What New Workers Are Wearing and
What They Will Soon Be
Wearing,

Wearing,
One thing is ctrtain-ihin waists
are simply going to be cit" all
Winter. l told you so recently;
here repeatit. And, very conyen-
lent thing it is, for wash waists OF
every style and fabric and embellish-
men,, are selling of for the ,radl
onal song One of the favorites,
for trimming white blouses, is open
weave Cluny lace. Frequently, two
kinds of lace appear on one bodice.
Up 10 date evening bodices follow
the figure closely. The sleeves are
short merely puff Of some airy
fabric, or of the dress material, or
of fine lace. Ladies with very fine
shoulder lines affect sleeves separate
from the shoulder straps, and de-
pending below them.
Lace and ribbons seem to be
pressed into service at every turn of
the modistic way Hats simply
bristle with the richest ribbons.
Even the toes Of MiladPs dainty
slippers are be ribboned. Val and
Cluuy lace and white null unite i'm
one Of the prettiest fchus imagin-
able, being folded to form bretelles
The revival Of close fitting styles
brings the question of appropriate
oorsetting right TO the front. And,
of course, the appropriate corset is
the X. * G.. This corset appears
in guises Of universal accommoda-
ton. The makers thereof have
taken cognisance OF The fact that all
women are not built upon one pat
tern, and have provided tor in
dividual shapes accordingly. Every
town and hamlet, no matter how
small or remote, has its dry goods
store; and most every store sells the
X & G.. corset, because the demand
for it is universal. Every dry goods
store and every small one i'm every
large city, specializes this make,
bee ause they know its excellence for
wearing and selling; and also
because their lady customers require
them to handle it.. The makers
have immense wholesale establish.
ments in New York, Boston, Chi.
cago and San Francisco. and are
likely to open branches in other
large cities. 1t is the leading corset
OF all civilized countries, practically.
and is woman's kindest and most
sustaining and beautifying friend.
Lace wells are revived. Long
Spanish scarves profusely drape the
brim Of large hats. White net wells
are popular, especially those coy
cred with small black dots set close
together and embroidered on the
outside.
The smartest parasols are OF en-
broidered white linen trimmed with
medallions of Val or Irish point
lace, set between every two ribs Of
the frame, in the centre. Fine um
brellas come in colors as we'll as in
black, and have notable handles,
such as the heads Of horses, dogs,
cats, and rabbits. Some extra
choice ones show tortoise shell and
amber handles, upon which initials
or the monogram may bc engraved,
in small gold letters, thus adding to
their distinguished appearance while
rendering them less OF a bait for
"borrowers," sub rosa.

Of wash silk; soft, dainty and in
beautiful colorings. Itfnds charm
