For her that can wear II, il is very much
of a favo!ite. The bodice of this model
is an exceptionally good one, is made
of three pieces Of ribbon drawn through
three buckles. II gives the medium high
bust and also the tapering waist. The
sleeves need not be made quite so full,
as there is noticed a tendency to lessen
the size of this important part OF the

that the tendency will harden into a
popular fashion.
The above waist is prettier and more
