closed at the wrist by fine tucks leaving a
rufle round the hand, and the neck is nm
ished with a high rufie bound with velvet.
This is carried out in black or a color.
Black taffeta jackets are much worn. An
other jacket carried out In green tafeta has
a yoke of jet, and under the yoke the silk,
plated in the middle of the back for full
ness and merely hemmed, falls out with the
simplicity of a ruf1e. We are very far from
the time, only three years ago, when NJ.
Worth, to my question OF why the fashlon
continued to make fitted jackets when they
were so ugly could reply, Because the
women want to show their forms" This
explanation never seemed to me satisfactory.
The new fashion that obliterates the waist
is as popular as the old one, and neverthe-
less the nature of women has not changed.
BATHING COSTUMES.
The French bathing dress remains in form
what it has been for a number of years, a
combination blouse and drawers, widening
from the armholes out in descent to give
great width below, so that laid fiat 1t de-
scribes nearly an equilateral triangle. There
is a drawing string at the waist line, with
sufficient stay to hold the skirt, that is but
toned on. The knickerbocker effect Is pre-
ferred at the knee, but is not used eX-
clusively. The skirt stops above the knee,
The neck is cut out round or square. AL
most the only variety possible is in the
blouse trimming and the form of the sleeves,
which receive some notifications from what
ever fashion prevails. A new model that has
as much erect OF novelty as Is permitted Is
of black serge, with plastron and sailor col
lar of white. Two clusters of black braid
run round the skirt, one near the edge and
one near the belt. a cluster runs round the
blouse below the armhole. and another on
the front higher up, and round the sleeves,
but the back at this height is covered by
the collar. The neck in front is bound with
black. The braid serves to stiffen the skirt
which is an advantage. White belt, black
stockings and white slippers. Fancy oilskir
cap in plaid. A model in navy blue has two
box plaits in the front of the skirt, and
two simulated plaits, made by stitched
bands, on the front and three on the back
of the blouse, and all these plaits are bounc
with white. A strip of white is stitched
down each shoulder seam. and a knot o.
white on the outer side of the sleeve band:
and at the knee completes the effect as tt
color.
A bathing dress should be simple ant
: depend for it's effect on a sober contras
of color. There are to be seen at the Frencl
beaches, as elsewhere, costumes trimmed
= with lace and rufles, but they are not worl
