coils.
Hoops are not worn, but bustles are
very large, and it is said they will be
larger.
Many of the gingham dresses for this
season are made with the washerwoman
overskirt.
A favorite effect in Jerseys is that pro

with gold.
The exaggerated tournure seen on the
latest French importations is anything
but pretty.
Dressmakers are putting pad bustles
inside of the street and house dresses
just below the belt.

again. Fine dark cloths are pretty orpa,

spots of black or brown chenille, makes
up into charming costumes.
The accordion skirts are already plated
when bought, and the dressmakers are
lining them with orinoline.
The new wooden jerseys are made with
many seams and all have darts. Those
without darts are not salable.

girls from six to twelve years of age
The rage for blonde hair is long since
dead, and to be afflicted with locks
lighter than auburn is almost calamity.

worn with skirts of India silks or foulard.

of any becoming color of sheer linen or
gauze, cut in the proper shape, with a
little rolled collar of velvet, pockets and
cuffs to match.
The latest Partisan costumes have
skirts of glace fageolet, upon which the
sheer tunic is draped. A dress of this
