Gown Gossip

Jacket bodies will be used for spring gowns for girls.

Omber or shaded silk evening toilets, fancy waists, stockings and ribbons appear among the season's novelties.

Fleece lined piques in white, pink, ciel blue and other delicate colors will be a popular material for spring shirt waists.

A wool costume is the most desirable of all the serviceable designs, and the new spring importations show a great variety of designs. 

In the exhibits of fine French hosiery are black, white and delicately colored silk stockings with the monogram on the instep, either in embroidery silk or delicate lace medallions. 

The Russian blouse, with and without the peplum or skirt below the waist (which finishes all of the regular blouses a la Russe). will rival the open fronted fancy jackets in favor during the season before us.

Fringed or pinked ruches, milliners' folds, both wide and narrow; dangling gimp fringes, chatelaine effects, brandebourgs, silk cord and chenille frogs and braids, and passementeries and appliques are among the spring styles in dress and jacket garnitures.
