fabrics only will be under discussion. for
tickle Dame Fashion has done with en-
broidered lawns, muslins, organdies,
piques and all such materials and is now

was going out of fashion. Still some who
should know better are now even having
their skirts lined with it. AS result it
will cut through the fabrics probably, and
at all events make the skirts unnecessarily
heavy. l am assured that in three months
large sleeves will be thing of the past;
our skirts will not measure, at the most,
over four yards and half around, and
interlinings will be regarded with marked
disapprobation. Well, we have been carry
ing around about three extra and unneces-
sary pounds for quite long enough and
should hail with delight the advent of a

most stylish shapes. Women with round

a crown composed of series of cores,

is short and rolls back. The only orna-
mentation is ribbon bow at the left side,
through which quill is stuck, or they
may prefer one having the crown all in

narrow stiff brim. Round the crown is a
loosely twisted band of net, through
which quill feather is passed.
