sists Of plaid skirt and jacket of
plain cloth. First of all, the skirt
must cling; secondly, trail. and, third
ly, the manner of its fastening must
be left to conjecture. The skirt, COM
paratively speaking, has been clinging
all winter, but not until the tailor
maid appeared did we appreciate it as
perfect work" In keeping with its
abbreviated proportions the tailor
maids jacket has been christened q
"coatee," and with it she wears a soft
India silk shirt waist and a lace scarf
twined several times about her neck.

For the delectation of the ultra
