that small reed is being introduced into
skirts, giving a hint of the return OF
hoops, writer's are saying that the wheels
NJ fashion always roll forward. 1t may
he as is prophesied, that present styles
are a survival, and not a resurrection
Int the testimony that fashions tickle
changes gives is no: favorable to this
oolnion. The most conclusive evidence
that radical changes in style are not TO
take place is TO be found IN the fact
that the present drift Is toward natural
ness, and styles IN womau's dress are
bsug adapted to freedom and action
which new conditions in woman g life
have made imperative. From the INNER
most garment to the little wrap, absolute
fitting is essential, and garments are
yeriably sheaths that in no way impede
movement or exhaust strength, Under
garments do not hamper, neither are
they designed. as once seemed
the purpose, to absorb mate
rial and display labor. Each LAYER of the
meath is fitted smoothly with no super
fuous material to destroy natural grace
and outline. This work has been done
gradually and with an idea of harmony
Of parts into an artistic whole, that GER
tainy gives reason to hope that no i'm
mediate changes are to be feared. The
marked transformation in women's dress
has led TO the establishment of large
factories for the manufacture of special
lies, and now that business and mercan-
tile interests are allied with prevailing
styles there is a reasonable prospect that |
olly slight notifications will be likely to |
occur for some time to come.
There seems thus far no divesrlou |
from desire for the mannish in cos
tune. Eminently proper is it now for
the society young man to present a lady |
friend with a set of dainty four-in- hand |
ties, hammered gold studs and d moon

into the neck and falls in soft folds
down TO the waist line.
Whether the Gordon sash Is included |
IN things strictly masculine or not, it is
EOrn alike by men and women, and |
