WAIST AWAITING ADOPTION

There are prophets bold enough to
declare that something a good deal like
the jersey Of some years ago, and also
a good deal like the sweater Of TODAY.
is on its way to offer a solution of the
question What shall we have in the
way of novelty for speciality waists?"
The weave Of the new jersey is a MAJ
vel. The delicate ribs are all curved
to follow the lines Of the figure, and
the garment clapsps the figure so firm
ly and closely that no boning is re-
quired, though a perfect corset is ne
cessary. Into the peace, spangles,
beads, lines Of silk, or satin or so on,
are set, allowing any degree Of elab-
Grafton in effect. One example shows
merely a CLINT of cerise under the
threads Of mulberry color that make
the tone Of the jersey. The garment
laces at the sides and on one shoulder.
1t fits like a glove. The usual elab-
Grafton OF collar shoulder pieces and
boleros will be worn with it, one pro-
phet says. till the public gets used to
the change"but the tight sleeves points
to the revival of the tight all-over bod
ice, and we have been comfortable so
long now that we will be slow to sub
nit to anything but an elastic tight Mt.
While what this soothsayer styles
the public is deciding whether it is
worth while to become accustomed to
this new sort OF bodice, sensible wom-
en- can well afford to interest them
selves in something less radical. Here
is a model that makes severe enough
demands in the way Of a good figure
and yet what "the public" is used to.
1t was tight fitting, with small bo-
lero that was appliqued with white
lace. Yoke and collar were white chif-
fon garnished with steel galoon, and
the sleeves were large puffs reaching
to the elbow and ending with deep ruff

A THIRD-TERM GOWN.

Teachers of dress making report a
great deal of interest in their advanced
courses, and they explain by the revi-
val of favor for princess dresses. The
course of instruction usually begins
with making a plain skirt and simple
bodice, then come lessons in drafting
and matching stripes and plaids, and
after that princess and evening gowns
receive attention. Unless the pupil
intends to make dresses for other
women than herself, she rarely goes
beyond the stripes and plaids. But
now the home dressmakers that grad
uated' before princess models were
reached, are returning for further in
struction. Pictured here is a dress
that resulted from such instruction, but
though the pupil can honestly say she
made it, all her work had the closest
supervision, and the credit for skill
should be accorded to the teacher and
for patience and persistence to the

ers in front, and the jackets edges
and collar were braided with passe-
mentrie. The plain sleeves were un-
usual. for women's Shoulders are most
invariably covered with small puffs or
with something of similar outline. and
the severe coat sleeve is rarely accept
able. 1t will be readily seen from this
picture, however, that the jacket was
sufficiently ornate without trimming
on the sleeves.
The spring jacket Is to be short, to
have very little fullness Of hip skirt,
and to demurely cross double and
smooth in front, while it follows the
lines of the figure at sides and back.
Some dainty little garments for wear
with early spring dress are being
shown in the notifications of a cape
that crosses surplice fashion in front,
one end disappearing, the other mar
rowing to point and fastening at the
belt little to one side. These affairs
in velvet, lined brightly. and possibly
with touch of fur, will take the place
of that cape you bought early this fall
thinking it would do so nicely for
spring" That is the. way to get fool
ed when We try to Garry over" You
can cut up the little cape though.
Make it serve as caps at the sleeves, as
collar and cuffs, and wear it with the
new spring rig.
Quite the ugliest device in fur comes
as the winter nears its end. It is a
muff with the head OF an animal dan
CLING forlornly at one opening, and
with bushy tail ornamenting the 9TH
er end. Have women no imaginations?
What is the effect of carrying the
hands in the muff so adorned? Ugh.

the board of health should have the
city thoroughly celansed.
Using no water that has not been
sterilized by boiling it, is said to al
most immunize persons against chole-
ra even in unsanitary Asia; conse-
quently general sanitation supple
mented by personal cleanliness, would,
in this country, render the use of ster-
ilized water as a preventive of cholera
useless.
The question, when doctors disa-
gree, who shall settle the dispute" has
been solved by the New York Legisla-
ture. The doctors have disagreed as
to the contagiousness of consumption.
but the Legislature of New York has
passed law authorizing certain health
officers to search private houses for
consumptives, and, if any are found,
to remove them to hospitals for per-
sons with that disease. The law Is
stringent in its provisions.
1t would have been far more effec-
tive as a preventive measure, had the
Legislature prohibited the marriage of
persons suffering from consumption.
or carrying in their bodies, the germ Of
hereditary consumption. Such a law
would tend to stamp out consumption.
if such thing was within the bounds
Of possibility.
The crowding of a number of con-
sumptives into an hospital set apart
for that particular disease, would ex-
ert a very exhilarating(?) infeuce on
consumptives-raise their spirits and
re-kindle the hope of recovery in their
breasts.
