EDITOR lNTELLGGENCER:- The grow
ing prevalence of tucking as an orma-
mentation is very noticeable. Groups
of line tucks may alternate with wide
or successive fine tucks may almost tire
the eyesight by long drawn out con-
tinnance. Plain China silk or null are
especially adapted to this finish and all
imported dress OF the first named ma
terial is tucked within foot OF the
waist which shows a tucked woke and
sleeves. For morning wear simple
white dresses are OF linen, nainsook or
line cambria and although sometimes
worn with sashes, yet it is easy to see
that sashes have had their best day
and unless in such handsome style that
they cannot ue relegsted to secondary
position, are not liked 40 well as belts
fastened by buckles. Some few tailor
made dresses of white linen have ap.
peared aud also princess costumes of
white duck which recall the material
used for gentlemen's. White tailor
suits are sometimes worn over a shirt
front with masculine tie or chemisette e
of shirred null.
INDEPENDENT WAISTS
though not especially noticeable al
this stylish resort have yet 10 some ex
tent forced their way and deserve men,
ton because OF remarkable utility and
comfort. The greater number are in
blouse or shirt shape with tucks down
the back and front and are made of soft
silk, lawn, muslin or linen in patterns
too varied tor mention, the majority
however showing stripes that are the
safer choice for plump figures while a
becoming abandon 10 impaired to THU
persons by thin silk waists showing
large circular spots in contrasting
colors. In some waists, the fnllness il
drawn In to the centre of the back and
| front but others show the fullness dis
tributed evenly across and gathered II
at the shoulders and belt. Some STYLES
display the gathers drawn in closely q,
the back and front and spreading ou
in fan shape towards the shoulders anC
this Is very popular. Close fitting
bssques Of material quite different from
the skirt have not lost favor and in al
outtlt for this place recently prepared
by Lord Il TAYLOR, there were thre,
very handsome independent waists, ON,
of yellow satin trimmed with blacl
lace, one of black lace aud a third O
heliOtrOpe silk trimmed with passepen
