For girls who ride wheels these under
waists viii prove invaluable since silk
prevents the rapid changes in bodily tenn

A cold is often the forerunner of very

the soft underwaists, wear them when
ever you need a little more warmth and
begin the winter entirely without any sign
of incipient colds.
The fashionable modistes have an
nounced to their clients that they will fit
gowns for next season only over the new
shape ~corsets, while the cloak and man
tie makers say all garments for the fab

figures wearing the same style. There is

accentuate the length of the waist and to
raise the bust.
TIL new corset has what the shop girls
call "the low bust and sudden hip
The back is noticeably narrow, the hips
very full and the bust entirely without

garment scarcely touches the figure at

it being the highest part of the corset.
The hips and under-arm pieces, being
remarkably full, have a tendency to in
crease the width of the body, giving the
wearer the fullness of figure SO noticeable
in French fashion plates. OF course, this
increase of size just above and below the
waist has a tendency to make it appear
smaller than it really is. The change
will not be objected to by slender women,
while, on the other hand, to women with
a su-perabundance of flesh the new corset
will be nothing short of an abomination
which they will be slow to adopt.

Madame Qui Viye writes in the nfWest-
minister Gazette" AS all the world wears
a sailor hat at the seaside, here is a
wrinkle there-anent. In putting on your
veil, first fasten the top edge of it to fit
around the crown, so that it stands firmly
in a fold; then gather up the loose ends
and knot them at the back. Tn veil (of
| double width, thus manoeuvred, seems
to soften the outlines of the whole hat,
fits over the face perfectly, and defies

OF a veil is no mean triumph, as she or
even he who ever makes observations on
this point must acknowledge. Last sum-
mer Frenchwomen formed the top edge
of their wells into a definite fold, which
they placed to stand around the brim of
the hat. With fresh crisp yelling the eff

becoming.
The latest fiat of fashion is that only
when they accompany a toilet or costume
in black and white effects are white
gloves stitched with black any longer in
dispensable for day wear. Doe color, bis
cult, mushroom, almond and pale brown
and tan shades are, strictly speaking,
more fashionable. The economical,
whether from choice or necessity, will be
glad at this change of fashion, for white
gloves, even with the greatest care, soil
very quickly, and nothing looks worse
than a dingy white glove.

Lined wells are a novelty this season.
Black lined with white or the reverse are
favorite combinations. A season or so
ago an attempt was made to line wells
with c%olors, but it was not received with
favor. Ar experienced woman says:-"A

there is much truth in the assertion.
One need scarcely be possessed of the
powers of a clairvoyant to distinguish

ligiously carried their sunshades by their
scarcely perceptible tan. Then again
