which have been much overrated, to my
thinking. In Paris ladies have been so
anxious to display their figures that they
have actually worn tights under their
sheath-like skirts!
The newest skirts are flowing and
wide, either gathered or plated Or full
from the waist, with rows of gauging at
intervals. Plisse 1ounces deep at the
back and narrowing in front. are great
improvement to skirts which need a lit

ers" still hold their ground, and small
flounces are not yet a thing of the past
One of the elaborate models is shown
In the illustration. The skirt is formed
Of four f1ounces, is very full, and gathered
down the front, with an outline of gui-
pure lace. The blouse bodice is similarly
trimmed.

seashore pleasures fall to her share,
here is the scarlet poppy tint delaine or
voile, trimmed with pastilles Of black
velvet showing a disc of white satin; or
the useful but less picturesque tussore

gaugings.
Very smart long travelling coats are
made of white molleton cloth, with a
broad bias stripe Of gray or red. The
linen coats and dust cloaks prove too
cold for seaside wear, and are out of the
question for travelling.

Navy blue cloth coats lined with white

gold braid and gilt buttons are very
smart. Some very pretty travelling
