Pleasing Pictures - Extremists y
Hair UDressinS-NOtes.

Tnpenuitv nlavs part, even regarding the
simple dress with full, undrapcd sklrt, ana
variety is brought to bear in the way OF gauging,
shirrng and tucking, the two latter especially,
being added All bbifi3n Tucks are occasionally
run down all around to the hips with corset
effect bu, as this is the case only when the
wearer is stout small PAD ana Sieels IS added
10 fill the hollow at the back. Sashes were
never of such importance, ana chle1ly OF soil
surah with irinred edges, give continual and
pretty changes To the same or different irocks.
Belts of course are better liked by young ladies
OF full figure or for these, the jersey outlined
waist with sash wound about the join to the
skirt, is becoming As marked consequence
OF present freedom, ii may be noted farther that
taste III combining materials anu delt adapta-
tons Of color are OF mach more importance than
expensive material When one or two set forms
prevailed pre-cminpnCG could be reached only
by superior cxpense in fabric. Now that has
changed, and though handsome goods must
always have a certain consequence, yet tor the
most part they are displaced except perhaps, in
case Of matronsl il favor Of pleasing pictures.
Here one OF the preI;iest lately seen, was OF
wool in the aintcst shade Of green. 1t was III i0c
with full, straight skir, gaugcd about three
inches full bodice !auged around the neck
full sleeves, gaucc1 top and bottom sarah sash
OF darker green
EXTREMISTS
here and there, look As if hey were old pictures
re- animated from the canvass. Waists we'll UP
to the shoulders tall sleeves, plain uudrapcd
skirts bodccs low about The throat and broad
collars reaching nearly 10 the shoulders, fulfill
startling resemblance and point the back ward
way that Fashion travels. THIS for heavy fabric,
while now and then, an occasional baby bodice
and sleeves gives prediction of a time wht all
may adopt cut IN dress that apparently had
been relocated to 0bscurily.
EMPIRE COIFUREs
for EVENING are another indication of re.ani
mated Oldness and in unison come the classic
flllets OF gold or silver, either plain more or
less bcjeWeled They surround the hair drawn
high on the head, waved below al the back and
finished with one or two stray curls, while the
top of the head is a mass of little curls turning
every way. A garland Of flowers may complete
the picture. For day wear, liberty and sim
plicty prevails and the same may really be as
serted OF evening hair dressing, since the style
just mentioned is too elaborate for many per
sons With hats the Catogan braid falling low
on the neck and confined by ribbon or long
pin, is extremely POPULAR even to the extent of
having one at hand which is put on and taken
off with the head covering.
NOTES
Oxford ties in dressed or undresscd tan black
or a new shade between russell and TAM are the
leading style in shoes, and trimmed with large
steel buckles they are worn even AT hops with
not very dressy costumes, although for full dress
