That ladies' too broad by many inches
should adopt costumes which cause them to
look broader by as many more, Is ono Of the
most lsmentable facts Of the day. Tho at.
tempt to give son an idea Of the results pro.
dueed, would bo TO describe that which Is
indosoeibahle and therefore IL is left TO your
imagination. Now to alonder form, there
is nothing more becoming than the panier
style Of dress. but that sooms hardly a reason
why ID should be chosen by uoine matrons
already weighted down by the consequences
of advancing years. II can only he account
ed for on the ground Of that idea OF selfsaeri-
flee which IS prominent in the female mind =
that devotion TO duty which is 30 beautiful =
trait Doubtless that woman's husband likes
her to be in the fashion and to please him ahe
makes very earricature of herself Yet il
we would only think about IT, We would find
that there is always some means of avoiding
duty and going yet deeper into the matter
we should discover that there is generally \
loop hole somewhere, il NO but have the wit
to iiud it Aud such is the fact, for just here
we have the Direetoiro style of dress which
is straight and close fitting at tho sides al.
though bouiIant at the back.
DRESSING TIIE HAIR.
There never was such liberty in dressing
the hair. You may wear IL in any way you
please and yet 30 fashionable High, low,
medium. ornate or simple, just as you fancy
for tho moment may dictate. hope how.
ever that these lines will not meet the eye Of
any individual who wears either the French
twist or long eurls. for such individual would
seem TO be irrcclaimablo and utterly past
hope in so far as fashion Is concerned. Short
curls on the other hand are very stylish aud
mix in prcttily almost anywhere. And do
let me entreat YOU farthermore my good
sisters. TO vary the mode Of arranging your
hair. DO not always have II either high, low
or any other way. Let il be sometimes one
thing, sometimes another. We don't want
always to SEQ tho same expression on your
faces, and there is nothing more tiresoms
than tho hair always disposed in al nnvary-
ing contoirc. II an ornament be desired,
choose some one or more Of those faneiful
devices in tortoise shell. silver or gilt which
are at present so fashionable that flowers arc
quite driven out
cluLpBES's OUTFITS.
