grenadine and the delicate china grapes.
Besides all these legions there are the
waists made entirely of silk. These are
sold in the stores from SIS. SO to $50
each. The silk ones, like the others, arc
bedecked with ribbons and garnished
with lace, velvet or perhaps the ubiqui
tous chiffon. All these are intended to
be worn with skirts of different color or
material, and there are few of this sea-
sons goods that will not ''go'' with q
fancy waist.
Black silk, MORE, henrietta cloth or
brillantine, or, in fact, anything except
cotton goods, is a suitable com animation
with one of these waists. One very
handsome waist was made of pale blue
chiffon over pale blue taffeta. The waist
part had three rows of shirrings at the
neck and two rows at the waist, leaving
the intervening space to fall into natural
plaits The elbow sleeves were plainly
puffed, with a gauffered fall of chiffon,
like bretelles. The collar was draped
and finished with puffs at the sides, and
on the shoulders were other puffs.
Around the whole of the waist were set
vandykes of gold GALLON, the lower
points falling loose and free, and in that
way they added a trimming to whatever
skirt was worn, the gold being suitable
for any color.
Another not quite so striking had
pulled chiffon elbow sleeves over pink
glace and a shirred blouse waist over
the same kind of silk. Around the
shoulders and in front was fichu Of
chiffon edged with valenciennes. A
fancy silk waist was of mauve taffeta
IL Id - IL r0Tl
was blouse shape, and there was a very
full vest of deep heliotrope silk muslin,
and an extremely full basque frill
around the waist. At the neck was an
astonishing series of bows and plaitings
of the muslin and ribbon of pale lilac.
The ends of these bows hung down
loosely, blouse fashion, and were pinch
ed in at the waist and hung from there
to the knees. There are also very many
new fancy vests to be worn with open
jackets, like Etons, with sleeves, which,
] think, are going to be much liked.
1t is taking Americans long to under
stand that tight fitting corsages accen-
tuate any natural defect and are even
on a perfect figure not half as pleasing
as the new effects of drapery. The
blouse front is the least pleasing of all.

and bottom, is always very becoming,

they have been refused permission
by the authorities there to proceed
any further, presumably having
been ordered to do 30 by the gov

been warned away.
The Porte:is not disposed to expel
any OF these correspondents, but has
instructed the Erzeroum officials to
inform them that they pursue their
venture at their own personal risk.
The official reason assigned for this
action is that the correspondents
