! Straight skirts, gathered waists and

as fancy as one desires, and where it is

straight breadths to the belt there is op-

some are shirrsd TO q greater or less

! LengthWise tucks down the front are

| These points may be plated half yard

and the same distance apart, thus Teduc-
/ ing it TO a width that will fit easily over

! the foundation skirt should have small
! pad in the back and "a short steel about
/ twelve inches below it, as a person with

back, and the tucks accentuate the
! effect.
AS to the matter of trimming there is
! nothing more suitable than feather
! stitching, which is now a necessary ac-
complishmeut OF young women, is easy
! to do and very effective. 4 very pretty
| dress was recently made by young lady
who was very pTideful when she said:
81 did it all myself. - It was of gray
cashmere, the skirt tucked and trimmed
with rows of yining done in silk of
darker shade; the tucked blouse and
broad sash finished to the depth of
quarter Of q yard, each end in the same
way. 1t was lovely and the girls went
wild over if. White cashmere would be
pretty made in the same way, the vining
done IN orange and blue silk, or in any
two contrasting cOlors that are becom-
ing.
The simplest and one Of the prettiest
fun waists has one seam down the mid
die Of the back and one under each arm,
the shoulders without q seam, which
causes the fronts 10 be on the bias. Lace
may be jabotted around the neck and
down the trout, and with Il pretty full
sleeve with deep cuff the effect is genera
ally becoming.
For some reason not altogether clear,
American women are growing dOwager
like 1t is now rare to meet woman
over forty whose life has been a sail on
summer seas, who does not mourn over
an increased avOirdUpos that may re-
mind 81 Raphael MadOnuas, but has
no hint of Venus, as Greek artists de-
fined her. perfect proportions. Owing
TO this, modistes find it weari-
some work TO design costumes that
are becoming to woman OF
forty three bust, and more difficult to
convince the heavy subject that change
OF style would be more becoming. A
stout woman starts at the thought of 4
full sleeve, fully convinced that Jumps OF
fat should be held in by the tight coat,
which only serves to render the size more
apparent Women who are close OBJ
servers must have noticed that as q stout
woman approaches fifty the flesh falls
away from the, shoulder, eand the arms
seem to be set in somewhat as was those
OF the doll ''dear 10 my childhood. -
Now there is nothing relieves this as
much as g sleeve madhssclose fitting from
the elbow down. The upper part set on
the close foundation full enough to allow
Of three large plaits across ssthese plaits
tackled upward on the SHOULDER, forming
q graceful fuIlness where the fiat effect
appears.
My lady dowager, do not forget there
are full sleeves aud full sleeves, aud you
need not be afraid Of the one described.
1t is hardly necessary to say that all
waist trimming should taper from
shoulder to waist point and be length
wise, and that the same effects should be
maintained III skirt draperies.
