The gayest house dresses are being
made of bright plaid set off by black.
An imported one, fresh from an ocean
voyage, has a skirt of thin black goods,
into which are set fans of yellow, green
and red plaid. The fans are the thinnest
of plaid cloth and are crinolined to set
out well.
The bodice is in two distinct parts. The
vest is of black cloth, with a deep frill
of the plaid around the belt. 1t closes
with small steel buttons. trimming
OF the plaid heads the vest. and there
are sleeve puffs of plaid goods.
The sleeves and yoke are of plain
checked goods in black and white, made
in the plainest, simplest way possible.
Were the sleeve puffs taken off, the waist
would be a return to the small shoulders
| the shoulders with a steel button, and
there are other buttons of steel at the
head of the fans upon the skirt

pieces of goods can be utilized by the
