The autunan bodice is a thing of variety
and splendOr. Foremost in the ranks of
novelty is the English corselet waist. 1t
is aimed to make this ~conceit, the corselet
portion buttons or hooks over q loose
blouse. as quaint and ~rich-looking as pos
sible. The endeavor succeeds SO well In
some instances that it would seem as
though the ~corselet was copied from some
old portrait painted in the medic val
times. The idea IL APPLY illustrated in a
freshly imported tea gown. The corselet
buckles with a rich antique silver clasp
over a blouse of pale, sea foam green chif-
fon, a in itself made of hunters green
velvet, wrought curisusly with silver
threads and encrusted with cut stones,
simulated emeralds. pearls and just suffi-
Gent rubies to lend brilliant color.
TIE coat bodice is still in favor, also the
youthful round waist, while the princess
is chosen for many dresses meant to be
exceptionally elegant. Many of the
striped and novelty woods in rich autumn
colors are made princess, either quite
plain. with ronts crossed ~diagonally, or
most elaborate, with let In side panels and
hip paniers, while in the bodice proper
no seams show except those beneath the
arms. Many of the fancy theatre waist 8
in silk and gauZe v the hip flounce,
the rest of the waist being quite full.
The corselet may be said to DO as popular
on full dresses as it has been all summer.
There have been summer waists which
were, in fact, only a corselet, the whole
portion above being a guimp of lace or
yoke of ~guipure.
All kinds of odd silk and velvet sleeves
are allowable with wool gowns. The
most common, however, is the leg o. NUT
ton Vests and foot borders are still toll
Grated. The corslet princess n the coat
bodices are two marked popular styles,
but at the same time there are many
other fashions for the bodice. Que has
just got accustomed to the coat, with its
seams many and all showing. when an
imported suit reveals the fact that new
whim is to drape this garment also, so
that, while still plainly a coat, no seams,
except those under the arm, are allowed
to show. This is the whirl of fashion, of
which philosophers and Statesmen have
dared complain, but which still goes ON
even more triumphantly than ever.
