Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal.
New York, Sept. 20.-Dressmakers do not
predict special innovations In corsages, and
this for the reason that present outlines are
capable of SO many aesthetic changes and
additions, to say nothing of economy in re-
newing worn places, covering up dehcien-
cies or putting two or more materials, To-
gether with identifying results. Potent In
the lines just mentioned are fancy yokes,
vests, jacket fronts or cunning semblances
of the same, and the many who have IN
vested in Elton or Bolero jackets during
spring can possess their souls in peace, for
orce again they will pass unscathed by a
contemptuous gaze. Chief, perhaps, IN
ornate additions is the full vest or front
that Is capable of such adaptation; and In
keeping with the above ideas, has come the
Erect Form corset, and its extraordinary
and rapidly increasing popularity Is not
matter of surprise, since It combines APP
parently opposite and conflicting results. A
straight military bearing does not hinder
womanly softness and grace in outline.
