think that a new fancy which has sud
denly developed will be one to last long,
ana that is the new Garibadi blouse waist.
1t is gathered full all the way down the
shoulder seams and all the gathers are
brought forward into stirring of six
inches. The bottom is cut rounding about
81 inches, the deepest part directly in
front, and this falls over and outward. 1t
was originated, ! am told by Mile. Laval
lere, the famous French actress, and
gained sudden favor. The princess gown
is also one of the seasons successes,
though, to be sure, little of the original
plan remains except the graceful slope of
the long curved lines from neck to feet.
All the rest is arranged after the other
prevailing fashions, and the skirt Is I'm
/ ishcd off with the heavy organ pipe PLANTS.
Some of them are open down the front,
which is cut away to IA short distance be-
low the waist, and this is done to set in
vest front of some other color or material.
Others, of thick wooden goods, have heavy
braiding set on to outline coat basque.
This is novel and exceedingly effective.
Coattails, or Positions, rs some call
them, are seen ON some handsome tailor
gowns l remember one that was very
stylish and very pretty too. Stylish gowns
are not always pretty.
This particular gown was Of fawn col
orcd cloth, the skirt being rather plain in
front The back was loosely gathered
On each hip there was n lap, on which
were set five large smoked pearl buttons.
The basque was slightly pointed in front
and lapDcd tn the left side, where it fas-
tened with six buttons, like the others.
The wide cloth rcVcrs were pipcd with Stat !
gray velvet and also faced with the same.
There was chcmisrttc vest Of white vel
vet and d1apod collar of the same, with
the little winglike shirring showing on
each side of the back of the neck. In the
back the basque was fitted with two seams,
and the position hung down to the knees
and lay in fat plaits from the buttons
Some fancy that this is the tororunncr OF
another furare for the incroyable styles
The fashion might he worse
The pretty little fancy for the shirrcC
and draped collars is finding very great ia
vor. and the bows, shirrs or rosCttes are
placed as far back rs possible, with view
to forming soft little frame for the face
which is becoming to evCrybody Thes
may be Of silk, velvet, null, chiffon o
lace, either black or white l have secl
them of crcpon and of crepe de chine
think though, that the prettiest are thos
of the lightost material.
One of the ncatcst and dainticst of tn
| quaint styles now in vogue is gown tina
saw today. 1t is of printed, or rattle
brocadcd silk taifcta, the figure being
sort of lattice work Of faint black outline
on u violet ground which is Of two shade
