OVERSKIRTS ASSURED.
They Will BE Worn, But the Tight
Effect, However. Must BE
Retained.

OverSkirts are assured. This is SEEM
ingly contradiction to the fact that
the close-fitting and tightly-dr eff
feet must be obtained. How is this to
be done but by leaving off petticoats
and wearing tights? Precisely this is
the expedient being adopted in Paris,
and, consequently, here, as the days
have gone by when Paris STYLES took at
least year to make their way into our
affections.
The dress skirt itself very tight
around the hips and fiaring around the
lower edge, is to take the place of the
petticoat. The overskirt to be worn
over this lower skirt we have already il
Illustrated and described. Only the
most elinging and soft materials will
be Used for these. Preference is given
to those having crepe weave, but
woven in such a way as to produce the
appearance of solid silk. Among these
metcrials the new satin antique is very
strong.
When sleeves are tight, soft mate
rials, mostly laces and goods of that
variety, will be shirred over them Lace
all-overs will be the great thing for
waists; in fact. transparencies are to
be the rage of the seasons styles. All
the nets are to be used, mousseline and
chiffon giving way to the net varieties
Heavy Planen goods will be used in
very artistic designs on taffeta Innings
of contrasting colors. The coming pop
ularity of the style will make the season
very brilliant one. The sleeves of
dresses of this kind will be of plain OF
fancy taffeta in corresponding colors,
trimmed in bands or squares or other
arrangements of galloons of lace to-
match.-BoSton Post.

THE minister of education of SaXony,
DIR. De Seydewitz, has stirred up a hor-
nets nest in the feminine world by the
issuance of a decree whereby all girls
and young ladies attending the public
schools and colleges in SaXony must
abandon the practice of wearing cor
sets and stays. The wearing of
corsets by girls of tender age and the
habit of tight lacing have become so
prevalent, particularly in Dresden, that
the state foresees in the corset a grave
menace to the well being of posterity.
Public opinion approves the minister's
action.
