There are yokes on everything short
yokes and yokes long enough to meet
the corselet skirt; but, one way or an
other, blouse and even outside wrap
must be cut up by gimp or the simu-
lation thereof. The fancy waist here
pictured seems to us most attractive,
graceful and latest mode. All-over
lace is used for the upper part, the
lower portion is Of soft messaline, a
shade darker than the lightweight
cloth skirt with which worn. The
sleeves come well above the elbow and
band Of trimming encircles the arm,
giving full puff at the shoulder. The
collar is quite high, a point To note
with this new style of blouse. In the
street gown suggested, the princess
coat is so cut up by trimming as to
give the appearance Of a bolero. The
sleeves are very short, disclosing a
puff Of lingerie between coat cuff and
long glove.
Speaking Of short sleeves for the
street, have you seen the economical
silk wristlet an enterpriSinS dealer
has put forth? 1t is merely a long
glove without covering for the hands,
wrinkles its way from elbow to wrist,
where it is met by the real glove. One
