The Paramount Waist.

The waist, thep. being paramount
we will say a few words about it. In
the first place, it is shown in every poS-
sible kind of material and form. JUST
now the silks and velutinas have il
but there are enough washable ones
offered or making to encircle the globe,
l verify believe. The best liked style
is the plain one with plaits made large
or small as the wearer's individual
taste may dictate. The inch wide
plat extending from shoulder to waist
is the neatest and is the easiest to iron,
and for that reason the waist made in
this way gives the best satisfaction i'll
the long run. Dotted swiss is very
pretty and is suitable for the young,
and in the picture it will be seen that
over the shoulders Of the wearer is the
revived suspender effect. The sus-
penders are made of black velvet. Lace
forms the cuffs and collar. Another
waist shows how several tucks may be
laid from shoulder to waist in clusters.
The rest is finished in regular shirt
waist design. Another one shows an
application of white butcher linen
over a polka dotted waist Large white
pearl buttons finish it, Still another
has yoke of lace with tab down the
front, to which is shirred pale blue
india silk. The sleeves are plain leg O.
mutton, with a hanging cuff of the
lace. With this is worn a folded belt
of pale blue taffeta.
French lingerie waists with the
fronts hand embroidered. some will
lace as insertion and edging, are es
pecially elegant. Some very desirable
ones are made of handkerchief linen
with old fashioned eyelet embroidery
There are many styles in oriental ne
and other lace waists, some made ovel
colored taffeta rud others with white
i 1t would be impossible to do this sub
| ject justice, but this much may be
/ said-the white wash waists and tn,
| figured percales and batistes and othel
cottons, madras, ginghams and The
thousand and one other pretty and use
| full fabrics offered are all cheap anC
pretty as well as fast In color.

THE NEWEST WAISTS.
All Tint Is Novel Concerning This I'm
portant and Interesting Subject.

We scarcely know "whcre we are
at" in the way Of the styles, for in
some places we find directoire suits
of the most glaring colors. richest of
materials and daring of shapes-dar-
ing, for in these suits we may find n
leg O. mutton sleeve and Il first en-
pire waist, with still enough of the
directoire form to he saving grace.
A hounce does not by right belong to
that. but we may find not one, but two
or three and several other caprices
which seem to the iconoclast of Il
dressmaker so pretty that she adds
them, and the whole is called direc-
toire. The coat, however, is always in
evidence and has something about it
reminiscent of drectoire days, and so
long as the women are satisfied it is ali
right Then. just as we begin to get
it into our heads that the style men
toned above is to be the vogue, to the
exclusion Of everything else, we come
