would turn away from counter

Their Ambition Now to Be Inde-

NE of the most strik-

century now drawing
to a close, to those

clearly the last thirty
years, is the changed
attitude of the fairer
sex toward the world

the ambition Of every
young woman was to
be married. Marriage
was success in life,
spinsterhood was q
failure. Nothing but

elaborate and dreSSy enough for a
queens drawing-room or the grand row
at the opera, and infinitely more becom-
ing, as we'll as comfortable, than the
dresses at either place.
The new full waists and high sleeves
have wrought revolution in corset
covers. replacing by exquIsitely fash
Toned and uniquely ernamented little
bodices the old plan, tightly-buttoned
waist which the close-sleeved, tight
waist has required of late. One of these
corset waists of pale pink surah has a
tucker of old Valenciennes lace about
the neck, and is fashioned after the
empress waist, its fuIIness confined
just below the bust by fine tucking,
held in place with rows of feather Stitch
ing. A pretty fancy is to fashion every
neglige garment with some sort of Gre
clan. surplice, or empire effect, leaving
the throat bare and finishing the neck
with broad ruff1es turned back toward
the shoulders, cut in deep Vandyke, and
bordered with lace or needle-work.
Corsets are fashioned from the new
brocades, with elaborate decorations of
baby ribbons threaded through lace
meshes. and must match the gown in
tint as carefully as do the slippers and
gloves. The latest fancy for an even
ing corset is sort of skeleton affair
made of Satin-covered bones. with con-
meeting tissue of silk elastic. which
yields so readily to every movement of
the body that one can scarcely detect
the presence of the corset at all. An
other popular evening corset is of white
undressed kid, with very few and very
light bones, which also adapts itself so
graciously to its wearer's willowy grace
that it is fitting adjunct to the esthetic
maiden'S gown.
1t is beginning to be just the least bit
popular with women of artistic taste in
dress to dispense with corsets if their
figure is trim and slender enough to
permit, because of the additional grace
they may lend to the flowing lines of
the picturesque short-waisted dress of
the present passing fancy by the supple
yielding curves of their own pretty
forms.
There is latent element of naughty
witchery in a pretty girls makeup
which finds welcome expression in these
latter-day wickedly suggestive but de-
mure little duds, so very like those worn
in the realm of tinsel and tarletan, and
many glorious frolic they have, with
their petticoatS tossed aside. posing and
pirouetting in costumes which on the
stage would startle front-row dudes out
of their apathetic, blase Indifference. -
