ART IN DRAPIEG.
1t is difficult to say too much in praise of
the present style of draping For centuries
there has not been SO graceful, so artistic
| an arrangement of folds and plaitings. The
! first step toward this seems TO have been
! the use of goods as q whole instead of the
! patchwork We 50 recently submitted our
| selves TO. 1t is always ruinous to the effect
of goods to cut it into small pieces. To
really understand a dress pattern and draw
| out its good qualities you must have it in
its entirety. Then design your plaits. /. G.,
| either wide or narrow, IN panels, sash, or
revers, and arrange the rest OF the dress
either to harmonic or contrast, as may
best develop its individuality and express
the original idea. How to combine ma
terials of different texture so as to pro-
duce an artistic and really pleasing cos
tune, is a difficult study, but if perse-
vered in the result will be eminently graft
| flying. To predict just what will be the
| outcome of the present tendency sseems
presumptucus in the extreme, and we will
venture instead to hope that it will be a
perfect, moderniZed Greek form of dress,
| which will combine entire freedom with
real beauty. With the lengthwise panels,
now so much used, an unexpected demand
| has been made of the wearer-a graceful
carriage of the body. TO dress bashful

GUS The wearer, whether she be short or
tall. must affect, if she does not possess,
dignity and grace This principle also

dress, and still greater care in the choice OF
a pattern. Not only the figure and face OF
the person should be considered, but the
personal characteristics as well. How to

with this natural quality its counterpart.
