************************************************FASHION'S FANCIES3 April 1913Bulgarian colors are seen in the peplum jackets of satin, worn with cloth skirts.To preserve the good lines of the soft, clinging gowns wear a low corset and brassiere.A tailored bow of a vivid color is seen under a piece of lace or net tht fills in the slashed skirt.Marie Stuart effects in collars are much used in Paris. They are carried out in velvet, satin, fur and plaited lace.Jet girdles are encircling many evening gowns. These are made of large flat jet beads arranged on a net foundation.Plaited peplums are noticeable on party frocks for young girls. They look prettiest when made of chiffon, tulle or net.Belts are high in favor on coat dresses and skirts. Usually the belt is placed just across the back to hold in a little fullness.Mantelets of taffeta made up in colors contrasting to that used in the gown are very chic. Very often these are draped to give the pannier effect.The Watteau effects are very popular and graceful on some figures. They should be avoided by the persons whose figure does ot have straight lines.-------------Bell Sleeves.Sleeves made of soft flowing material show decided change. The bell sleeve is popular, but it is much modified and not nearly so baggy as formerly.
