THE TRAIN.
IL Has Come Into Favor AgaiR and
Grows Longer and Longer
Every Day.

It is a long train that has no curtail-
ing, and common-senss, cornfort-loving
women, who do not wish to be con-
spicuously behind the style. are anx-
iously asking themselves where these
fashionable rear extensions will come
TO stop.
The train of a smart cloth walking
dress flows two inches on the floor,
while house and dinner gowns trail out
from six inches to three feet behind
their wearers. The proper train gath
ers NO fullness at the waist line, but is
so skillfully cut that from six inches
below the waist Its amplitude begins.
Up about the placket hole its gathers
are pinched and close, but at the knee
it begins TO flare, and thence flows
forth, broad and fanlike, to the ground.
Over hips and front every dress skirt
now fits with shieidlike smoothness,
flaring so little below the knees that
the average petticoat seems to fit its
wearer as neatly as a silk casing does
an umbrella.
Observation iustifes the statement
that no hair cloth is used in any train,
but coarse muslin, as an interlining,
runs from hem to hip, and only in the
back. Perhaps the most serious phase
of the train, though, is that II does not
appear to advantage when held high
and clear Of street dust and dirt The
cut of the new skirt demands that, for
the sake both of dignity and grace, the
train be left to flow unchecked and
even the most astute woman cannot
support these rear folds in her hands
with becoming postures. For this rca
son many of the tailors face the trains
Of walking suits with thin leather fol
the depth Of four or seven inches, ant
also, for this reason, independent splr
its and clcanly souls are arrayed In
fierce revolt against the train Rbomina
tion, as they not unjustiRably term it
