Orcat Proportion of the New Oowni
Have Ttila Sort of Waist Finish
Many Pretty WaUtcoaU Are Also
Been Fash Ion Notes from New York.
New York correspondence
RETTX waist
coats arc a fea
ture of many new
gowns. Many sorts
arc popular, the
acceptances rang
ing from the real
ly formal, gentle
manly affair, to a
mere suggestion.
The yoke, so fre
quent an addition
to bodices, is often
planned to suggest
tho upper part of
an under waist,
orcr which a
waistcoat Is worn
to show where the
coat opens, or a
'bolero may hang
free. Often the
waistcoat is no
more than a scarf or sash effect.
Blouse waistcoats of brilliant satin are
worn with sash belting, scarlet broad
cloth, regular fancy vesting and duck in
all shades are nsed for many varieties,
or It may be elaborated beyond all the
other parts of the costume. Tailor, half
dress and evening gowns all arc made
with bolero finish, and practically the en
tire field of materials and trimmings is
available for the little jackets or their
effects. Brief consideration of the de
tails of the pictured stilts into which bo
leros enter will be lnformatory. In the
second illustration arc three such. The
first mated a red cloth skirt with a red'
velvet bolero, both having embroidery in
gold. Yoke and underslcevos were white?
satin embroidered with gilt, and the un
der bodice was white silk shot with black.
Next is shown a triple bolero of oyster
colored cloth, with plain skirt of the
same goods. At the right of the picture
is a Jacket that opened at the side. It
matched the skirt, being dark blue ladles'
cjoth trimmed with folds of black taffeta.
In the third picture is shown how the
bolero may be adapted very prettily to
low-cut Btyles. This was a white panne
velvet, appllqued with pink velvet rosea
and foliage. Gilt cord and buttons se
cured tho bolero, whose cut-out was fin
ished with white crepe de chine. Back
of this Is a very different velvet gown,
the stuff being blnck and spotted with
white. Bolero and epaulettes were cream
lace. Collar and belt were white satin
banded with crimson velvet.' Truly, the
bolero is in the best of company, and it
will remain so all winter.
Princess gowns are to be worn as much
as ever this winter, though the cut will
fall of popularity as probably It always
must. As adapted to It the bolero is
high-necked, and may be shield front.
Tiny ones of this design are made In
heavy lace or In cut-cloth stuff. A dis
tinct grade of the princess gown follows
the lines of the figure closely except right

NEWNESS ABOVE TUB BELT.
'ani some fanciful gowns show delight
fully saucy waistcoats of lace buttoned
with rhinestones. The waistcoat of to
day's initial Illustration was scarlet satin
with edge embroidered in gilt. Tho gown
of which It was a part was electric blue
cashmere, self-trliumed with stitched
folds. Yoko and collar were heavy ecru
lace. Black velret gave tho belt.
Boleros continue as the dressmaker's
delight or nightmare, according as they
are viewed. They should be the former
because of the aid they arc In attaining
originality In gowns, yet may en use much
worry over tho positive need of contriv
ing novel features. But If serious trou
ble thee be, It does not .appear on the
surface. Boleros that, aro pretty and
novel appear on every band. A glance
at tbetto pictures will show how varied
they aro in new model gowns, and this
will bo amply corroborated by observa
tion of any gathering of fashionably
In front, where It bags free. As. -a rule
women are bolted, and skirt and;hodIcin,
are separate, usually, too, somctninir
about the bodice makes It one With- tbf
skirt, though tho separate skirt is still
in demand. Entirely plain skirts are rare
except In tailor suits or unless accoiri:
panted by bodices so finished as to bo the
dominant feature of tho costume. The)
nouico or me mini gown in mo nrsc pic-i
tured group was unusual, and because of
being put with an entirely plain rtWr
became an oddity. Both skirt and bodH
Ico were dark green earners hair, but Ob
the bodice was a white cloth front fasten1
Ing with tabs and gilt buttons. In lb
first gown of the next group, which was
sketched Jn biscuit colored habit cloth,
the skirt's plainness was offset by the
addition to the bodice of a boa of white
chiffon and lace with chenille ends. This
was handsome as well as ultra-stylish. A
big gain In dressiness Is usually made,
