u py-gone days a woman wearing n dress
or one material and sleeves of anothar
unless at q fancy dress ball, would have
neen looked upon as somewhat daft. mr.
mat she had not possessed sufficient ma

me Iasnlon is not only to vary the ma,
terlais but also c%olors, and really the
enect IS exceedingly becoming; conse-
gueh1iy' al such orlginalities we cannot
possibly giumble. There seems to he .
mad idea these days to dress to counter"
act the natural effect of our ph%ysioues.
Inc toll, slender girl r%ejoices in being

little, round one I'll to perpendicular
ilnes. All very we'll when our character.
lstlcs are too pronounced.
There is an evident movement against
the long waists which have tortured some
OF us, and made us look ont of all pro-
portion besides. A handsome pointed
neck dress is made with q sort of tight
hitting Spanish jacket, the edge of which
Just reaches the waist-line at the back
n rounds up from under the arms till
der the breast-line. The triangular space
left in front is filled with loosely falling
lace or not, confined by ribbons fastened
to the edges of the jacket as they meet
the waist-line. These ribbons tie loosely
In front. The sudden, ugly, and n
natural concave from breast-line to waist
In front is thus concealed.
Hair IS dressed most elaborately for
New York balls, out not all atop of the
mead as formerly. See my pictures for
particulars. Hair must look as if it stays
SO without hair pins. The girls who have
very little hair seem to be the ones in
luck Just now. All the same, if YOU have
magnificent heavy locks you can afford to
laugh and stick to your Greek coil at the
back of your head. No woman whose
luxuriant natural endowments prevent
her from following a fashion need be
sorry. II you can't wear a triple jacket
and a pleated yoke rejoice, and don't. If
your figure needs such assistance rejoice
that fashion permits it, and do.
We cannot all of us dress in a low-neck
bolster case and look like Nine. Recamier.
And when you go to a ball always have
som extra pins about you. You can't do
your waltzing comfortably if you have to
drag q yard or so of Valenciennes stream
ing around after YOU. If you don't make
a habit of providing yourself with these
extra pins, you will many times see mo-
ments of anguish when you would give
Your soul for a pin and think you got it
cheap. You step into the front of your
dress and pull the drapery down, to be
stepped on again every time you move.
An awkward man places his foot on your
