ALL HAIL THE FlCHU.
1t Is the Most Fascinating Adjunct to
woman's Toilet.


There is at last a tendency to disre-
gard the fascinations of the huge
sleeves, and many of the most pic
turesque evening gowns which are now
cmanating from the best Partisan
ateliers show the tight sleeves trimmed
just above the elbow with three obtru-
sive frills. This is, of course, specially
suited to the Vatican style of dress,
and the effect of baroness, which would
otherwise strike us from the absence
of the extreme fullness on the Shout
der, may be counteracted by the double
frills on the full fichu, which is the
legitimate addition to gowns of this
period. On serious consideration-or,
OF least, as serious as the festive season
permits me to give anything-l am
tempted to swear that the fichu is the
most becoming article of attire ever
invented. 1t may, if worn with tact,
conceal or reveal feminine charms-or
want of them. 1t has a 4ace all its
own, and there is scarcely an occasion
to which it may not be adapted. You
may wear it in the summer over a cot
ton gown crossed over the bust and tied
at the back into a bow with long ends.
1t will impart a measure of elegance to
the simplest of frocks. You can buy it
in white mousseline de sole and tuck it
into an embroidered corselet, providing
it with simple skirt of silk or satin,
when it will offer itself as suitable for
wearing at the small dinner, or you may
choose for its service chiffon and frills
of old lace, and drape it round with
decolletage of your white satin gown,
permitting it to show the top of your
shoulders, TO fasten in the front with
bow and ends to reach to the waist
completing the effect with large satin
sleeves and full white satin skirt, and
perhaps single rose set in the front OF
the knot which holds the bow. Iprom.
Use you the general effect will be voted
alike by your dearest friends and your
dearest enemies perfectly charming
AS further inducement to worship al
the shrine of the fichu let me casually
point out the fact that it will adorn the
dressing gown, and that this form of
decoration for the top of the night
gown is unrivaled.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.
