Draped Bodice Becomes All.

The draped bodice is undoubtedly
"the thing" 1t is as becoming to the
too full as well as to the too thin fig
ure. 1t brings out the waist line. and
its folds'across the bust may easily be
arranged so as to greatly increase the
apparent size of the fiat figure, while
by using little material and drawing
it close the exuberant figure can be
held down firmly and appear of the
perfect middle size.
The average American figures lack
both bust and hips, but the fashions
of to-day are kind toward these de-
fciencies. and the plated, shirred, and
yoked skirts can easily be made to
render the figure apparently fuller at
the hips, and these. together with the
draped bodices, are vastly improving
the appearance OF many women.

that cunning offenders could be long

The raps correspond regularly with
rho letters of the alphabet, which is
Rriar ged for the purpose into six rows,

the row in which the letter Is to be

after slight pause, show the number
Of the letter in the row. At first the
table must be kept in mind but after
a little practice the prisoner is en-

satiny liberty silk in delicate pink.

for a bal masque II the fair wearer

not at all loud and none too Snowy for

fiounce effect Each flounce is cut out
in petal shape around the edge and
between these petals another petal OF
palest pink chiffon is introduced. The
petals are edged with tiny pink sequins
and the veinings are done in glisten-

the elbow sleeves and the pretty
blouse bodice is likewise formed Of
three overlapping sections, those like
