"She really didn't know which to

little more than a week ago she told

The Correct sIope

Ine D1rectoire robes need to be
cunningly fashioned with a tight
foundation, to have the loose folds
shape in to the figure and at the
waistline and reveal the swell of the
hip There is very little difference
between the Directoire and Empire
robes, save in the detail The Direct
ORE has the swathing bands that
come below the bust and draw the
robe in to the figure, and the sleeves
are of elbow length, whereas the So
called Empire has shorter sleeves,
and the bands of the bodice come
above or across the top of the bust,
and do not draw the folds beneath
into the form.
The princess robe, as dinstinguish-
ed from these, is tight-f1tting, but in
all there is the unbroken line from
the bust to the floor. The terms en-
plre princess and princess are suffi-
cient for practical purposes to differ
entiate them.

New Muns.

The fad for half-length Jacket
sleeves has given rise to a decidedly
novel shape in muffs intended to keen
not only the hands warm, but the
lower part Of the arms as well. These
are distinctly novelty, and practical,
for they really fit the shape of the
arms when hands are clasped.
Life other muffs of the season these
are fiat, but they are cut with a seam
In the middle and SO joined that the
TWO parts meet at an angle. This per
mits of the hands being thrust deem
into them without bending the muffs
and the length of the fur is such that
it reaches to the elbows or to the be-
ginning of the sleeves. This, of course.
keeps the arms quite warm.
Without exception these are trimmed
with fringe of tails or pendants for
the shape is thin in order not to make
the arms look large and fringe is
needed to make the proportion good.
