The different coils of hair are then waved

1t is consistent, of course, for the gaiety
Of the stockings to influence the coloring

they are wrought is beautiful enough to

Concerning PetticOats.


Flannel petticoats or short petticoats are
made with just as much care now as are
skirts of gowns. They should be cut out
in front so that they will not make the
waist line bulky, and must be finished with
very narrow binding, and with the full
ness over the front and sides put into
seams side darts. Even in the back
the fulness is as much warred against as
possible by using the fat-stitched pleat.
This design seems to be more possible than
the. fitted yoke excepting with the heavy
flannel petticoat, and this is shockingly
questionable just now, anyway. A yoke
of fine cambria is much less cumbersome
than flannel could possibly be. The flannel
skirts finished with silk-emhroidered or
lace-edged ruftieS with ruffeS cut into
scallops and embroidered, and with the lace
sewed below the scallops. The petticoats
are quite wide around the edge, and very
clever plan to prevent their wearing out
too soon is to have extra gussets put in
half way down the side seams This does
not interfere with the fit of the petticOat
and yet gives more width directly across
the front, where the tight-fittng petticoat
is very apt to show signs of wear

1t IS undoubtedly the ambition OF every
woman who takes the slightest interest in
her personal appearance to make her figure
appear as slender and elegant as possible,
but 1t Is not always easy to arrive at the
desired result. Nothing has more dis
astrously aging effect than a clumsy figure,
and anything which will help to insure a
graceful contour must come as the pro-
verbal boon and blessing to every one who
knows how to appreciate the charm of a
slim figure.
corset OF very ingenious construction
has lately been brought out which cannot
fail to achieve the desired object and to
produce In short time that graceful effect
which is absolutely necessary nowadays TO
insure the success of gowns that are made
IN the latest fashion.
The upper part of the corset Is beautifully
shaped following the natural lines OF the
figure with ease and elegance and giving
an admirable support to the back while 1T
insures also a graceful contour TO the bust.
1t is below the waist, however, that this
corset is even more efficacious and that It
Is constructed in so ingenious and original
fashion. The plan is such a simple one
that Ii seems quite surprising that IL should
not have been thought of long before. On
each side below the line of the waist a tri-
angular piece is cut out of the corset At
the base of these triangles there is a wide
and firm elastic belt, which serves a double
purpose, inasmuch as il keeps the corset
firmly In position at the same time that 1t
congresses the figure where gentle compress
sion cannot possibly be injurious and gives
1t very comfortable and healthful support.
The stays fasten down the center in the
ordinary way, but above the elastic belt
there are two loose fronts, made in one
with the stays themselves, and arranged
so that they can be laced across the front
and drawn in at will until the figure Is re-
duced to graceful proportions.
The loose fronts are constructed in such
way that when they laced closely
they are quite smooth and leave no rucks or
creaSeS underneath.

Passing of the Feminine Tan Shoe.
From the Boston Evening Transcript.
The popularity of the tan shoe for wo-
mems wear is thing of the past, accord
ing to the statements of Lynn manufac-
turers who have made a speciality of their
production in late years. Without excep-
ton, the makers report marked falling
off in the demand for them, and some con-
Germs have not sent out any samples of
them for this season. Tan shoes for wo-
men were always regarded by shrewd men
fin the shoe business as more or less of a
fad and were not expected to become an
established feature of the business,
One of the chief causes for the loss in
popularity which the tan shoe has sustain
ed Is the fact that tan shoe, size for size
looks larger than the black shoe. This
alone was enough to bring 1t into disfavor
and when. in addition, 1t Is considered

PIaytime Overalls.


When boys get old enough to put on
trousers they are given blue overalls made
of denim, which protect the clothes from
wear and tear that is necessary to chill
dren's existence in a way that is perfectly
marvellous. And lately it has been the
fashion for girls to wear these same over
alls. They look very cunning in Them and
are certainly most comfortable. Mothers
who object to having their little girls
dressed like their brothers have long
aprons with a string at the top and bot
tom This apron is put on over the dress,
turned up underneath, and the string is
tied round the waist. making, it were,
a bag. 1t protects the clothes almost as
we'll as the overall but is not quite as good.
Boomers of denim or Gaiatea with blouses
to match are worn by both boys and girls,
but when the girls wear the blouses, they
have them made long enough to almost
cover the boomers. and that gives them
more feminine appearance. There are
many sensible mothers who object to dress
ing boys and girls alike, for the reason
that it makes the girls grow tomboyish
This is scarcely a sensible reason, and
any such tendency may easily be obviated
by having a supply Of fancy frocks for
afternoon wear, trimmed with lace or en-
broidery and with pretty sashes and rib
