"What do you suppose the cltlzeheSS OF
1875 would have SAD u those costumes!
The citizeneSs was polit .cally minded. All
her tastes in dress were masculine You
might have thought her an Amazon IN her
helmet-shaped hat, her great coat and cane,
with a watch pinned on each side and a
bunch of seals rafting with every step:
The tailor-made girl never lived who could
90 to sucl extremes. The citlzeneSS had
her fashions la BuStiie and did up her
hair q la Charlotte COrdGy. When she
deigned to own herself by her dress a
woman, her gown was trailing rome OF
some very somber hue 1t had snort

calling the days of the ancient regime
When she relaxed her severity little as
the Terror was forgotten and reaction set

Mime. Tallien was received with a frenzy OF
admiration when she appeared at the tras-
cati balls with her feet bare and sandaled,
rings on her toes and two circlets of gold
worn as carriers, showing through her
transparent gown. Those were the days
when a fashion of wearing no chemlse
lasted for a week or two, and when great
ladies Wed with one another whose attire
should weigh least, many getting the en-
tire costume down to a matter of
few ounces, all gauze. These were
days when women died of con-
sumption by hundreds because their
diaphanous draperies open at the side from
the waist to the lower edge of the tunic did
not protect them from the weather, and

Suppose l give you point or two by
which you can pick out the line here and
the suggestion there which we have bOr-
rowed from the Directory. We won't find
anything more than the line or the sugges-
ton fused in the dress of 1889, can assure
you. The vests, the plastrons, the points,
the fiat revers of this winter are a hundred
years old and very effective they are in
composing gowns to diminish the apparent
size of stout women. There are real Direc-
tory buttons and pockets and patterns in
braiding, and little enough else as any stu
dent Of fashion can tell you.

THE Crack gown makes one laugh. there
is so little OF the classic about it. That IS
really Directory revival, for there was
what they called On anticonania then as
n1w. Every woman wished to dress in the
antique style and went about it rather more
in earnest than we do. That was Greek
gown which Eva Ingersoll, wore to-day. It
was a pale blue crepe draped over white.
The bodice was cut in fashion entirely
French and modern, gathered into belt
at the waist, but returning TO its original
in the medallion clasp which fastened it on
the shoulder. 1t was cut out slightly in the
neck. and the arms were bare. The dra-
perry was in long, statuesque folds and the

And now for your first love, the En-
pire gown. Do you suppose anybody wears
or could wear it! A short white silk gown
that was the material under Napoleon.
When | say short | mean short, mind you,
showing white satin slippers and several
inches of stocking. The bodice was made
in sack fashion, with the waist under the
arms and the bosom pushed close up to the
chin. This was not at all graceful, and
with the decolete cut of the top far more
indecent than any evening gown since
seen. The bodice was fastened on the shout
ders by ribbons Of many colors and edged
with Valenciennes at the neck. Wide pink
satin ribbons were draDed about the skirt
in spiral stripes and a garland of artificial
flowers edged it at the bottom. There were
more artificial flowers then just invented,
in the hair; pearls at the throat and long
gloves on the bare arms.
Compare this with the alleged Empire
gown that pretty little actress Kitty Cheat
ham, danced in after the play the other
evening White silk, long enough to hide
her dancing shoes Waist in the trim
French point, with just the faintest hint
possible OF one of Josephine's bodices given
by tue white silk sash twisted in loose folds,
More white silk hung about the drapings,
with suggestion Of the original ribbon
spiral fastening bouquets Of roses, well up
on the skirt instead of at the bottom. Roses
at the breast and in the hair.
We've got the embroidered skirt hens,
the fiat skirt trimmings. the double sashes,
the folded bodices, the sleeves full on the
shoulder and a dozen other small things
which remind one of Napoleon's dead beau
ties, but we are far enough from adopting
the Empire fashions except in modified de-
tails. We've taken more jewelry fashion
from the Directory and the Empire than
STYLES for gowns. There are beautiful paste
buckles at all the jewellers this winter and
you must certainly provide yourself with a
belt clasp and some ornaments for slippers,
