measure, bow to the dictum of Dame
Fashion, the best houses are making a
number of fine models in taffeta.
For the new idea in trimming the
bodice OF any costume is as though a

inches below the shoulder.
Trimmed the skirt must be. In ITS
simplest form this skirt trimming CON
from the knee down, which has been
known during the last winter season
as the jupe religieuse or nuns skirt
Then there are the double skirts. the
upper one reaching to the knee, and
falling in quite severe lines over the
underskirt, which partakes of the same
character as the upper one both as to
trimming and cut.
In the soft satin liberty and crepe de
chine are noted some interesting in
novations with regard to skirt trim
ming. These have the narrow, pradu
ated panel front. edged with a quill
ing or ruching of the same material or
lace. The rest OF the skirt is laid In
the nuns folds, or trimmed with lace
medallions surrounded by interlacine
of ruchings.
Still another method of trimming in
vogue, especially in the light cloth
skirts, is the skirt top, giving q yoke
effect that is very pleasing and attrac-
tive.
The predominating idea as regards
sleeves is ruffies. The top of the sleeve
continues to be fat The sleeve NAV
be composed Of series of rufI1es. or ii
may be only the ruffie from just below
the elbow and reaching to the wrist.
And this ruffied style for the sleeve Ia
not confined alone to the costume made
of soft fabrics, but is well expressed
in simple gown.
The poke hat with strings is the
natural and artistic accompaniment OF
the 1880 fashions. 1t is extreme style
and a trife too eccentric unless sub
iected to decided modification for any
considerable acceptance in this coun-
try. 1t is very bewitching to see a
woman with a big white hat trimmed
with pink roses and tied with pink rib
bons. but the American woman, as a
rule. prefers to see the other woman
wearing such conspicuous article.

the shade required in this chiffon, or,
indeed, in any lace, silk or other fabric,
one has but to send goods and sam
pie of the desired color to a reputabls
dyer. There was never a time when
so much special dyeing was ordered by
the dressmakers. and the satisfactory
results are a tribute to the skill of the
modern dyers.
Handworlt of any and of every kind
is lavished upon these dressy blouses.
Fagoting, embroidery, tucking, shir-
ring, shocking, inset lace designs, all
play their part, and the ubiquitous
bouillonee figures as conspicuously
here as elsewhere in the new modes.
While the details offer great variety,
the general lines of the blouse are
trifle monotonous.
If, as is true in the majority of cases.
blouse must be fitted for wear under
a coat, the deep berthe and other
shoulder draperies are out of the ques-
ton. Most attractive blouses owning
such features are offered, and for house
wear are charming enough; but once
crammed into even an ample coat
sleeve, they lose their freshness.
The long shoulder line must be
achieved in some fashion. so the blouse
maker resorts to a deep yoke of lace
or handworl1 running down low over
the shoulders and cut round, pointed
front and back, or shaped irregularly.
The juncture of yoke and blouse and
sleeves is hidden by trimming, and the
| full sleeves have cuffs corresponding to
the yoke.
AS has been said before, this yoke
blouse varies widely in detail. The
| yoke may be entirely of narrow bias
bands and fagotings and inset medal
lions or circles filed with lace stitches,
and the same open work may reappear
upon the body of the blouse.
Or, more easily made, and very fash
ionable at the moment, is the yoke OF
all-over lace on which are set scroll
patterns in the narrowest of bouillo-
nees, wider bouillonee or possibly
one in the same width covering the
union between yoke and blouse.

SWISS CITIZENSHIP.
How the Native Born Can BE Re.
Iieyed of His Military
Duties.

The vast number of Swiss watch
makers who have taken up their abode
in this country will no doubt be inter
ested, says the jewelers. Circular in
the following warning to Swiss-Amer-
leans returning to Switzerland, by
Consul A. Lieberknecht, Zurich, Swift
erland:
The attention of students and 9TH
ers intending to remain for any length
of time in Switzerland is called to the
necessity of providing themselves with
passports. Many naturalized American
citizens labor under a misrepresentation
as to their old and new citizenship
rights and responsibilities. They re-
turn to Switzerland with naturaliza-
ton papers or passports, only to find
themselves Swiss citizens again.
In this country person never
loses his citizenship, no matter how
long he may absent himself, unless he
goes through certain necessary formal
tiles. If he returns and is owing a
military tax, he is compelled to pay
tAe same in spite of the fact that he is
an American citizen. The only way
10 be released from old responsible
ties is by making written request to
his home community for such release,
submitting proof at the same time that
he has acquired American citizenship.

Talk as we will the separate blouse
is with us to stay. 1t passes through
many changes, and the modistes have
done all in/their power at different
times to drive it from the realm OF
possibility of the well-dressed woman,
but without success.
The latest vogue in connection with
blouses is to have them match the skirt
in color, and many made along this
line will be seen during the spring and
summer.
| Handsome white blouses are, to be
sure, still worn with skirts of various
colors and are SO useful that women
are loath to give them up, but they are
no longer considered distinctly smart
unless worn with a white skirt.
The same thing may be said of the
delicate blue, pink, yellow and cham
payne colored blouses which, in eX-
travagantly elaborate form, appear in
the shop windows. They are charming,
and worn with skirt to match they
would be most desirable for house
wear; but worn with skirts to which
| Ln0y nave no u6UnlJe relation I0eY are
not according to the latest laws of
| fashion.
They are very suggestive, however,
these exquisite blouses, and If they do
not happen to fill the want left by ones
coat and skirt costume they may at
least give one the idea for blouses that
may be made in the right colors and
materials.
Chiffon, mousseline, lace and all the
new silks are called into service by the
blouse makers. Chiffon velvet and the
very fine cloths, such as drap ideal,
which is hardly heavier than silk, are
also used for handsome blouses but,
naturally enough, are not SO much in
demand for spring and summer wear
as they have been throughout the win
| ter.
The heavy grades of chiffon, known
as chiffon cloths, are excellent blouse
materials, for, though omparatively
light and sheer, they are really dura-

as yet entered the official mind, and
that pestilence has not made there its
abiding home is proof of a benefice1t
Providence. During the writer's So
journ some years ago it was not an
unusual occurrence for the agile
leopard (Korea's most common wild
fowl') to scale one of the walls, and
entering the nearest house, carry off a
child in the darkness. To-day how
ever, we have changed all that; but
Seyool's greatest need, from western
point of view, is still decent hotel.
The native dwelling house is an i'm
possibility to all but a salamander.
The flooring in moss cases, is COM
posed of neatly-jointed fat stones,
over which mats are laid. Underneath
is a hollow space, in which firewood is
laid in bundles and lighted. The paper
doors are then slid into their grooves,
excluding all air, and soon you find
yourself in a Turkish bath. The av-
erage newcomer only tries it once.
The Koreans have far keener sense
of humor than the Chinese or the Hin
doc They are more kindly disposed to
the poor, and more ready to help them
than are the Japanese. But in child
ish superstition Of every conceivable
kind the Cho-Senese have few, if any,
rivals. The religion is largely Sha-
manism; serpents, as in India, are
reverently worshiped, and the country
is overrun by astrologers, magicians
and fortune tellers.
