| A new way of decorating screens is to

| at the opening of the Paris Salon was

The fancy for draping the fullness of
overskirts very high is bringing round
waists into prominence again, as the tails

some of the newest French dresses made
for ladies who have very long waists dis
pence with basques entirely, and have
merely broad belt all around.
