New YoRK, November 1.-THE faults
in dress and the absence of that freedom
and diversity necessary TO the development
and cultivation of taste seem to arise prin'
cipally from the acceptance by women OF
incompetent authorities and the failure to
apply 10 dress the sense and intelligence

than in others, because the followers OF

Forms heretofore had nothing to do with

and many will recall the tall, graceful

should be understood from the beginning
that all colors used in art costumes are soft

so that they adapt themselves readily one

dress was made in Tussore silk, in its well
known delicate ecru or stone-colored TINT;
and the embroidery in flame color, which
has a lambert quality, not in the least like
the brick red, which is often called by its
