The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1897-02-17

It in color Over the blouse there must
come a bolero of some delicate, light
colored velvet, preferably Of the same
tint as the skirt lining. This bolero
requires embroidery in gold and jewels.
You need black satin corselet and
some. dainty finish of white or cream
colored lace at the throat, and then
your visiting or reception costume is
CONNIE il faut, as it rs necessary.
/ cannot talk back to millinery great
ness but can ape the manners of my
betters and play the despot in my turn.
You are required, if you care to show
yourself we'll abreast of the fashions,
to wear your bodice trimmings high up
on the shoulders. Pufings of ribbon or
velvet and large ribbon bows stand
erect. They are wired if they refuse TO
do SO, for they must not flare at the
sides. You will show your understand
ing of the situation if you have an even
ing bodice with a high wired collar
from the shoulders, but this is not OBJ
ligatory.
You must be quick to catch the new
lines of the sleeve. To gather it in at
the shoulder without any rise to it, let
it hang almost in a bag 10 the elbow,
then tighten it gradually and not with
any pinching exactness to the wrist
and let it flare broadly over the hand,
is the mode for next spring. Look at
pictures of 1910, of the decade that
Conan Doyle writes of in his newest
book, if you need more detailed de-
scription. There is less fullness and
more droop at the shoulders, a looser
cut and with more curve and fleXbility
from elbow to wrist and more daring
outburst at the wrist than you get in
the experimental, transitional sleeve of
to-day.
Every bodice, jacket and cloak has u
most enormously high collar of lace or
chiffon; or If the collar is of silk or vel
vet, it is cloven, so that lace or chiffon
cen be introduced between.
The sacque-back coat continues the
favorite model in cloth or fur. 1t is
better called a whole-back coat, for this
betier expresses what is really meant,
that it has no seam in the back at all
Sometimes the front hangs straight al
so, but for this there is only silent per
mission, not approval. One box plat
on either side of the front is according
to the letter of the law and gives a
much better figure. Great numbers of
bodices have these box plaits in front,
coming below the waist, and they are
becoming more and more the smiled
upon design.
For every evening bodice you must
be prepared 10 squander material
enough for two, the drapings are be-
coming so intricate. 1t is now quite
according to rule to combine, some
times one might better say piece to-
gether, four designs, having the two
fronts different each from each and
from the two backs, which claim the
same privilege. 1t is not easy TO do this
and achieve harmony, and perhaps that
is why she who must be obeyed thinks
it worth trying.
Madame Paris, otherwise "she," sticks
to broad corselets back and front, but
has at the same time weakness for
extremely narrow metal belts studded
with jewels,
There are no changes in skirts that
are at all startling. The safest model
at present is gathered on thick cord
about the hips, so as to throw the full
ness behind, 1t is moderately full at
the foot and is far more becoming than
those of yesterday which stood out SO
formidably at the sides.
You can make no mistake in using as
much braidng as possible. 1t is quite
