Drawings Of these two gowns would be most in
teresting, but. as the description reads II might
be included in fashion magazine to-day as 1.-The
latest advice from Paris" This bride of forty-odd
years ago has described full skirt, such as the
dressmakers showing; the pointed over
sleeve. with the full thin undersleeve, that has
been In vogue for the last six months, and the
puckered velvet trimming on the skirt easily
recognized. Undoubtedly the bodice had long
shoulders and bad lines such as would not be per-
nitted to-day, but the points of the gown
may be found in the ''walking-out' gown of an
Easter bride. The description OF the second gown
is even more remarkable. The material is what
might be known butchers linen: the short
jacket is easily recognized a bolero and certain
ly the half sleeves with the muslin undersleeves
familiar to-day. It certainly odd how exactly
fashions are repeated.
