things, the Partisan fills in the detail ac-
cording to the customer-or rs-...c., ac-.
cording to his idea of what the customer
can best carry to bring out her better
points to advantage. This is a sixth
sense which seems to be innate and in
herent in the French character, and is,
no doubt, the reason why the women of
every nationality under the sun trust them
blindly in! the matter of clothes.
In the ebb and flow of fashions those,
which the spring produces-for the advent
Of spring is several weeks earlier in
France than in these United States-are
always of marked interest These herald
forth the fashions of the summer time,
when outdoor life is the preferred Of So
ciety, and when the costumes worn are
matters of much care and comment
A representative spring style is illus
trated in little tailormade costume
which shows a Jacket coming just over the
curve Of the hips and is adapted from the
later Louis XVI. period, opening with
broad revers over q vest Of white cloth
braided in gold and fastening with linked
buttons at the waistline. En- PEASANT, the
waistline in all of the new models dips
quite a little in front, the slope from the
back and along the sides being accom-
plished gradually. There is somewhat of a
reaction from the excessively full sleeve
in this: but it is not at all surprising when
one remembers that the French tailors
seldom subscribe to the exaggerations of
style which the dressmakers take up with
such enthusiasm.
The skirt Of this gown, however, shows
the trend Of present fashions very clearly
in the extra fulness which distinguishes
| it from below the knee. The fit over the
hips is smooth and the requisite fulness
at the hem is cleverly manipulated in a
circular cut, and with an irregularly
shaped circular founce which is attached
invisibly beneath a braiding Of soutache
and gold.
Flip Jokes and tablier fronts are another
favored method of solving the question of
tight fit over the hip and wide flare at the
foot, without which no skirt can assume
to be even cousin-german to the newer
mode. This IS especially pretty in the
short Elton, which is beloved Of the slender
Parisienne.
So much for the severer styles of the
tailor made, and now to the dressier mod
els, those which are the veritable French
tailor-made. This season the English and
the French taiors are at odds as to the
cloths which shall be said to rule. the
former holding for the shaggy goods

while the French favor the smooth faced
cloths or those which show a silky surface
with self-color plaid or stripe woven in
tight pebble. OF these the satin-faced
cloths, the siciliennes, draps d'ete and sim
liar weaves are preferred; and the shay
gier mixtures, especially those which sug-
gest the zibelines, are banished for the
nonce, whether to return orr hot who can
say?
+ For costumes of all sorts, from the in
formal shirt waist suit to the ball Enwn,
silks are the, preferred expression o. the
season. Perhaps of these taffetas are the
more universal choice, and two most ex-
cellent models are submitted herewith.
The one will answer for all outdoor Dur-
poses, either as a calling, carriage or gen.
eral toilette, while the other is Of more
formal design and better adapted to indoor
uses, 5

The other gown is strikingly different,

Escantily shirred, lengthwise straps of silk
