Skirts, while remaining close-ftting
about the hips, are quite full around the
bottom, aud all are long The majority
of corsages preserve the coat effect,
either in actual cut or in the disposition
of the trimming. sleeves are much
less prominent on the shoulders and are
still subsiding. Jackets are all much
longer than those of last spring and

and severe to be becoming to many
faces.t

A few fancy tan and other colored
cloth-topped shoes appear en- suite with
com bination costumes, but nothing
could tie plainer or more absolutely
free from ornament of any kind than

irrelevant fancy buttons have disap-
peared completely, and those who in
sist on glitter of some description adopt
the half patent leather; but the major

graceful "half.high" heel and a protec-
tive sole.-Chicago Post.
