New COrsetr:y Features.

All corsets now, as well as gowns,
must be fitted with the wearer stand
ing and sitting. The corset Of today
takes care with perfect satisfaction
of every portion of the figure with
the possible exception Of the limbs.
Some Of the corset models are slit or
either side Of the front steel, tht
skirt over the hips and legs being
long and fastened with garters. Other
models are slit in the back and fas-
tened with fanged garters, which will
spread when seated. Another idea
is shown with a gasset Of silk elastic
on either side, which allows the skirts
of the corset to spread. In all the
spring models the bust is lower with
as little spread as possible, the waist
should be round, the hips straight
front and back straight, and there
should be no evidence Of the abdomen.

Hints About Shirtwaist Styles
and Shirtwasit Making at Home

Any woman will attempt the max
ing of shirtwaist, but by no means
any woman can produce a wearable
garment. The fault is, not so much
that Of tailoring as of fitting; and
yet it can hardly be called fitting,
either when so many home seamtres-
SeS will conscientiously follow the
pattern Of their bust measure. and
let it 90 at that. And, even where
some sort Of adjustment is tried,
there are plenty Of places where a
word Of advice would come handy. It
is well worth knowing where to make
alterations so as not to disturb the
style Of the pattern. The lines of the
neck and arm size should never be
cut close to the pattern, for there are
places where frequently alterations
must be made.
Collars are often hard to fit be
cause the neck has been cut out tno
mach. To adjust the collar properly
to the neck, the waist should be tried
on and the neck, which has been cut
too high, clipped little by little, and
gently stretched until it settles into
place without wrinkle. Then the
collar may be pinned about the neck,
fitted comfortably and smoothly, and
its lower edge carefully tackled to the
waist neck. The very best collars are
straight strips of material, curved
gradually at the top to measure one.

in the back than in the front. It is
possible to fit these straight collars
smoothly, provided the waist is cut
high enough in tire neck. \ collar

upon to bring about the desired
humpy appearance great balls and
buttons of straw are distributed over
the hat to help out the effect Of eccen-
tricity. But milliners are agreed un-
animously Y that the shape is becoming
and chic. This particular hat when
seen in perfection shades the face
right down to the eyes. It is not un-
duly large, and it is quite round in its
normal state, with its curved brim
Of straw or plated lace or ribbon sup
porting a full crown. But there are
others.
It is an undoubted fact that these
exaggerated "chopping bowl" hats
are not every woman's wear. At a
smart Fifth avenue establishment I
saw two hats of the kind just describ-
ed. One Of these might possibly have
been called "cloche,'' but the de-
scription would not be correct, for it
was just an inverted bowl. The brim
was Of closely plated cream lace and
the full crown Of black spotted tulle
over a gold tissure. The second hat
was still more bowl-like, with a huge
crown of coarse straw and border
Of roses all round the brim. The only
other trimming was a wide band of
black velvet ribbon, which was care
lessly twisted about the crown and
then knotted at the back, the ends
falling over the back of the dress.
Now, if you don't Like the "ehop-
ping bowl" and are young and pretty
enough, there is for you a bonnet
shape-cabriolet, it is called-in
which you can lose your identity 50
completely that your nearest relative
would not recognize you in it unless
he got a full view of your face.
These confections are like the old
fashioned bonnets Of long ago and
frame the face in the same coal scut-
tie style, but the model droops so low
at, the back of the head that the hair
and neck are concealed. The new
bonnet has fascinating strings of tulle
qr ribbon that are brought from
the back and tied in a full bow under
the chin.
A delightful cabriolet shape shown
me at another shop was Of soft, pill
able fancy straw in a light tan shade.
The straw braid was seantily plated
about the face, and under the brim
was a frill of lace. The principal
trimming was Of plated lace that
made the fluffy crown, around which
were bouquets of tiny rosebuds and
forgetmenots placed in a prim little
row. The ties on this bonnet were Of

TO be of the prescribed slimness
and to assume the general outline of
the season, means only to get the cor
rect corset and to don it as every
woman can. She has way, femln-
inc, fascinating way, of absorbing a
fashion and in the corsets women
have designed models that make any
figure conform with the present-day
fashion. CorSetieres have had a
thrilling year, and an opportunity to
give free reign to their inspiration.
All sorts Of experiments have been
made in the interests. Of the Direc-
toire or even the tube figure, and
while the hips have been savagely at
tackled, the new models as a whole
have tended toward comfort, for a
decrease in numbers Of bones and
steels has marked the experiment,
many Of the Smartest French models
being so lightly boned that they al
low surprisingly free play to the : so
muscles. The straight front line has
allowed waist expansion, and models
opening in front or without stiff
front steels have given the digestive
organs more than usual chance to full
fill their functions. But whether or
not a woman goes in for corset eX-
tremes, as illustrated in bonings and
fastenings, she at least has been fore
ed to adopt the long corset If she at
temps to wear the fashionable frocks.
A short corset tightly drawn around
the hips, and consequently showing
a roll of flesh where it ends, or cor
set whose heavy lower edge makes a
line around the hips where the dress
skirt clings most smoothly, is out of
the question. The corset bones must,
perforce. stop short of the comfort
line, but the corset material, skillfuIlv
cut and fitted. is continued Quite.past
the hip curve. Sometimes the length
is exaggerated. sometimes it IS rea-
sonable: but in any event it passes
the curve of the hips and its lower
line is lost in the looser folds Of the
dress skirt. This corset must, of
course, be held down smoothly by
several sets Of garters, if it does not,
as in certain French models, merge
into well-fitted knickers. The great
est care must be taken to have the
back lacing adjust the corset smooth
ly, for the back of the Directoire
skirt in a supple material shows a
lumnine$s or heavy line in the under
wear almost as quickly as the hips.
For the reason many corsetlereS urge
the front lace corsetS, whose back
lines may be fitted with perfec!
snoothne>> and remain unchanged.
