Current fashions are not OF a general
trend 20 favor separate waists. yet they
flourish. the showing Of them being as
characteristic of newness and diversity as
are other lines Of women attire.
WOmen's liking for them is what makes
them appear each season in fresh euise,
and it is enough 10 make The average WON
an shudder to consider q time when shirt
waists and separate hodices should not he
permitted to s~tylishness.
So the current array Of separate bodices
is marked by much Of daintiuess and elabo-
rateness, and. as has been the rule of re-
cent years with shOwings Of new styles in
this field. much Of the newnesa seen comes
from the employment OF unfamiliar mate
rails.
Just now there are strikingly handsome
waists of figured pannc velvets. They are
distinctly dress-ups; still, when examined
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1902-12-27

critically, the material is disclosed as the
cause of this, for they are simply made.
There are just now SO many simple waists
of rich stuffs that it is hard to know just
where the line is TO be drawn between the
shirt waist and the dressy waist. The
chief difference lies in the cut and embellish-
ment of the sleeves. elaborateness at this
point determining the garments degree of
dressiness more than will any one other
thing.
Thin evening waists are so delicate and
dainty that one wonders what designers
can accomplish for next summer. Certainly
nothing lighter or more summary can be
devised than these waists. Many on the
order of pattern waists can be bought all
ready TO be made up. These are of crepe
de Chine, lace net. chiffon. silk crepe and
all lovely thin stuffs. many of them EN-
broidered in delicate flower designs.
In the latter the flowers often are 30
raised that the separate petals stand out
by themselves.
Beads and spanEles are used much. both
on the goods as purchased and as trimming
put on in making.
Sleeve puffs are often chiffon.
a new trimming appears In white lace
net over white silk, hand painted in flower
designs.
1t is dainty and more serviceable than
are most equally expensive trimmings, be-
cause the net may be used over different
colored silks and the idea OF several waists
be given. This idea of hand painting on
elk is carried also into the silk drop

TAFFETi-LINED TEA GOWN.
F1Ounce on skirt Is Finished With
Irish Point iRce,

Among the tea gowns are some very
charming models in crepe de Chine. which
adapts itself particularly well to the dom
mating mode of slim figures with I'M
broken lines from shoulder to skirt hem.
one of these in "a lovely tint of old rose
has ratcheted tucking on its sides and in
front. the tuCks forming a deep point in
front. with a line o. very open feather
stitchinG down the center of this breadth.
On the bottom of the skirt is a fiounce Of
Irish point lace finished with a fiaring frill
of white tafteta si'k-the entire gown be
ing lined with the taffeta.
The bodice portions show lines of Irish
point insertion and alternating rows of
ratcheted tuCkinG, with a fichu of the lace,
finished with long stole ends that fall over
half the length of the dress skirt. =
Other handsome house gowns are made of
the pale shades of ladies' cloth. but these
soil much easier and are much harder to
be cleaned than the soft. beautiful French
cashmeros. which are decidedly less eXpen-
sive and at the same time form a charm
ing background for the dainty fancy laces,
emhrCideries and paSsementeries that are
now to be bought as decided bargains from
remnants LETT over from the recent autumn
sales

EVIDENCE OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY.
Striking Statistics On Production and
importation OF Iron and Steel.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

RtFIIDIN ET|lVINb
Washington. Dec. Ga striking evidence
Of business activity in the United States at
the present time is found in a comparison of
pig iron statistics of ;ho year Just ending
with those of earlier yeas, as compiled by
the Treasury Bureau OF Statistics.
Recently published estimates of the pro-
duction of pig iron in the United States dur
ing the calendar year 1902 put the total pro-
duction at Ii. 900 tons. This is an in
crease of nearly two million tons over last
year, and is more than double the produc-
ton of 1885, three times that of 1856. four
times that of 1881. SIX times that of 1879.
1872. and twenty times that of 1865.
The steel production of the year is esti-
mated at 100000 tons, which is practically
so per cent more than that Of 1900, nearly
three times as much as that Of 1896 ten
