. Messallne. cliarmeose, crepe meteor, indeed satlu- t'iiced silks of all descriptions are In high favor because of their particular (adaptability to the draped and clinging 'modes of today. Chiffon taffeta has jleen employed In the making of so many of the most attractive Spring "•stnmes that great popularity is pre- dicted for it. Printed silks, 'the pat- terns of many suggested by Chinese and Japanese embroideries, are ex- pected likewise to score a success. Crepe de chine continues on the crest of popularity, both in the plain fabric nnd ornamented with Jacqtiard figures, Canton crepes and a new variety. Tus- sjih, which lends itself readily to the production of a rippling surface are extensively used. It is preeminently a season of crepes in wash goods also, with voiles and C^tines. the latter in many new weaves, oTceplTOuaMy Strong: = ra The vogue for plaids and printed effects extends to the wash fabrics as well noil some delightful novelties have been brought out that permit clever I i..-age iu cumuli' terials. Colors for Spring show a decided reaction against the vivid hues of the past season. Paste! shades are much in evidence. Paquin blue, plum, fuchsia, fete de negre and the new Tango shadeâ€"a peculiar brownish colorâ€"are well liked. Dull Itusslan green must le Included as \Wi as leaf green.

The Medici collar and V opening dis- tinguish the majority of the models vogue for combinations of materials and colors makes possible many clever blouse and skirt costumes of real dis- tinction. The separate skirt this season has been developed in an unlimited variety of styles and fabrics. Tunic effects, peg-tops, and ruffled models lead in popularity. Fancy materials, particu- larly plaids, and checks are much used. Crepe effects, serges and gabardines are hes often supplemented lalso most successfully employed; â€" Some very good looking black tafrrfu skirts are being shown, made up in t:>e double tunic and three tier styles. favorite finish for the tunics of t!iesp models is the edge in the form of pointed, round or square scallops.
