YES said Kate. Its Just because

Of self-control in leaving the table as did,

matter was correct"
The two sisters may be arguing to this
NH use on the subject, but it is certain that
they can never come to an understanding
Which OK the two was rights
A certain Paris ball gown, Just arrived,
says TIE New York Recorder, has a skirt
front draped in white Gegaline and white
net. 1t is dotted with white beads aud
studded with white butterflies. A flight of
butterflies crosses the skirt diagonally, and
also the bodice. Full-blown flowers in
shaded velvet cover the hem on the front
of the skirt.
The modish young woman is open to the
criticism of permitting her co 'tume to be all
waist. Not that her waist is large around,
but it is long-very long From a rear
view she appears to be all back. Her gown
Fl 5 her tightly across the shoulders. It
slopes down to the waist in long, slender
point, whence it is carried on down over the
hips TO the bottom OF the cat IN a narrow
way wholly unrivalled in previous
histories of dress. Everything possible is
done TO make this slenderness mere appar-
| ent. The corsets are snugly drawn outside
| of the underclothiug and over the petit
coats, aud the waist is put on directly over
the corset. This takes a Nap the effect Of
prominent hips No ba DIS, gathers or
bunchings are allowed around the waist.
Many of the women wear no petticoats at
all, letting rutfles, tackled inside
petticoats. Others less advanced wear
| divided skirts, perfectly glove-fitting
over the hips. And those women who are
not sufficiently emancipated from womanly
prejudice, to cast aside the womanlv petit
| coats, construct them upon different
scale. The fullness is all sewn upon woke
which extends down over the hips and fits
snugly above them. The corset is put on
| over Thu.
By these means and the articles of the
! modiste, the long, slender effect, hitherto
seen only in fashion plates, become possible
! for the everyday nineteenth century flesh
| and blood woman.
