The fresh ideas for
HOUSE DRESS
in enc Of Worth's designs are the
square throat filled with fine shirred
puts Of silk on wool goods, or Of satin
upon silk the turned-down collar bor-
dered with puff, and apron in the
very finest reversed putting. There is
S good deal Of dressmaking to cos
tune nowadays, the seamstresses say.
For everything in the smooth basques
! and vatican skirts depends on the ex.
cellence Of fit and adjustment, while
| the rows Of fine running-stitch, that 60
| by the dozens, to make the shirred
| founoes recall the finish that was put
on dresses in our grandmother's days.
| But these shirrings are most mischiev-
Gus things to hold the dust, and in wool
goods especially. they never look as
nice as the trim pleatings which lose no
style. The newest dresses have the
Empress overskirt, open in front and
trimmed, and held closely together wich
large bow, while the long back is drawn
in series Of dropping puffs with silk
puffs set between. This is favorite
! style for the shawl plaids, which are
trimmed with fat bands Of silk and ball
fringe in the two shades Of plaid. For
the house, the long pointed front,
trimmed to represent three aprons over
tapping each other, with three square
tabs, Of graduated length, behind halt
yard wide elabora rately trimmed. and
falling over each other, takes the place
of puffs. Everything in fashion tends
to the return Of ample skirts, with Hat
trimmings.
