eral terms what Is worn; In fact the task
is almost as 6iscoursgirg as attempting
to grasp st the cir which is everywhere

no other rule but the Yule Of misruie. The
left front Of q corsage Is never the same
as its companion en- the right; the same
is true Of skirts, and the sleeves are not
like the rest OF the corsage. The redin-
cote, which has succeeded the polansise,

astonishing variety in feminine dress Is
owing. The delicious combinations which
emsnste from them copied by others, some
times become grotesque. To the wearer is
left the details Of cosiumlng ;she is at per-
feet liberty TO bring out her best points
by any style she may select. Two things
only are essential that her make up does
no violence to art, and that 1t is becom-
ing.
