across the pleating, or, if preferred, 1t
begins at the side form, or else at the
under-arm seams. Deep collars, col
larettes, and wide cuffs accompany such
a basque.
A basque intended for the street has a
vest-front, a jacket-front overhanging,
and the back is cut like a gentleman s
coat, the outline, however, varying by
being made comparatively short under
the arms, then deepening sharply to
the square-cut outline of the centers.
Ladies make the back of such a basque
more dressy by adding a pointed plas-
Implicated piece and snowy bow of
silk or ribbon, finishing this plastron
halfway below the waist and the edge
of the garment. Basques for the house
are being made quite short in front, and
the back is dressy, with fan-pleating
between the side and center seams, or
with revers faced with gay silk and
trimmed around the edges. Fichus of
lace, or made of folds of crepe de chine
or of silk to match the dress, accom-
pany basques this season, and deep col
lars bordered with lace, with cuffs to
match, are fastened upon many of the
new dresses. These, and the fichus,
which are merely long slender pieces
folded in a point at the back, and rich
ly trimmed, are provided to wear with
costume alternately, thus giving
freshness and variety.
Some of the handsomest summer
dresses of embroidered muslin have
skeleton basques or long, slender
sacques, instead of closed-lined waists.
Getaway jackets with vests are seen
with expensive seaside dresses of cam
eps-hair and silk, and the same design
serves for an expensive percale, which
is trimmed with dotted cambria ruffling
or ordinary Torchon lace. Yoke and
pleated waists are, if possible, more in
demand than ever, and for breakfast
toilets have almost a monopoly
