for some time before its adoption. Thus,
bouflant styles have but just become pop
ular after having been predicted for
months Those having handsome dresses
in clinging styles by no means abandon
them, but new dresses are all made with
ample drapery. Some ladies who are in
clined to stoutness still prefer scant
breadths, but slillful dressmaker will

the too-rounded figure will apparently
owe its size to that alone.
STREET DRESSES
Paris journals say that black is the
uniform for the street. That may be
true in Paris, but not here, for street
dresses display more snowy colors and
combinations now than for some time
previous. Not only are the colors
snowy, but the materials themselves are
remarkably unique in design. An en-
tire dress of one material or color is sell
dom SEEN Satin is still largely used as
a garniture-plain, striped and polka
dotted. These striped and dotted satins
are usually only employed as trimmings,
and, therefore, are made in cheap grades
with linen backs, few people being will
ing to spend much on a mere fancy OF
the hour. A very pretty fashion is that
of having the parasol match the satin
with which the dress is trimmed.
The usual width for walking skirt is
two and one-half yards. Many skirts are
finished on the bottom with hem, and
are left entirely untrimmed. The effect
is pretter in striped materials than in
plain. The vest, if there is one, and the
overskirt trimmings should correspond.
1t has been whispered that overdresses
venturous few have dared to appear with
out them. A walking dress of black
cashmere is made with a single skirt
which was tlounced nearly to the waist
in front and left to fall perfectly plain
from the belt in the back. The waist is
plain, without basques, and a wide belt
is worn with it. The sleeves are tight
and but sparingly trimmed. This cos
tune is simple rather than beautiful.
The polonaise is rs popular as ever, but
is altered to suit the present style of
draping. The fronts are no longer left
long and plain, but are drawn up by high
punching on the hips in what is called
