Another revival Of old styles adapted to
latter day requirements is seen in the two
very pretty costumes for young ladies.
They are of cashmere and drap d'Alma re
spectively, and the distinguishing feature
is the basque of one and redingote of the
other. The pretty ruff in the front gives
grace and softness to what would other
wise look hard and be trying to any aged
woman. The deep lapels to the coat
waists ere quaint and pleasing. The
shape Of the Directoire jackets and redin-
gotes presupposes that bustles are really
IN their last days. though some Of the
dresses are still draped very full and high
in the back.
Worth is evidently repenting Of his
various sins in the way Of horrors in de-
signs for waists of gowns during the
last year or so, and he has just evolved
the very handsome basque for a costume
for one Of our most fashionable
ladies, and it has already been
ordered in many other materials for others.
The model is of the deepest ultramarine
blue velvet, with a bordering Of cream
colored felt embroidered and braided with
silver and pale blue silk. One lady is
having it copied in dark brown plush with
band of chamois skin embroidered in
