success, for they simply do not exist.
Only few years ago women of fashion
were not only uncomfortably tight in the
waist and arms, but they wore stiff,
boned bodices as we'll as hard, armor-
like corset. They wore top-heayy and
weighty hats which could not fail to pro-
duce a headache, and spent hours while
a coiffeur screwed their hair into I'M
compromising, small plaits or sausage
rolls.

of dress and fashion changed all these
absurdities. Nowadays the woman of
fashion wears graceful clothes and be-
coming colorings.
She wears high collar, but not a tight,
stiff one, and above all, she has ample

was kept severely plain, only finished
worn with a very smart cream bodice,
with pelerine collar Of embroidered
linen, disclosing very deep yoke of
heavy cream guipure, fastened just above
swathed waistband of blue taffeta with
two fiat blue silk buttons The sleeves
were rather simple-three stitched plaits
at the back, full just at the elbow, caught
up with four little blue buttons and a tiny
cuff of cream guipure. The collar, by the
way, was edged with narrow silk
fringe.
But our illustrations this time are for
the younger misses, and let us turn to
them for moment. One of the models
shown is intended for girl of 10 or 16
years of age. 1t is a smart little French
model dress, carried out in soft blue
woollen stuff with yoke, undersleeves
and vest OF blue ribbon insertion, con-
necied by white sill; hair-pin stitching.
On either side of the vest in the fron.
there are buttons and loops of tartan silk
The sleeves are also trimmed with loops
and buttons to correspond, while the
skirt is finished with a Killed flounce.
The gown for a younger miss, which
is shown in the illustration, is of brown
and white wooden material and arranged
with tucked front to the bodice and
killed skirt, The bodice is ornamented
very prettily with semi-circular strap
ping of brown velvet and a trimming of
cream insertion, through which narrow
brown velvet ribbons are drawn, and
then finished in front with small gold
buttons. ELLEN oSMONDE.
