The sleeves of these trult tailor made
gowns are cut plain in coat-sleeve

clear cut and the whole outline of the
suit shows fit and style.

was made with plain circular skirt
just touching the ground, as all the
new new skirts are made. The two
thirds coat was lined to match the
green stripe, and the velvet collar
and cuffs also were green. A jaunty
turban of fine black felt was the hat
worn with this suit, with twist OF
black velvet around the crown, with
three short plumes in darkest green
for trimming.

perfection.
There is mercerized bingham

OF the dresy French waists to be
worn with separate skirts the list is
well nigh inexhaustible. Their own
loveliness makes their popularity.

The Summer will see all dresses
tending to Empire effects, especially
at the waist line, and no waist,

responsible for this, for they do not
favor the pouch front and will surely
cause its downfall.
One Of the latest Of these girdles lis
called the Vatican. This is wide and
high, and at the top of the point in
the back is set a butterfly bow from
which Ions sash ends float almost TO

dresses. Sashes of all description
