complement of separate skirt of
some lovely description, it is said,
has taken another lease of life and
will retain it's present popularity

tinued vogue. For autumn it is
proposed to make it chiefly in rich
dark silks the heavier qualities of
fancy taffeta, plain lustrous, fine
repped faille, unpatterned or WOW
en- of two colors, velvet striped
Liberty silks and satins, fancy sat
in surahs in oriental effects, etc
and to harmonic them as much as
possible in point of color with the
skirts they will be worn with.

almost unbcarable. tits no use to
complain to the authorities, how

abate the nuisance, or compel the
owners of pig pens to use disin-
fectants.
