THE TREND OF FASHION,.
Exaggerated Sleeves and Wide skirts
Are Among the Latest No
tions in Dress.

Skirts grow fuller and sleeves grow
larger as the season progresses, aud III
truth many of the present fashions are
50 exaggerated that the rumors ol COM
plete change and return to marked SIM
plcity--to close-clinging skirts ana
tight sleeves--seem not improOaOlc,
says Harper's Bazaar II may be re-
membered that whenever any fashion
assumes such point of eXaggeration as
to be ludicrous that is the time
change is near at hand. For the mo-
ment, however, sleeves with one two,
and even three puffs are fashionable
and skirts of such width as TO re-
quire not only the aid of featherbone,
but stiff foundation in drop-skirt, to
prevent a most ugly appearance.
Wide pointed bodices. wide both back
and front or much wider in front than
in the back, are worn by both stout
and slender women. This fashion is
not so impossible for stout figures as
might be supposed, for the long line gives
the same effect as did the straight front.
OF course, though, for an unusually large
waist the belt of uniform narrow plaite
is always the best
Taffeta gowns are included in the
summer outfit. and although taffeta is
not a cool facric. there are some quail
ties quite possible, even for warm
weather, and the tnlined lace yoke and
elbow sleeves make great difference.
All the old-fashioned bright shades of
color are fashionable-apple green, shy
blue, rose pink and cherry red, such as
were in style so many, many years ago
and are made up in many of the same
styles. The full skirts plated. tucked
| or gathered at the sides and back. with
! tucks and ruChings are worn with full

between the veterans and the ladies
is not known, but a majority of the

own.
This predicament is much regretted

that the differences Will be settled an6
that all will join in together ana make
