and habits. Some skirts will be draped.
other flat, some pulled and others cling
ing. Not that all limits are to be abol-
lshed, though, for there will still be Ger
tain peculiarities Of ia brio and trimming
which will stamp the era of the garment,
and tell unerringly to an expert when it
was made.s Ihe cutaway coat will be
among favorite styles, since it forms a
convenient wrap, ind is we'll suited to the
slender American figure.
a good plan is to have basque under
meath, which may be worn without the
jacket, but which under it gives the effect
OF a vest. In such case the sleeves are
set IN the basque and the jacket has the
arm holes merely corded. AS usual,
crlnollne is predicted, a prediction which
we do not credit. Nothing is SO well
adapted to the slight American figure as
the long straight cuirass or the glove
lifting prlncesse; nothing so softens the
outlines OF an angular, or deals so kindly
with stout figure; therefore, women are
not going readily to adopt either hustle
or hoopskirt. "Thev wore them long
time, and not SO long ago, either" Yes,
out the hoopsklrt came as an emancipa-
ton from bondage, blessed relief to
overwhelmed hips. Full skirts were
worn before its adoption, and to ssset out"
properly was the object of every woman's
desire. AS many as ten stiffly starched
petticoats were often worn in full dress.
and one may imagine the fatigue ana in
jury from dancing all night under such a
burden. The crlnoline gradually grew
smaller and narrower. and the hustle or
tournure was it's last form Ia form which
died hard. Then, to everyone's surprise,
the glove fitting cuirass was fond to be
graceful and becoming, showing of
good figure to advantage and at least not
exaggerating bad one.
Therefore we think that the dav
OF crinolines is not yet that most
killed suits will be killed only to
the knee, and that til princisse
robe with long.narrow train will
yet for more than one season sweep
through fashionable parlors. French
dresses have the train filled in with
mass OF trllled and fluted musline which
holds them out almost as we'll as posi-
tive hoop, and to this support for the
train will crinoline probably be confined
tor the present. Diagonal fastenings will
continue in vogue, both for basques and
for polonaises. For the last, and for the
princesse dress, the most satisfactory
fastening is straight to the waist, then an
abrupt slope to the left until some twelve
or fifteen inches below the waist line the
row of buttons is finished by bcw-a
fashion popular last season, and which
will be this. Large collars, square in
shape, and giving the effect of yoke,
are seen on recently imported suits, and
high authorities predict that they will be
"a much copied as the Carrick color has
been. Shawl. shaped oversklrts, laiG I'M

perry, are much worn. On som4Ass
dresses this scarf drapecy is We w..

foot Of the dress. One very lsome
dinner dress of brocade and s}, II alter
nate cores of each, has platon of the bro
cade down the front, two plaitings of silk
around the foot, each inches deep, and
above them scarf formed of three bands,
two of silk, with brocade in the centre,
finished with fringe on the lower edge
and caught at the sides into festcons BY
loops of folded silk lying on the sweep
