lFrom the NeA York Standsri, October ~.
A woman's figure contributes much more
than u generally understood to the stylish
ness of her appearance We do not approve
Of tight lacing. Wasp-waists are no more
beautiful than sensible or natural. We have
ALWAYS entertained this opinion, and are glad
that the world at large is beginning to share
il. Tell it not in Gath; but small waists
are becoming obsoleto The ultra aristocrats
even now speak Of them with a sheer, az to
merit only contempt.
A nicely but not tight-6tting corset is one
of the desideratums OF the present day. The
Thompson glove-ftting corset Is one Of the
neatest inventions Of its kind We ever re-
member having seen. 1t Is shaped similar
to Spanish waist, or bodice, while the bones
are ON the outside instead OF the inside, with
transverse seams. They have a patent adj
Unstable back, which goes on almost without
effort. These are manufactured in London,
and retail from 81 to s.. apiece.
L1 VIctorieuse is new French pan'ers
made of a worsted material, which does
away with all necessity for hoop. These
are extremely graceful, and many consider
them pleasanter TO wear than the old or,iained
skeleton"

with the tiniest of ostrich feathers, WAS u
royalty rich headgear for the coming winter
The bonne,s here are all very small, some
of them greatly resembling the reversed tub
hans.
While speaking Of the various appur1e-
nances relating to the figure, We omitted !"
mention the bon ton and Broadway spring
hustle. We do not approve of these affairs
an, way! In our opinion, artificial all
di,ions to any part of the body are not only
in poor taste, but are injurious.
| Blue cloth suits trimmed in gilt brand AMI
finished with brass buttons, are very i.umiy
affairs for ladies. Even little girls may wear
them to advantage. They are called Le
Mlia,ire, and the little i.peiied double
breasted coat has a military look very he
coming to the bright young belle.
For chiidren's every day wear there Is
nothing prettier or more servicrabie than the
English water proof. Some OF this material
is made with stripes or plaid OF gold, t|pc-
cially for dress goods. Nv" dresses "i THIS
