Summary[edit]

Description
English: it's another fashion vignette from the Tacoma Times, with a lengthy caption describing the 1904 fashion illustrated therein.
  • Text: When Martha went to call on Mrs. Terry she wore her good clothes, though she didn't try to look so fine as Mary Malin did. But when I watched from the parlor window, saw her turn and go up the walk I thought she looked a great deal prettier and years younger than Mary did that day she called. Martha's dress was simple and inexpensive, all but the embroidery. The dress was of white Swiss, with a yoke and skirt strappings of Swiss embroidery. The straps of embroidery were set over a shirred yoke, and were especially becoming, for she isn't so full-chested as I wish she were. The belt was a fitted girdle of pale pink satin. Above the collar of Swiss embroidery was a touch of the same pink, in a fold, with a bit of fine, narrow lace falling over the edge. Her hat is a dream; I haven't seen one prettier. It is one of the "lingerie" hats and is made entirely of narrow white valenciennes lace. A pretty fall of lace hangs over the low back. Two soft pink roses carry out the pink and white effect. She wore white gloves and her parasol was pale pink.
Mrs. Terry said the other day that nothing makes a woman look more charming than this following out of colors. Martha thinks Mrs. Ted has excellent taste. The idea of calling her Mrs. Ted! Martha started it and the young people have all taken it up. They will be calling her that to her face, first thing they know.
