GOSSIP OF DAME FASHION
The New Waist and It's Effect
 Upon Corsets
Fin-de-sieele Leap-Year Fad-How My Lady's Presses should Be Cared For and Arranged New Skirts
 and Skirt Material.

The summer girl has come and fled. Soon the holidays will be upon us. and 1t behoeyes the maiden to look well to her rights of the leap year before this last favored year of the century closes. Never again in the Nineteenth century will it be permitted her to propose.
 Nor does the American girl alone plan for these few remaining days. In our sister republic across the water some clever maid has started a fad which will not tarry long from our shores.
 And that my readers maybe prepared with suitable clothing, I will give an outline of what we will do when we are in the threes of this fad.
 Be it known, therefore, that if a fair maid should avail herself of her rights to propose, and the recipient of her ia yor should so far forget himself as. to re fuse the honor. she may demand from him silk dress. But to claim this dress with propriety, she must at the time of asking be the wearer of a pair of sear- let bloomers. In order that the gentle man may be assured of this fact. it is permitted that she exhibit the lower portion of the boomers. The gentle man is then obliged to present her with
