Spring Travelling Dresses.

For travelling dresses for spring the
scrges are being made up with new
over-dress that opens over waistcOat.
and has long straight skirt that nearly
covers the lower skirt. The waistcoat
is II separate garment and the waist OF
the over-dress has revers pointed like
bretelles, that are buttoned in front to
show the vest, which is trimmed with
rows of braid. or may be plainly but.
toned. The skirt Of the OverdreSs falls
open below the waist, and is perfectly
plain on the sides, where it is joined to
the body by Il seam across the hips, in
which square pocket flaps are set in a
fashion in favor three or four years
since. The back is very full. but is not
draped, and It's fullness is held in square
plaits tha5 are attached to the bodice
low on tine tOslrnure. These so-called
Square plaits resemble what is known
rs galtging. making alternate long and
shOrt st tcheS. then drawing the spaces
between the long stitches closely to-
gether. leaving a fold or plat to stand
out in relief sJuarely against the waist,
and adding to the bouffant effect. Rows
of braid OF else folds of the serge trim
the front of the lower skirt where it is
visible. and there is Il scant plating
around the foot. The lower edge of the
o.er-dress is simply bound with braid.
The vest and indeed most basques OF
travelling suits are made with 4 notched
collar like that of mans morning
coat. and with this will be worn high
linen collar and Il flat pigue scarf pre-
cisely like those worn by gentlemen.
White scarfs are chosen in preference
TO colored ones, and small scarf-pin is
worn by Way of ornament. When the
front is closed to the throat, the neck
has straight high collar band very
much wider than any worn hitherto,
and this is lined with stiff buckram to
keep it in good shape. This collar is
used alike for those with a short or
long neck. as it may be set below the
curve of the neck if properly cut.-Rar-
