count OF the panler drapery OF the over
skirt, which must be very near the belt.
Basques are also much worn with belts
that may pass all around, or else be con-
fined merely to the front. The boufant
scarf-like panier draping is usually set
on the upper part OF the lower
skirt, but may be attached to the
basque, beginning at the end OF
the second dart, and forming three
or four folds on the hips, or else
the basque may be cut longerand draped
in folds. Separate vests are now not 50
much used as those sewed in with the
basque, and seen only at top and bottom.
Sashes are suddenly revived in rich
brocaded ribbon, satin and watered rib
bon. Worth drapes a brocaded sash per-
manently almost straight around the
hips, and fastens it by very large gilt
buckle on the left side. A brown bro
caded sash is very handsome on the tan
and cream-c -colored wool costumes. Some
times wide black watered ribbon is passed
around the waist as belt, and hangs
down the front with one very long, fiat
loop and two longer ends; this is on black
silk costumes With other black dresses
cav Vatican and Roman sashes are worn
in the careless Oriental style, loose about
the hips, and with large knot and long
ends hanging down on one side.
BUNTING SUITS.
Suits of bunting trimmed with polka
dotted satin of contrasting color are
greatly in favor with young ladies and
misses. They are made with basque and
overskirt usually and pleated kilt. The
oyerskirt has pleatings down the front
and sides, if the skirt is not kilt, and Is
trimmed with box-pleated tiounce that
shows the satin between each pleat. Blue
or brown satin with polka dots is most
used on tan, white and cream-colored
buntings; the navy blue bunting has lost
favor. There are neat suits of American
bunting with satin trimmings for $50.
Others of white bunting have the gay
handkerchief plaids for trimming, es-
specially in red and yellow, and bows of
old gold and cardinal satin ribbon. The
more expensive French buntings have a
kilt skirt and a boutant apron overskirt
that is caught up very high on the sides
by lengthwlse shirring. Others have the
apron of the bunting made like a scarf,
with the selvedge across the bottom
merely turned up and hemmed by blind
stitches. Machine stitching is rather
heavy for this light wool goods. Walercd
silk, shirred dalnasse silk for bosom dra-
perry, belts and sashes and much polka
dotted satin are used for trimming these
soft, graceful fabrics.

because they are fitted precisely as a dress
waist is fitted. Whalebones are also put
in slanting instead of straight, to keep
them from breaking on the hips. A
skirt-supporter is attached to the back al
the waist line, and for stout ladies al
abdominal band is added, which is sale
