Ladies Fancy Waists for Early
Spring.

With the growing taste for fancy waists
wholly independent of the skirt the problem
Of econOmi ,al dressing becomes susceptible
of any easy solution this season. The same
skirt can be made to serve more than one
purpose, and on the other hand, the bodice
not teiug compelled to conform in style TO
the latter, may be put to several uses, This
d stinction between the two parts OF the cos
tune is greatly facilitated by the new ma
terisls. Thus, the highly artistic broche
crepon OF latest importations is ada irably
suit to skirts both stylish in appearance
and practical for every day wear. The Nc
Dowsll Fashion Magazines just received
contain many designs of new models of
bodices as we'll as skirts. which render them
unusually attractive this month. A practical
feature of these journals is their special cou-

that science will never establish a sin
