We advise all dressmakers, either skilled
in the art or amSteurs, never TO cut q wal2t
lining lengthTise OF the goods, which ID to
say, that the siiesis should be untolded and
the PATTERN laid on 30 that the neck and
bottom portions of the basque will be on
the eelvedge. Cut in this way, the waist
will keep in shape perfectly for the reason
that silesia will not give at al long'hwise
Wills even the best quality will stretch
somewha across the width.
Modern fashion is anything but exclu
siye; it admits Of every style and shape,
and there is scarcely any model which can
be said to be thoroughly ont OF fashion,
and which is not susceptible Of being nr-
ranged and modified 30 az suit the taste
the day. Every princess dress, which for
the last few yeara had scarcely been worn
at al except in mourning, are in favor
again. provided they are associated with
some fancy polonaise, or else covered with
lace or eauze; they are often worn with a
polonaise Of some light fabric without
sleeves, and widely open over the bodice
and skirt Of tho dress, or else fasten ct the
and waist only by ornamental clasps Of
metal or p~assementerie.

ture, q aqquelles Of the lace forms thGt
portion of the corsage which passes Tor a
