50 far from being rejected
favortes this season, are much admired
for their adaptability 10 new ideas Of
drapery. Those tina; are originally
in front are sometimes left
open at some distance above the hem,
and the depth carried up in deep folds,
OF pleats As high as the figure may re-
quire, makes an extremely handsome
effect. When a center-front is closed
and happens TO be shirred, the cxtrA
upon the hips is also shirred, and
carried higher. The models Of polo
naises are not changed by varieties Of
garniture or draping; ladies wear them
as they are, quite a. frequently As other
wise, and it must not be supposed that
any revolution in fashion has taken
place because q greater effect Of pulled
is suggested, for unless the
panier is becoming 10 the figure, 1t 10
by no means adopted. Overskirts are
nov sharing the general liking for
draperies with trimmed skirts
which always have the advantage as re-
CARDS convenience. The newest designs
are exceedingly dressy, and show quite
much elaboration Is the basque be-
to the costume. All designs
open more or less in front are
as curtain o~verskirts, and these
are admired because they admit Of an
panel being placed upon
the skirt beneath. This panel matches
the vest Of the basque, or where q jabot
of lace takes the place of the vest, the
same garniture fills up the open space
the skirt-front. Fashion still CON-
mends overskirts which are draped in
Of each other on the sides.
For instance, the right side will show
its depth taken Up By pleats laid in a
cluster, while the left side has simply
lines Of shirring uniting the sides and
back. A stylish design for
grenadine mixed with damas-
see silk has panels, similar .; both
sides, and the front Is made dressy with
widths Of grenadine carried across, in
festoon shape, and each trimmed with
lace and looped ribbons. The back is
and made longer than the front.
II there il q favorite mode of disposing
Of the extra length Of polonaises, e
skirts, etc., this season, it Ii by shirripg;
and this is carried into vest-fronts, and
even into sleeves, made Of grcnadine and
other diaphanOus fabrics. Unlined
for the street are not admired;
lengthwise-pleated and shirred designs,
not too full, and yet made with sufficient
width to protect the arm, are more pop
ular. Very many new dresses show
fichus made Of the dress material, hand
trimmed. These are cut in half
handkerchief shape, and laid in easy
folds around the neck; the ends are
carelessly looped below the bust, or they
are precisely held in place down the
front by three straps elaborstely trim
med, or else embroidered and sprin-
kled with jets. The ichu is particularly
employed for grenadines and soft sum-
mer silks, and fancy crepe-like mixtures
called rnummy-silks. Skirts are occu-
py ing more than their ordinary share
attention this spring. Trimmed
skirts prepared for the street are not
ovy r three yards in width, and the same
rule applies to house dresses. WAX
ing skirts, when plain, are made from
two to two and . half yards vide; the
kilt-plesded addition to the yoke OF
such q model affording al the room
that is required. vests separate from
the basque appear to be necessary this
season, and these are Of every imagin-
abe material.
