to it very considerably, as a scarf of
this kind is sure to be one of the lead
ing features of the summer fashions
For evening dress, too, these fchus Will
be very much worn, made in fine net or
in silk muslin edged with lace, or even
carried out entirely in lace. with lace
frills and very long sash ends, frilled
with lace. For young people with good
figures these fichus will be crossed in
front. taken under the arms and then
tied at the back in a big bow, with sash
ends reaching to the hem of the skirt.
For other figures no longer so young
or so slim as they We're, the fichus will
be draped lightly round the shoulders
and then drawn down to point little
below the line of the waist in front.
with diamond slides, and from that
point they will hang quite loosely over
the front of the skirt, the long lines
thus arrived at giving considerable
length and elegance to the figure.
/ must not forget, in my enthusiasm
| for the picturesque scarf, that the pop
| ular little short coats, reaching only a
| few inches below the waist-referred to
above--are having an opportunity to be
picturesque also. Detachable revers, in
| white cloth or pique, are selling very
| freely for wear with them, and are a
i blessing indeed to the up-to-date wo-
| man who feels that she cannot afford
| the white or white MORE facing on her
coat, as it soils so rapidly. These others
| can, of course, be cleaned or washed
| as often as you please. In addition to
| the revers we have lovely sailor collars
| offered us, in lawn or muslin crossed
| by lace insertions and finished with
| lace frlls. Here is a valuable hint: For
the evening gown of the moment crepe
de chine is reigning supreme, that is,
| the swell modstes are making them
| for their best customers, and why
| should you not follow suit, you who per-
| haps cannot afford to patroniZe these
| same expensive dressmakers? These
| gowns are made up with the most fas-
| cinating folded bodices, chemisettes Of
| real lace and Marie Antoinette sleeves,
fitting absolutely skin-tight on the
| shoulders.

to the Gibson form" which is really
the ideal Delsarte form chistened by
the name of the popular artist who has
given 1t his sanction. This means Il
short back, hollow at the waist, a long
line from the shoulder to the point of
the bust, which should be very full, a
small waist and fiat abdomen. The
women who can assume this position
gives the hip a beautiful curve and is
sure of being at once graceful and
stylish. Corsets are now modelled on
this plan and give the fiat abdomen by
the straight front" cut. This of course
can be readily understood when you
pause to think that flesh must go some
where. and if room is given in front at
the waist line. it will remain where ma
tuer intended it should, and the straight
line of the Greek statue will be pre-
served. Very low corsets. scarcely
more than girdle at the sides and
back, are fad with fashionable women
and. when the figure is rounded and
the lace trimmed lingerie of the present
moment is worn, the effect is still more

The Reign of the White Skirt Has Com

There is a demand, ever increasing,
for the snowy lace trimmed, or founced,
or Vandyked affair. designed to give
the proper fu1lness to the lightweight
summer dresses. The new models are
gored, fitting very closely round the
hips, and the wide f1ounces continuous,
or in square panel effects, are elabo-
