FLOOD OF SHIRT WAISTS.


The food of shirt waists which has
appeared in the stores is pretty posi-
tive proof OF their continued popular
ity. They are mnde of lawn, ging-
ham, linen, organdie, batiste and silk,
in plaids and stripes, and all over con-
ventional designs, in every color
known. and while the manner of max
ing them varies little with the use
of many tucks, the main features are
the same-a pointed yoke in the back
and box plnit in front, with tho full
ness on either side. White silk, flow
cred in color, makes n lovely shirt
waist, and should have made stock
collar in the same silk, buttoned on
in front, where it ties in bow. \
narrow linen lawn collar, with tiny
hemstitched hem and lace edge,
turns over the edge in place of the
stiff linen one. Ecru linen batiste,
with black stripe and Dresden flow
ers scattered over it, makes another
style of whist, which is very pretty
with the plain black satin stock or
the wide linen collar. New York Sun.
