bows and streamers, complete this charm
ing costume, which was worn with dainty
Turkish satin shoes.
In 1885 the whole dress Of woman became
centred, as 1t we're, in the leg-of4nutton
sleeve. 1t almost attained the proportions
Of the panniers Of old, and many Of the por-
traits Of that period seem absurd on account
OF this feature of the gowns. Illustrated
in one Of the large pictures Is one OF these
eccentric creations in spotted muslin.
The low cue bodice is entireiy hidden no-
meath white embroidered muslin pelerine,
which fits snugly over the shoulders and
flares stiffly over the huge sleeves confined
in bands at the wrist The long tabs Of the
pelerine are held to the waist by belt,
below which they fall freely over the full
unadorned skirt. The Leghorn bonnet Il
trimmed with tall white feathers, bows and
streamers tied under the chin.
Here is another costume Of the times,
introducing the fichu, with its deep points
and pendants. The ends are tucked away
in the rather wide waist band. which
encircles the tight fitting bodice, cut
low at the neck and edged with a delicate
border of blond lace. The sleeves are still

French fashions. For instance, in 1877 a
giraffe was sent as gift to Charles Y. by
the Pasha of Egypt.
The presence of this exceedingly rare
animal created a sensation among the
Parisians. For months crowds Of sight

gaze upon its new inmate. Dramatists
immortalized it in their plays, and finally
Fashion adopted it, creating gowns la

that the French woman, with her good sense

curb extravaganza and preserve the har-

Some of the figures illustrated win give
an excellent idea of the 1880 costume which
has been the inspiration Of the last years
fashions.
One gown is made of red cameline silk,
trimmed with blond lace. The bodice,
cut low and tight fitting, is surmounted by
a double frilled bertha of lace, descending
on the shoulders and falling over short
sleeves consisting of a double f1ounce fin
ished with frill OF lace.
The short, full skirt is trimmed at the
lower edge with n founce headed by frills
of lace. Still bows. Of the silk lend quaint
ness to this creation, which was worn with
huge picture hat trimmed with white
plumes red bows and streamers.
These short gowns allowed fair display

Another costume exemplifies the leg-of-

so strong hold on the feminine heart Of
those days. This creation, illustrated in
