WHAT is GOING TO SUPERCEDE II
downright, 1885,. ]


Did Won saw that Empire was the style2
Did you say that everything which comes
from Paris or from the great London
nodistes has an Empire touch, either OF
be tirst, under Josephine, with low-cus,
short-waisted bodice, or Of the Second,
under Eugene, Ia crinolinea
But what would you say If you heard
that the Empire revival was to be only
very shcrt-liyed; that it was soon to be
superseded by the mode Of 1880; that even
now Paris has declared herself in favor Of
81 because she thinks il q graceful go
between style that has all the beauties
Of both and the extravagancies Of neither.
It's little tantslizing, don't you think so,
TO discover that your newest gown, cut in
the very latest fashion, SIS you supposed,
Is about to be followed by another which
will usurp its places
But take heart; don't cast OF your pretty
new gown. It VIII take long while for
the Empire to become old-fashioped, and
there isn't such a difference between the
old and the new to make it worth while
getting the latter, and perhaps those OF US
who are on this side Of the water will still
cling to our first love. For there's good
dress about the American woman, and
favorite style will often iinger long after IL
has been declared old-fashioned.
This was never more strikingly exemph-
6ed than in the matter of the bell skirt.
Long after Worth and Felix had practlc-
ally abandoned it it reigned supreme, and
one could find scarcely g costume worn by
an American that had not bell skirt. At
present the bell, when used, is drawn just
as tightly over ahe hips, but flares much
wider at the feet
THE trimming of skirts grows daily. You
can watch it creeping farther and farther
ND. just at presentit reaches the knees,
and should stop there.
There is still, however, much more at
tention paid to the corsage than to the
skirt Of gown. l saw remarkably
pretty one today on young girl u was
ahorste for the almost plain SKIRT that
/ d simply deep band OF beaver at the
ei.re. The bodice had 9 white crepe front,
with full white velvet belt hooking In the
bacx under knot Of ribbon. Over the
front came short jacket fronts, beaver col
mr. closely embroidered in narrow black
braid. and edged with beaver There was
also band Of embroidery at the neck and
one Of fur above. The sleeves were quite
ehort-hrst puff to the elbow of the cloth,
then wide hanging ruII1es embroidered and
edged with fur.
4 rrettv directoire bodice that / saw for
home wear was made OF black cloth, dot
ted With black silk spots, and had white
helt covered with heavy black silk lace
veaetian point. The bodice turned back in
1srre reyers over a white sstin front that
was ALMOST completely covered by large
how in black tulle. The sleeves were al
mrst plain, and had simply cuff on the
STYLE OF the belt.
saw another bodice intended for very
young girl. II was all white and green,
which is 6 particularly popular combiua-
zion this season. especially for evening
vreer. One sees white gowns with green
velvet sleeves, green gowns with guam
tity of white softening their shades. IL is
