There is much variety, as usual, In the
make of the petticoats. but one rule re-
mains the same-they should be hooked
around the hips on to the corset, or nave
a deep-shaped waist-band so as not to
thicken the waist. For out of doors the
pretty shot silk petticoats, with pfnked-
out hounces, ara great favorites. The
color ought to match the dress under
Which it Is worn. Under tea gowns long
Detticoats of line white cambria or cream
silk, heavily trimmed either with tine
embroidery or lace round the founces,
insertion let in between them at in
tervals, are much in vogue Nothing is
prettier than vaienciennes lace for these.

for the evening are also made of fine
white cambria, silk not being used in full
evening dress. A great Paris milliner
often puts long separate train under the

train OF the dress Ia three places to pre-
vent its getting separated from the dress.
The petticOat should be flounced all M

Indian silk gowns. This is simply dread
