and stock collar of crepe-de-chine are
in the palest robin's-egg blue tint.
Several stylish features are embroid-

the shapely collar in shoulder seams
and extend in fanciful epaulettes over
the sleeves being new and attrative.
Glove-6tting Innings that close in CEN

the waist proper. Upward-turning
plests deity arrange the fulness OF
the draped vest over a smooth plast-
ron, that is secured to the right front
lining and closes over on the left. The
stock collar is closed in centre back,
the Medici collar Aaring prettlly
around at the sides. The sleeves are
stylishly gathered in the arm's-eye,

Shirt Waist For a Miss.

The shirt waist of 1899 is charac-
terized by the yoke extending less
over the front, the moderate fullness
and shaping of the sleeve, less pouch
at the waist line in front, and more
elaborate neck decoration than ever
seen before. In place of the simple
linen collar o stock with projecting
fare portion at the topis ofttimes worn,
and very dressy effect is given by
ribbon passed twice around the neck
aud tied in small bow with long ends
at the front. Pink and white striped
percale is daintily depicted in the large
engraving with stock tie of sea foam
green tafieta ribbon. The fronts are
gathered at neck, shoulder and waist
lines, the closing being made with
studs or buttons through buttonholes
worked in the box plat that edges the
right front. The back is laid in side
plaits, three on each side turning to-
ward the center, and the yoke that
forms the upper portion meets thetop
edge in pretty curved point at the
centre. The yoke extends far enough
over the shoulders to hold the gath
cred edges OF the full fronts firmly in
position without detracting from the
stylish shaping or the length of front
that is necessary to handsome figure.
The fullness at the waist line may be
regulated by draw tape. The fashion
able sleeves are gathered top and bot
tom, link cuffs completing the wrists.
The slashed openings are faced by over
laps and narrowly hemmea OF faced
on the under side. Waists in this
style may be of silk, fine woolen or
wash fabrics, foulard, taffeta and
japanese silks, lawn, dimlty. ging-
