TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAXD, OCTOBER 1, 1922 ORNATE FRENCH RETICULES IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLICATE New Bag Models From Paris Are Marvels of Art and Despair of Would-Be Home Producers. MS1 AS IMPOSSIBLE to copy at home as gold-mesh bags are the new bag models from Paris. Any woman could make for her self a beaded bag If she had the patience. But even the cleverest home skill will balk at tackling one of these ornately decorated reticules. Two of the new models are pic tured fresh arrivals from a Paris shop. One of these highly decora tive bags is of finely pleated silk fi - 4 ? ' 1 "Problems DrQitvakitiX . ' v by Madam RicKeir - v . (Continued From First Pag-fi.) BkJrt at a low waist line, trimming the seam of joining with the cord looping- and in a double row, the upper row looping upwards and the lower downward. Have a vest of the satin as used for the in sets and let the edges of your waist, following the line of your vest, have the same cord trim. With this fea ture there will be no need for the collar. Your sleeves are in splen did style just as they are, for the tight sleeve is equally as popular as the loose type of arm covering. For a distance of six inches from the sleeve's bottom edge there should be the trim as aforemen tioned. Wear the narrow string girdle with long ends and satin ball drops. By attaching your jacket and skirt at the low waist there will be an opportunity to obtain the longer skirt, which Bhould be no more than five or six inches from the floor line. The slashed pockets will in no measure detract from the frock if in remodeling they appear. This plan of change will give you A most attractive frock. ALBANY. Or. Der Madam Richet: I m i" years old. have dark blue eyes, fair complexion, golden brown hair and lota of color. I wish to get a wool drca Xor fall and winter general wear but can not decide on either the style or color. Please choose a style for me from De lineator. Pictorial Review or M-Ca)l. I prefer simple linen, but smart. What color would you suggest? A READER. A Reader. Albany. Or. A better selection of dress could be made had. you mentioned your proportion, for the tall figure requires one line and the ehort build another. If tall, wear a frock of reindeer duvetyn with the black moire trimming made after the model shown in the Pictorial Fashions, No. 9568. The cross trim is exceedingly becoming to the tall person. And should you be short select stich a dress as is pictured tn the September Delin eator, page 28. No. 3917. A French bluo broadcloth, vest, upper collar, facings and hand work in the black atin nd rop silk with the black fringe or te lur trim as an addi tional feature of charming value. If got too tall you can wear it as well as the shorter figure. Perplexed. Your letter is so lacking in continuity that I am sure you have omitted many lines you perhaps meant to write. Please write strain and on one side only, and I shall be ghfti to be of service to you. Also enclose the samples taich were missing. POnUVD.-Hpw a. silk dreaa like trtiFl".

The surplice line is always good for the stout figure, particularly when the lower edge falls well over the skirt. With, the -fi eS. r -v-v J: with an Intricate pattern of flowers and leaves in bright color all made of tiny bits of appllqued silk a French version of patchwork per haps. The other bag Js of glossy black ribbon in overlapping crosswise pleats, and the pattern, still more intricate, is made of appliqued gold braid and colored silk. The quaint figure is of appliqued silk, hand painted. Both bags have straight-across frames of handsomely carved metal. width you have in the skirt you ehould have sufficient for a side drape and while rather "stingy Btill the line will be pleasing, let cut the box pleats, of course. Re move your belt and let your waist drop to the lowest possible line, therefore producing a straight line surplice rather than, the fold type. An excellent example of this par ticular feature appears in the Octo ber McCalTs, page 71, No. 2878. Edge the side of drape, the waist and the sleeves with the black chenille, using the running etltch. A pair of jet buttons at the bottom point of the surplice will be an attractive touch. The vest I would have of the filet lace dyed to match the gray of your taffeta. Slash your sleevea to the elbow and line the under edges in the black clre. Your dress will not seem at all plain and unattractive when you will have made these changes. Purchase one and a quarter yards of the 54-inch satin crepe in the jade green and make in the over blouse Russian type, embroidering the side-front band and the loose sleeve edges in a three-inch band of black rope silk and the gold thread. Have your skirt ..material dyed to match the blouse and a longer skirt length can be obtained by piecing under the blouse skirt. This will make a stunning frock and a serviceable one as welL If your material is too heavy for real comfort made as a dress, then I would match as well as colors will permit and add the eide set-in cut in the circular shape, which will be seen more and more as the months go by, for good readers the circular skirt and the tight sleeve are claiming an important place in the fashion world. Then lengthen your jacket with a band to such depth as shall give a becoming line. The jackets are very much longer than last season. If yu cannot obtain a good match then use the taupe shade, which is always attractive with the blue. A pretty connecting band of the black braiding can be placed over the joining seam. Whether you have the blue or the taupe, have the collar and cuffs of the latter shade edged with the braiding. Kindly Ue but one side of the paper when addressing this depart ment. Dear Madame Richet: I have a dark blue velvet Jumper dress that X would like to make over or rather combina with other material to make a dance frock. What material and what color would you suggest ? X am 20 years eld, weigh 210 pounds, and am 5 feet 1 Inches in height, have medium brown htar and gray eyea, a rather dark akin. Could. I wear the henna shade J Thank you. v D. H. P. D. H. P. The velvet will serve a far better purpose as an afternoon frock, combined with the printed crepe In the Persian designs and the very wide type of sleeve which baa i the dolman line. This latter named sleeve is well suited to the jumper dress for a remodeling. However, if you have really made up your mind that the velvet must be an evening gown then have-the dress of silver lace and the skirt used as a drape- on the righV side only. The waist made in the bloused and long-waisted line with the short cap ,s,eeve and the velvet placed in the strap effect on front and back oi waist. You will require 2-h yards of lace in the 40-inch width. TILLAMOOK, Or., Sept. 4. Dea Madame Richet; X need a wool dreaa for street wear in a small town; alao a dress for evening and informal wear. I am 24 years old. ft feet 8 inches, weigh 83 pounda--32 bust and 23 waiat. I am of a. light completion with, light brown bair and blue eyea If you have something t suggest would be very grateful. Thanking you . MRS. B. S. Mrs. E. S., Tillamook, Or. For one of yOur dajnty figure there seems nothing in better line tnao the one-piece with the blouse at normal waist line and the rather full skirt there attached the entire left side havinir the length band trim In a two-inch width. The round neck carrying an Inch width stand insr collar. A fir green duvetyn with the Russian side trim embroidered in the black and fawn rope silk would be very attractive. The collar may be of black taffeta with an lnlining of tailor stiffening. This will afford you a splendid street frock and becoming one. You will rehuire for the above dreaa 3 yards of 36-lnch material and -yard for collar. Butterick pattern No. 380. For the evening dress and Infor mal wear why not a. French blue crepe de chine, the general line quite like the one above described with the fastening at the back? A slight blouse at the waist and the skirt with 1 yards. The main feature should be a Puritan collar of ten inoh cream or silver, which slightly gathers around the round neck. The drop of the collar over the arm forms a cap but a longer sleeve can be added, using either the crepe or the lace. On the left side falls a loop and end, the latter longer than the skirt line. At the right side of the softly cruehed girdle have a whirl of the lace, from which fall soveral lengths of half-inch velvet ribbon matching the blue crepe. You will need 3 yards of the 36-lnch crepe and 14 yards of the lace, from & to 10 inches in width. BEAVERTON, Or. Dear Madam Richet: Would like your advice In mak ing over a dress of inclosed material and will buy trimming or suitable contrasting material as you suggest. If possible I would like a pattern if you could give me the number and periodical. The dress at present Is made with waist to normal waist line and three-piece skirt. Walat has two pieces 15 inches long and 11 Inches wide, one piece 15 inchea long and ID Inches under arms. Sleeves are long and full to elbows. Skirt b three- piece, 87 inches Jong, front pieces id inches wide, back 48 inches at hem. J.4 at waist. It has 31-inch waist. I am 5 feet 7 inches tall, 36-Inch bust, 28 waist and 43 hips; dark bue eyes, brown bair, medium complexion. Which colors would I wear beat? Age 28. My sister would also like help with a dreea of similar color and material which Is now made two pieces straight from the shoulder to hem. MRS. ETHEL. M. JOHNSON. Mrs. Ethel M. Johnson, Beaverton, Or. For your dress, which by the way you do not mention as to a vest front or plain, I would suggest a model whose scheme of embroidery will be the feature of change and, too, the in-set of waist will allow more freedom of blousing than you now have. With your material have the fawn shade with the hand-work In the blue and black worsted and made after the dress shown in the Butterick Quarterly, page 25, No. 3787. Steal from your skirt about two strips and use in the panel trim as pictured. For your sister's dress there would seem a solution in combining It with a printed crepe, binding the edges of her. dress with j the cire ribbon. The type pictured i the September Delineator, pasre 25, No. 3925, will be a splendid i guide. MT. SOLO. Wash. Have a blue surge suit tuxedo collar, the jacket Is 'JS inches long and has slit pockets. The skirt is 34 Inches long and has set-in Dockets. Could I have a bloused waist and use the skirt for panels over black satin? Would liKe sleeves made on tne lining ma I nave much trouble with sleeves. I am o feet 6. weigh 130, have lisrht brown hair and eyea MRS. B. O. Mrs. B". G., Mt. Solo, Wash. Join the serge blouse at a low waistline to a satin -skirt, either in a black or a blue matching your material. Use your present skirt tor the panels, four in number and as wide as becoming, but not more than ten inches and all longer than the satin drop. By having the long waistline you can have the length in the panels. Cut the large sleeve eye and have the wide sleeve of satin with the "half-inch widths of serge run in five rows beginning two inches from the bottom edge of your sleeve and placed at intervals of a half imoh. The skirt panels should have the same trim with the satin strips. The vest of satin edged with one-half inch strip and the girdle a combination of the satin and serge braided in an inch strip. , With the strip as a trim to the front and round or square neck, a collar will not be necessary unless you feel more ''dressed" with the white turn-over of lace and should you, I would then have the cream filet. Fasten your waist at the left side of vest.. Such a design as here planned will give .the style I am sure you, wish and will make a splendid dress for the fall and winter wear. PORTLAND. Would you kindly ad vise me in regard to using materials (samples enclosed) in combination for dress? The dark blue serge is a plain skirt, 33 inches long and 2 1-3 yards wide. Is it possible to make use of the old coat? Have thought of using pattern Si00 In September Delineator, page 28. but the yoke seam in the coat would have to stay in the drees. Per haps you can suggest a more suitable pattern, if you think the materials are worth the trouble. Both are old. but in good eonditlon, . M. W. M. W. Your letter leaves the im pression that you wish to combine the materials as samples enclosed. If so, the dress on the same page, but No, 3S94, will be a far better model and will produce a better result' In general line. The yoke at the back will be a very distinctive feature and will not lessen the charm of the garment. Your skirt Is too wide and will thus afford ample material to make the collar and- deep cuff trim. Have the buttons made of the lighter blue. The two materials are not at all an unhappy combination and quite in teresting in color tone. If I have mistaken your, letter kindly let me know. PORTLAND. Or., Sept. 10. Dear Madame Richet: Inclosed is a sample on which I should like lie Ip. It was a skirt for a large woman and X would like to make a dress of It for myself If poasibie. There are eight gores each 43 Inches long. Two are 21 inches at bottom and lit at top, the others about 18 bottom and 1 2 top. The material is In excellent condition. I am 5 feet 6 inches tall, 38 bust, 26 waist, 33 hips, weight 135 pounds. I stand straight. My hair is brown, eyes gray-blue, complexion ordinary, age 30 ye.rs. I should like the dress for street and geneiul wear this winter. Please sug gest material to combine with it and about how much; also trimming. I have two chi'oren so the dress must be prac tical. MRS. L. L. W. Mrs. L. I W. With your material of interesting weave I would have the under drop skirt of henna can ton, also the vest, under arm and' the sleeves, the latter slightly i fitted t the top and sradualij widening at the bottom edge, which! should measure 18 inches around. The skirt a yard and three-quarters at the edg with an over trim tour panels, which should be made from your first two mentioned, the other two being used for the front and back panel of a slightly-bloused waist, which joins the skirt three inches below the normal waist line. Piece out the top of the -skirt pan els with what is cut from the bot torn side edge and keep the great est width you can. Let the pan els hang two inches below the skirt edge. Bead the panels in . a two inch band designs, trimming the lower edgesand ten Inches upwards. The upper edges, ten inches down ward. The remaining portion can be bound with the self material of 1 . . . the canton of henna shade. The piecing, if well done, will not show in your material as it has the rough texture. Now that we have planned the skirt let us take up the waist. The lower side edge of the panels should have the same line and band trim as the panels. Let the strip run upwards to a height of six inches, giving the effect of being in one with the outer edge band of panel on skirt. The front panel is continued to the shoulder seam and forms the neck edge at sides, con tinuing down the front in a gen erous length, in U shape. The hen na vest is then set in at a pleas ing line, its straight upper edge forming a square neck, The back panel runs in plain line to the sholder seam fith a slightly- rounded neck and bloused line at waist. The lower side edges are trimmed in front. The set-in sleeve pf henna has 1 the same band trim around the bottom edge and an in verted U as a side trim to the lower half of the sleeve, thus matching the front panel trim, with the ex ception of the Inverted line. Should you prefer the line you can have the kimona sleeve, therefore cut ting in one with the under arm piece. The sleeve in either case should be wrist length. Bead the edges as described in a combination of the black gunmetal and the hen na iridescents. Waist fastens on shoulder and under the left side of front panel. You will require with your height two and three-fourths yards of canton. The narrow girdle of the henna would be attractive beaded in the design as used on the panels or in the plain row trim. Should you not care to take the time for tne bead ing then use the same color scheme in the rope silk and the same de sign of band trimming. WASCO. Or. Dear Madam Richet Please suggest a way to freshen up the dress pictured which will make it iasn lonable for this winter. It is of fine tricotine. braid trimmed. I would like to nut a color with it; can wear any thing but dull green, being a brunette with color. The dress is cut well, I think accord inc to oresent mode; has overskirt In. panel form to below knees; underskirt ia tla-ht. (Jouia x cnange necK ana sleeves? Would a sash be suitable? Any help will be appreciated. MRS. J. u. Mrs. J. Wasco, Or. For the dress you mention I am wondering if you would like tne side in-sets or the knife pleated satin matching tn shade of your material, which you do not state, and through your braiding introduce the steel beads with your narrow girdle almost sol idly beaded? Inasmuch as you have the color, you do not require the gayer beading and the eteel al ways lends a sense of refinement and style. Then around the neck line and the bottom edge of sleeves I would have the plated frill about four inches in depth, -which would very happily link the skirt feature used for widening, as well as giving to your frock a very new touch. Thi frilled trimmings are being shown on many of the newest models, many having the bib line in front and back. WOODBURX. Or. I have a dark blue tricotine suit, almost black, tuxedo style, which I wouad like made into a fall suit with closed front and high collar. This is all wool tricotine or. good ma terial and am unable to say whether I could match this any place in stores around here, both as to quality and color. so would like you to suggest some other material, if need be, that X could use to fill in. I also have a brown velour winter coat, three-quarters length, which I would tike made longer. Do you think I could put fur collar and cuffs and fur bottom on it wlthood results? m MRS. I. C. Mrs. I. C, Woodburn, Or. The vest, coPlar and the cuffs of your suit can be of the taupe broadcloth which is being used with the serge and the tricotine suits. The vest brought up in the straight line with a high standing collar will be seen on the winter models. Some of the collars have the turnover collar in tKe standing type. The velour coat you mention will be very much up-to-the-minute, with the fur used in the manner you have in mind. The stage models, which are always leaders for the later styles, show the entire lower half of fur, so you see you will have a really beautiful wrap should you foljpw your plan of re modeling. ORES HAM, Or. I have a black char meuse dreaa like sample, made like en closed picture. The panels, collar and sleeves are lined like green sample. The frpnt V-shaped piece is also of green. What, if any. trimming shall I use and in what color, or black? I am A feet & inches, weigh 130 pounds, have auburn hair, reddish complexion and 30 years old. I do not like things over-trimmed. . ' PERPLEXED. Perplexed, Gresham, Or. Your combination is beautiful and the one thing which would seem to require as a finish would be the black chenille following closely the de sign shown on your cut. Be sure when using the chenille to pull the way of its flosey finish, otherwise you will roufrh up the silk flat texture. PORTLAND, Or. T have inclosed a picture from McCail'a quarterly. What color and material would you suggest for the wai.-t? How would canton crepe look, with midnight blue tricotine Can wear most any shade. Also will the dr: -hades of corduroy be worn this j. tfnd winter? G. W. M. i. W. M. Your cut shows a most attractive frock and I cannot offer a better combination than you have mentioned. Use a henna or the paprika shade for- waist and the braiding as shown, the soutache being very effective for that type of design which deals with the serpentine and the all-over band with scroll on sicirt. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 8. Dear Madame Richet: I am planning to go to college and have very little idea of what my wardrobe should consist. I want it to be complete, but still with out any extraa X w!sh to tnak as many as possible of my things so that I may have more and nicer ones.

The sport skirt is a tweed or plaid" -with the pongee Peter Fan blouse and the slipover sweater of harmonfxins; shade always makes a splendid and good-lookins outfit for the schoolroom. For the afternoon dress which will answer the need of the informal so cial affairs there is the duvetyn or the tricotine if you prefer the lat ter. The Pictorial for Ootober shows on -page 8. No. 1286 of its monthly fashion slip, a splendid type for the tall figure. The vest I would have of the same, braids in the soutache. The side trim is especially good for the lengthy proportion. For the evening dress a jade green georgette or Chiffon made over the silver cloth and in a drape at side with the strands of crystal beads dropping from the waist line in skirt length. The ripple cascade I would have In a combination of the silver and the material of jade. See the Butterick fall issue. No. 3770, on page 9. ine wen-cut coat with the becom ing shade will be necessary. Fash ionable Dress for October has on page 39, No. 2177, a good model for tail women. For the under garments there Is nothing more easily tubbed than the pongee, which can be obtained In many shades. The knickers, the cj-.mlsole and the Princess slip made to aot as an underskirt and there fore longer than the chemise is a very popular and nrettv bit of fem inine apparel. Have the blouse dyed black and tnen introduce with the black bean. ing now on the garnet Iridescents which will add a rich tone to the black. Dear Madam Richet: Will you please help me plan a dress for winter of sample No. 1? It had been made into a aununer coat, but worn very little and Jhe material is cood as now. I have a skirt portion 31 Inches ions. 68 Inches at bottom, 44 at top; a piece of the foods ao inches lona-, 16 Inches wide at one end. 8 Inches at the other end: a belt 35 Inches long-, 3 tnches wide. Would It be all right to combine with a taffeta matching in color as near as I could, making a long waist joined to skirt? Will tha dress need some other color, as piping or embroidery. I em 5 feet 6 inches tall, weigh 111 pounds, have dark brown hair, gray-brown eyea and a clear complexion. ut very little color. sample .No. 2 is like a suit I have worn L'or five years, but is still like new.

Luella. Of all lucky people I should say you were among them, for your materials are not only In teresting in texture but color. For the brown have a long waist of the fawn canton, to the yardage of one and three-quarters. Join to the ma terial as per sample at a long wa'st line, fastening at the back with the canton buttons, small in size. Square necK. line and rather closely fitted sleeve, wrist length. The neck line and the sleeve edges and skirt will be made more attractive by a band design done in the brown soutache braid In a shade matching your skirt. For the girdle trim I would feature the very interesting turban type, which is a fold of both ma terials losely braided or entwined and placed over the joining seam which connects the waist and skirt. With this type of belt trim the ends are better eliminated. For your equally popular colored suit, now called periwinkle, have the side in-sets of the pleated duve tyn in a taupe or light reindeer shade and the collar and deep cuffs as well. The Gainsborough cuff is again favored. It ia from eight to ten inches in depth and flared. The length of your Jacket is splendid and with the contrasting material used for the portions above named and for the buttons as well, I would not advise the braiding or the em broidery, as it would then be, over done. The new collar can be gen erous in depth and join in one graceful line the front opening where the top button appears. This will add a new line and give change from the notched corner shown Ic sketch. Dear Madam Richet: I have a black broadcloth skirt I wish to make over nto a one-piece dress.

Dear Madam Richet: I have a black chiffon taffeta dress made like inclosed sketch, which I would like to remodel. There were ten rows of heavy cording on the overskirt where I have drawn lines in the sketch, but I have ripped them out and find that the stitching shows some. Plnce ripping the cording out the overskirt Is longer than the underskirt, making It possible to do away with the latter. All edge, on waist are finished with a tiny cording. The sleevea are aet onto an underbody. 1 am 20 yeara of age, 5 feet S Inches tall and weigh about 130 pounds. Have dark brown hair and eyes, rather fair complexion with some color. What colore should I wear? Have Just finished a sweater blouse made In the henna and white. Will you please tell me what sort of skirt would look well with it for wear this fall and winter? Also I have a beautiful red fox fur scarf. Would you adviae having it dyed black and made into a choker or merely dyed? Can one have white kid gloves dyed ? Will appreciate your Advice very much. BROWN EYES. Brown Eyes, Camas. Wash. For the black taffeta there is very little change Decessary. Drop your skirt to a longer length, having the slx-inch-from-the-floor measure. The wider bottom edge Is just the thing. Should the lowering" mean a apace between the blouse edire and the skirt top, piece out with the drop you are now discarding. For the blouse I would leave it just as it is with the exception of the points at the back and the widening belt. For the color scheme use the wor steds in the green, geranium, royal blue, copper and purple, faeieot band design and cover the stitching marks left by the cord ripping.
