is everything to be dessredy Each week
the shops display additional novelties
in materials and trimmings as well. so
there should be little difficulty In get

The modes OF this last spring of the
nineteenth century present these famll-
lar features:
The princess dress.
The po!opalse.
The overskirt and the tunlc.
The plated skirt.
The bolero and the Elton jacket
The box coat
The lavish use of lace. embroidery
and fringe.
And the long, soft. pliable effect of
nearly every gown.
