STRIPES.
Fabrics Which Are Rapidly Superseding
Plaids in Public Favor.

Fabrics Which Are Rapidly Superseding
Plaids in Public Favor.
Stripes Eel to be rapidly suppressed
ing plalds in public favor. The rule is
to use them for the skirt, an invariable
rule when the stripe is broad, and the
plain material for bodice and drapery.
Vest, collar and cuffs of the stripe
trim the bodice, which may be either a
basque or a polona;se, as is preferred.
On tho other hand, there is, as mer-
chants say, quite a feeling for bod'ces
made of narrow stripes or stripes of
medium width, and some very effective
costumes of fine wool, trimmed with
velvet ribbon, have the basques striped
with the velvet put on in perpendicular
lines, with the width of the velvet or a
fraction less between. Thus used, the
stripe has a tendency to make the year.
er look slender, but much care is nee
essary in making. as, unless the Ines
are perfectly straig hI and the stripes
well-matched, a twisted effect is pro-
duced, which, on a bad figure, almost
amounts to deformity. and detracts
greatly from the beauty of q good
one.
The old-fashioned, long. round over
skirt draped by means of tapes run in
castings, forming a long, much
wrinkled apron front, and full. pulled
back secured by tapes tightly tied,
comes back with a fresh lease of favor.
1t nearly covers the skirt over which it
is worn. and, in this shape, has re-
celved the approval of Worth and con-
freres, who use it for the new canvas
grenadines over skirts of Bengaline
faille or velvet.
The passion for lace has given rise
to all manner of lacey materials, and
among these canvas grenadines take
high rank. Many of them are embroid-
cred in point russo stitches, some in
borders, others all over, but the
greater number are plain in open mesh
