There is an effort to revive the plain
round skirts with straight breadths,
but it is not likely that the change will
be popular one, as the gored skirt is
more graceful, and it will allow any
kind of trimmings.
A novelty IN new silks is a soft, pill

Guided during this and the coming sea-
son among the list of colors popular in
dress fabrics, bonnet trimmings, gloves
of both silk and kid, and in house
