trimming cuts the velvet IN diagonal
line from waist to hem. Yet another
somewhat resembles the faint Lnauve pink
of dollhouse lilac buds. Lilac anemIque
would not be a bad name for the tone
used. as we are getting 10 realistic terms
in everything, dress fabrics included.
z he gown IS that Mt, with cleaning

thing that attenuates the monO tOue being
a pair Of pale green velvet sleeves, pic

In by-gOne days a woman wearing dress
of one material and sleeves of another,
unless at fancy dress ball. would have
been looked upon as somewhat daft, or
that she had not possessed sufficient ma
terlaI to complete her gown. Nowadays,
the fashion Is not only to vary the ma
terlaIs but also cOlOrs, and really the
effect IS exceedingly becoming; cOnse-
qUsntly at such OriginalitIes we cannot
possibly grUmble. There seems to be
mad idea these days to dress to counter
act the natural effect of our physiques.
The tall, slender girl rejoices in being
able to wear sashes aud hip drapiug The
little, round one runs to perpendicular
lines. All very we'll when our character
istics are too prom Ounced-
here IS an evident movement against
the long waists which have OrtuFed some
of US, and made US look ont of ali pro
portion besides. A handsome pointed
neck dress is made with a sort of tight
fitting Spanish jacket, the edge of which
just reaches the Waist-iine at the back

the two points meet and fasten Just un-

to the edges of the jacket as they meet
the waist-ine, These ribbons tie loosely
in front. The sudden, ugly, and IN
natural concave from breagt-line to waist
in front is thus concealed.
Hair Is dressed most deliberately for
New York balls, but not all atop of the
head 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
luZuriant natural endOwments prevent
her from following a fashion need be
sorry. If you can't wear a triple jacket
and pleated yoke rejoice, and don't. If
your figure needs such assistance rejoice
that fashion permits 1t, and do.
We cannot all of US dress in a 1OW-neck
bolster case and look like Nine. Racamier.
And when you go to ball always have
some extra pins about you. You can't do
your waltzing comfortably if you have to
drag a yard OF SO of Nalenciennes stream
ing around after you. If you don't make
a habit of providing yourself with these
extra pins, you viii many times see mo-
ments of anguish when you would give
your soul for a pm 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
