CO. ____ (Consolidated) . 1880 Chabot Ave. Montreal Jumper Frock for Spring. It is interesting to follow the trend of fashion each season, to note how surely and completely we come to approve approve of even the most decided change after it has been presented to us in attractive guise, at different times and on various occasions. It surely does seem, too, upon looking back some few years, that each season's changes are for the better. For instance, the full skirt; how we all pooh-poohed it when the whisper first began to circulate circulate that it was to be revived, and that our trim, youthful narrow skirt had had its day. To-day, however, the full skirt is one of the approved features of the modes, and is still growing fuller. We smile upon it approvingly approvingly now, and what, at its first appearance was looked upon as bulk and clumsiness, is now considered quaint and daintily feminine. Ribbon As Trimming. Ribbon is being used profusely as trimming on both hats and frocks. It ranges in width from the inch-wide faille or moire banding, girdling the waist of the severe little frock of taffeta taffeta or serge, or forming the perky cockade on the chic chapeau, to the wide satin,, moire, or taffeta ribbon which forms the entire skirt or bodice bodice of 'the dance frock or dinner dress. In many of the new dinner and evening dresses ribbon bows of all -descriptions are used for trimming; trimming; there are perky little bows, wide, graceful bows, simple bows with flying ends tacked on to bodice, and 695S Black Taffeta Jumper Dress. blouse of crepe de Chine, crepe Georgette, or taffeta it makes an attractive attractive costume for street and"" gen- j eral daytime wear, perfectly suitable ! without coat or other wrap. Such a ■ dress has all the appeal of a one-piece i frock, with the added attraction of j being easily freshened and changed j by the addition of a contrasting I guimpe or underblouse. One of the ! most attractive of these jumper dresses is illustrated here, developed in black taffeta, with accompanying underbodice of white crepe Georgette. The high collar, smart sleeve, and flaring- skirt present a pleasing pic- I ture. The second frock is also in j jumper effect; one of the dainty rib- ' bon girdles with long, flying ends and small cravat bow is a feature. The skirt is unusual and new, and the jumper particularly simple and smart of cut. This idea is nicely suited to either taffeta, or a fine serge. The open throat, which will probably continue continue in favor during the summer, is an attractive detail of the underblouse of crepe de Chine. A Word on Collars and Capes.
