The dropping shoulder effects and
sweeping outlines are too attractive to
be discarded altogether for modes which
are not so graceful. In fact, it is most
difficult to prophesy correctly as to what
special period will be adopted for the
coming styles. With the contradictory
information received from all sides it is
impossible to arrive at any satisfactory
conclusion.
If one were to judge from the extraor-
binary models which are daily created
and held up for our admiration as being
exact reproductions of the different
periods, it would be necessary to possess
an exceptional knowledge in that line
to be able to recognize them. In one
gown seen recently there were at least
three distinctive styles combined, but
as the dress was within the limits of
good taste, and becoming besides, it
mattered little what period it belonged
to.
Now triple skirt, OF the daglioni of
1885, is hemmed with fringe, while the
