FULL SKIRTS WORN.
On the other hand full skirts and draped
girdles have taken the younger contingent
by storm. AT charming wedding In green
and white the bridesmaids all wore palest
green Liberty silk over white. The skirts
were shirred at the belt In several rows.
Round the lower portions Of each were three
slightly full frills, approximately Ave inches
wide, gathered to form a narrow heading.
with tiny green silk cord over the gathers.
Between these were arranged sprays Of chif-
fon roses in pink pale 10 be only

style with unlined Jokes OF white chiffon
and lace and berthas, formed by gathered
frills, that were extended over the sleeves.
which were in elbow length and entirely
composed OF frills mounted on chiffon AT
each waist was a deep, draped belt OF flow
cred silk, showing palest green and pink on
white ground. The effect was dainty and
attractive. and the deep belts suited the
young figures TO perfection, but neverthe-
less are they TO be looked with question
Our progenitors Of 1880 were willing to resort
to extremes in order to obtain the small
waists I'm vogue. When nature proved un-
kind then corsets, tightly laced, were en-
ployed. The twentieth-century woman Is
active, athletic, healthful She will no more
consent to bind her muscles as her great
grandmother did than she Will surrender
her golf and her tennis, her long walks and
her skating parties. If she be slender and
her waist round she will wear these repro
auctions and revel therein, but she knows
better than TO injure her health in the in
terest of even the most alluring gown, and
she will demand other things TO M the need.
Fringe makes a noticeable feature OF the
season and forms the finish of numberless
versal on the neck scarfs and pelerines OF
fur. Chenille appears TO be given first
place. but heavy silk cords are seen and
tassels OF many sorts. An exceedingly ef-
fectiye as well as novel gown includes
skirt of soft silk entirely covered with rows
of wide chenille fringe in champagne color.

yoke and the sleeve caps Is a band OF gold
tinuous lines In waist and sleeves that
mean fashionable breadth. Some OF the
most beautiful OF all the pelerines shown
combine lace with fur and are edged with
fringe. Also many handsome coats show a
fringe finish. An evening coat Of white
cloth is made with a cape and long stole
chenille fringe. coat for street or
carriage wear is Of finest, softest
brown cloth, with a similar coll
fringe in brown silk. One of the daintiest
little pelerines have seen Is In genuine 1880
style. worn well down over the shoulders
Irish chochet with white chiffon and mole
skin and Is finished with chenille fringe
matching the fur at its ends. Fur scarfs
are so finished and capes OF fur and OF lace
show fringe OF one sort or another In pref
erence TO everything else. In the case OF
lace 1T is Of silk and is knotted into the
drens garments give evidence Of the FASH
ion. One of the smartest little coats for a
girl OF ten that have seen is made OF cas-
tor colored cloth and II trimmed with bands
OF silk embroidered in blended colors and
silk fringe with deep knotted heading
The cape Is peculiar and is cut TO form
succession OF tabs between which the
spaces are filled with the knotted heading
Of the fringe cut to form points that exact

Braids and landings are many and are
exceptionally handsome. A novelty is
Persian lamb braid that is shown in black
and in white, both plain and with touches
of color The material is woven of mohair
and resembles lamb sufficient TO warrant
Some of the black and white mixtures are
exceedingly handsome. and the better ones
with color give most satisfactory effect.
In some instances this last is plain. In
others mixed to suggest Oriental methods

bands in which bits OF its own color were
