a wiry feel that few ever really liked
it. The mohair now is shown in all
the syndicate cOlors, and many street
suits are made of it, with all the at
tention to detail shown in the finest
broadcloth. The cream colored mo,
hairs are really beautiful when made
up and trimmed with yellowish lace
Some pretty waists are made by hav-
ing Bulgarian embroidery set along the
folds and cuffs, and the funny little tab
collars have the tabs wrought in this
stitch. When the waist is white or q
very light color and the embroidery
is done i'll black and red or dark blue
the result is very unique and artistic.
One pretty design in mohair waist
for young lady is of the palest blue,
almost white. This is laid in seven
folds in front and five in the back
These are not stitched on the edges,
but are left open like the slot seams
Arranged as yoke across the Shout
ders is fine black brussels net this, by
the way, is much used in the new
a pretty design of white renaissance
lace. Across this again are drawn lines
of black ribbon, each end finished off
with loop and button.
Another very neat and attractive
waist is of ashen gray mohair, soft.
but shining like the richest silk This
has a plastron front, opening at the
left side and fastening with frogs and
loops of black silk. A band of black
silk guipure lace is used to trim the
sleeves and the collar, but the cuffs
are ornamented only by two frogs and
loops. | saw this copied in handsome
fine albatross cloth and also in French
broadcloth. French twilled flannel, in
| a delicate frosty blue, has been also
used to produce the same design. 1t is
pretty in all.
A waist which is as we'll adapted for
| separate use or as part of a suit is that
| shown in the illustration It is made of
the new crapelike stuff which is SO
we'll liked by all. This stuff is made in
an admixture Of colors, and these are
| made into stripes by the crinkle in the
| weave. 1t reminds one of the deeply
crinkled india grapes. The colors in
| the waists are so closely brought to-
| gether that the whole is like reseda.
| There is a yoke in front made of moss
| green velvet, the edges are bOrdered
with bias band Of silk to match, and
| this is studded with small silk buttons.
| The bishop sleeves have deep cuffs
| trimmed to match the border of the
waist. This is peculiarly girlish waist
and pretty besides.
The very thin waists bid fair to sur
pass any yet seen in point of beauty
| Such daintiness in workmanship and
fancy is hard to imagine. Fine lace in
| sertions and edgings may give an idea
| of the material used, but one must
really see the exquisite arrangement Of
the medallions and crossbars of lace
as arranged along the front to appreci-
ate their delicate beauty. The way the
lace is treated is such that no matter
| how fine it is it will be easy to launder.
/ A fine batiste waist trimmed with its
complement of lace is so sheer that it
will require corset waist almost as
delicately fashioned. The linen batistes
show such a bewildering array of en-
broidered tracings that no one could
describe them all. The mode for all
white waists is certainly greater than
! ever before. Each new maker must
| ina CINE something new, and we get a
marvellous variety. The shapes vary
from the old French bodice form to the
pronounced blouse. The Gibson waist
is among the things of the past, as few
i care for them now
