Speaking of belts and corselets there Is
now a fashion, very fortunate for women
inclined to too much plumpnoss, Of belts
forming point in front and finished at

White petticoats are again having their
innings, and in spite of silk, satin and
other luxurious materials, there Is nothing
quite so feminine and dainty as white,
washable underwear after oil. There arc
women who will wear no other kind, ex-
ccpt, of course, an outside petticoat Of col
ored stuff for ordinary use. The present
white pctticoat is of lawn, cambric or ba-
tistc, embroidered Oh the goods itself or
trimmed with ilounces Of embroidery alter
mating with ruf,ics of lace. There are also
skirts Of white tafieta and surah, trimmed
with the SANE material or with founces
Of garze, bordcred with very fine and mar
row guiEure or with narrow valcnciennes
lace.
A sketch is given Of costume Of hello

The bodice Is trimmed at the sides with
white guipure, chemisette of heliotrope
satin showing at both back and front.
