There was one of pink gauze, lightly
embroidered with silk dots The skirt

bordered at the foot with two broad
bands Of roses, separated by fine

little below, but curving up on each
side, finally touched the upper one on
the shoulder, SO that the plating could
fall loosely. Then over the roses, start
ing at the top band and running down
to the waist, were two full rolls of
plain chiffon, which widened as they
fell, and eventually disappeared under
the arms, melting into the fullness of
the waist itself This little corselet
was the chief charm of the dress, and
added the youthful appearance neces-
sary, for a very young girl was to wear
it.

that has studied the art of dressing
well knows that line in this impor-
tant garment will often make or mar a
costume. An ungraceful fold will eff
fectually spoil the whole; therefore
watch your skirts, be sure they ct, be
sure they hang well, and above all be
sure their length is uniform. So many
women wear gowns of uneven length,
and nothing is more positively displeas-
ing to the artistic eye than jerk here
or a sudden drop there, where all
should be harmonious, graceful slope.
Even in these days of outre and start
ling com bination it is possible to be
artistic. Woman is allowed more
freedom in this regard than man, it
would seem, for she may depart consid-
erably from the laws laid down by the
great modistes and still not incur their
diSapproval. She may select what she
will from the many prevailing fashions
and combine them to suit herself in a
quleter, less Obtrusive way, and the re-
suit Will be at once original and pleas
ing. Strange TO say, immediately a
thing goes out of style it becomes dis
tasteful to US, and we iustinctively turn
away from 1t, but no sooner does a new
mode appear than we give it all our ad-
mIration, affection ana regard, no mat
ter how scornfully we may have repudi-
ated it q few years ago, when its glory
faded before that Of the new star which
arose. For a striking illustration of
this truth, turn to the present unique
and wonderful fashions.
But no matter what we thought of
them last year or the year before, we
welcome them now, and take them all

The skirt is the ell-absorbing topic Of
the day, No one can make up her
mind whether she will have a new
fashioned bell, round skirt, skirt
faring well at the edge or a gathered
skirt. And those that have skirts of
last year, too good to throw away,
which they are trying to make over into
something more modern, are in despair;
for last years bell refuses to be re-
modelled. Alasl there isn't enough Of
it around the hips; there is no way that
we can add the necessary fullness. In
this age of growing hips the old bell
finds no place, and must either be worn
oravely as it is, or else be discarded for
ever. The new skirts have even little
fullness in the front. and considera bic

a way of slipping with sweet grace into

their places of their own accord. So

But l must finish about my dresses
The next one that excited my adnira-
ton was OF palest green silk, white chit
fou, white velvet ribbon and pale green
ribbon; black lace, black velvet and Jet,
and all these various materials were
combined IN most pleasing fashion.
The pale green silk predominated, of
course. The black lace was observed
in three little dounces at the feet, in
deep fouuccs at the shoulder puffs, and
in another deep hounce around the de-
collete corsa-e. The white chiffon
formed rEche above the black ruflles
on the skirt, finely gathered bodice
and big sleeve-pufls. The jet united
the white puffs and the lace sleeve-ruflles
headed the full slantinT black vel
vet ceinture that started under the
right arm and ended at the waist line
on the left, and hung IN deep fringe on
the lower edge of the same ceinture,
The white ribbon joined the green rib
bon, and together they stood out in
small bow on each shoulder, in another
on the right arm, IN still one more on
the right side Of the bodice, and finally
in one of great length at the LETT side,
falling from the velvet. Is your mag
ination equal to the task of adjusting
these details and constructing beauti-
ful gown therefrom? If not, gaze upon
the pictured whole.

This is one for stately matron, and

gown, of princesse cut, opens wide to
admit black lace front, cut very low,
and filed in above by a fchu OF rare
creamy lace. Little puffs of the same
lace are on the shoulders. The full
sleeves are caught in twice by plain
bands, and then allowed TO fall freely.
A loose game belt in front disappears
beneath the ruby velvet at the sides.

About Salad Dressing.

Every one in New York who eats salad
thinks that there are few people in
town who can make fairly good salad
dressing, but that none of them can come
up to the dressings made by him (the
thinker).
81 tell you, sir, said Boggs, the gour-
mand, as he deluges the lettuce with
grease, .sthat fellow Snoggs thinks he
knows how to do this, but he doesn't
have any more idea of it than COW.
Think of it, he puts in more vinegar than
oilr'
At the same moment Snoggs is mixing
dressing in another part of town and
snickering to himself as he remarks: 81
was very much amused the other night
at the way Boggs did this. He actually
made dressing without vinegarl Ha!
Har and every one laughed.
Then there is Juggins, of West Thirty
fourth street, who also has his peculiar
views. "Any man." he declares, ''who
puts mustard in q salad shows his igno-
rance"
Muggins, of East Sixty-seventh street,
also has decided convictions. "What do
YOU think" he roars out; 81 saw Juggins
putting mustard in salad dressing"
Then some put in sugar. Others think
this an awful absurdity. A few use a
dab of Worcestershire sauce. Others
would rather be lynched than follow
their example.
The funny thing is that there is only
one way to make salad dressing. That
is the way known to the reader of this
article.
But the funniest thing is that the same
diner out will devour the dressing made
by Boggs and join in with his jokes at
the expense of the dressings made by
Snoggs, Muggins and Juggins. Then the
same man will eat at the table of Mug
gins and apparently sneer with that per-
son at the efforts Of Snoggs, Boggs and
Juggins.
There's lot of conceit and deceit
about salad dressings.-New York Her
