PRINCESS GOWNS.
FnvOrlte Creations OF the Up to Bate
Dressmaker.
Especial Correspondence.I


New YoRK, Oct. II. - That the
princess dress is a fized favorite this
season there is no gainsaying, and part
of this popularity, think, is due to
the fact that it is SO easily adapted to
any requirement. Beginning in the
morning the lady may have a wrapper
in that shape or at least partly princess.
In the afternoon she may wear a lovely
tea gown cut with the same flowing
curved lines, thing of grace and beauty
in itself. A visiting costume may be as
elegant and ornate as the Wearer de-
sires, and the sweeping skirt is also
proof of the princess shape. For opera
and for ball, for grand dinner or other
swell function, the princess is also quite
the proper gown, only that each must
be specially adapted by material and by
trimming to the purpose. Very slim
and very stout figures are scarcely
adapted for princess gowns, yet such is
the almost sUperhuman cleverness of
the nineteenth century dressn2ker
these ladies are made to look we'll after
all in these gowns. A little judicious
padding across shoulders and the under
standing of the values of special ar
engagements Of trimming give the slen-
der woman what she lacks and deoeives
the eye which looks upon the stout one.
