prCguOstic often finds himself placed IN
the unpleasant position of having TO
contradict his previous prophecies.
Such models as deserve their claim
Of being called a nouveaute give an
impression if scantiness in spite of the
rich trimmings and thus the combat of
the sleeve, already decided in favor on
narrowness. has begun anew. Sleeves
of medium width srm hold their own,
and even the leg o. mutton is received

much discussed trosseau of bride in
highest aristocraric circles decidedly
favors this last named sleeve form,
particularly in connection with dali
matte epaulettes or founces to- aid still
more 70 the width OF the shoulder and
upper arm. AT the same occasion. we
also observe that although the pointed
bodice is displayed on one or two
gowns. the blouse still holds the place
ofhonor. One Gown designed for even
ing dress as well as for afternoon dress
is made of cream white striped benga-
line. The skirt Of comfortable walking
length is quite plain. while the unlined
deliberately tucked blouse with jabot of
real lace is confined at the waist by q
gold belt closed by o buckle in the
shape of a gold snake with emerald
eyes. Such charming simplicity of

as an overstfrt. or is trimmed 20 simu-
