used on the basque and over-sklrt OF
redingote. The close coat sleeve has
narrow pleating of silk falling over the
wrist, with cuff above, or else three
folds laid overin loops on the side ana
each held by button.
UPPER SKIRTS AND NEW DRAPERY.
Notwithstanding the popularity. OF
redingotes and of fully trimmed skirts
with basques, upper skirts are by no
means banished, but will hold their
own for yet another season. These are
invariably long, and two designs meet
with most favor. The first Is composer
of from two TO four square-eornered
breadths, open in front TO disclose
tablier, or else Tapped near the OeiI'
These are usually very little trimme9'
and are draped TO form pout Denlhdi
or else two wings. The other Is large
apron, often finished by flouncei ana
rounded up the sides to disclose the
| fiounces on the back breadths. THESE
two STYLES, it will be seen, are the re-
verse Of each other. a third fancy has
A single wide breadth of silk falling on
each side, showing something of both
front and back trimming; the last has
the front sides cut off shorter and
squarely, while the back is very long,
and may be caught together by sashes.
In all such over-skirts it is necessary
that the upper skirt breadths should be
sewed into the belt of the lower skirt,
and also that they be tackled low down
on the under-skirt. This also does away
with the ungraceful habit many ladies
have of lifting up the oyer-skirt when
seating themselves.
The pretty effect of new drapery is
given by strings attached TO the side
seams, and tied so closely behind the
person that the side seams almost touch
each other. POlOnaises, redingotes, and
even the Open-frOnt over-skirts are pro-
vided with these strings; other strings
then falling from the belt aud buttoned
below form the soft, easy, careless-loOk-
ing pouf.-Bd-dr.
