que shows itself all the way around.
When it is SO full that 1t ripples, a
smart little fashion touch Is given by
lining it with some rather dashing
color.
Light weight broadcloths. cheviots
and those fine tightly-t twisted mixed
suitings that men held first mortgage
on for years are among the first cloths
to be made up, partly because Of their
beauty, but mostly because they're no
staple. Styles are extremely varied.
Ever since the keynote of individuality
-of constant change-was struck a
couple of years ago, designers and
dress artists have been producing a
hundred styles to one of other years.
Walking suits lead, but walking suits
that are idealized in comparison to the
ones we have known. Odd touches have
crept in from almost every period of
history that has left it's mark upon
fashions Sometimes two or three per-
iOds meet in a single suit-but, instead
of seeming homogeneous, add little
bizarre charm that is permissible only
In dress.
Skirts show a decided tendency to-
ward greater fullness; yet skirts with
an intermediate number of pleates hold
the lines well down to the knees are
equally good. Directoire styles lend
the tiny waistcoats that add a little
mannish air, that in turn Is softened
by the wholly feminine lines Of the At

on each side, and turned back cuffs,
with the buttons repeated on them,
echo the Directoire note again, while
the quaint surplice style Of dress, as
old-fashioned as the hills. is developed

Fashionable underwear has not vet
adopted the 1880 modes. In spite of the
voluminous outside skirt, petticoats,
chemise and drawers are still as scant
and well-fitted as in the days OF the
eel skirt. when a single ruffle, or puff |

within would mar an outline that Diff

There is some change, however for
the newest underwear all shows the
circular cut. 1t is carefully fitted at
the waist and hips, begins to widen at
the knees and flares out into decided
fullness at the feet. BY the circular cut
lingerie meets the emergency of the
new very full skirt without loosing the I
graceful outline that has been SO noti-

past.
Nightgowns and dressing sacques al
so have the circular outline, ana sleeves
are cut to flare. and corset covers too,
except that the flare at the top. It not
only gives fulness at the right place.

The ESSENTIAL thing in the modernl
making of underwear is that it should
