THE PASSING PARADE


held quite closely to the figure. The
size and shape of the panniers vary
with each new model. Sometimes the
greatest length is in front, sometimes
in the back. but usually is given the
effect of length and grace by a back
ward sloping line or by an elongated
effect of drapery. The pannier is ac-
countable, no doubt, for the feather
boned skirt. The pannier falls in grace
full fulness from the waist, and is
topped owe a band of passementerie.
Where this puff occurs the boning is
placed SO that the lines of the drapery
shall fall at exactly the right angle and
present just the grace of sweep re-
quired. Speaking of draperies and pan
niers, did anyone ever see so many
modes of garniture or discover SO many
methods of festooning by means of
passementerie, gewgaws, jet, jewel eff
feets and what not? 1t is quite bar
very skilfully to civilization. The GEM
bination of soft materials, too, is car
ried out with an unusual degree of
novelty. Messaline foundations are
draped with ~overdresses of chiffon of
the same or another shade. and the
latter is charmingly and closely
braided. IT is knotted and draped here
and there under a metal jewel-bedecked
buckle.
A certain imported costume that
presents one of the decided season
types is made up in soft yello wish tan
silk. The corsage fits closely and is
narrowed in at the waist by effects
of narrowed, side pieces and converging
darts and comes to a point in front and
back. From this eorsage the skirt falls
full and only because of its extreme
softness it preserves some semblance
to the straight line so much desired.
It has been suggested that gathers and
the overdresses might destroy the
straight effect. but hat is, so far,
not the case-at least, generally speak
ing. The gown In question, however, is
trimmed-as to skirt, not at alias to
waist, with soft rolling revers or collai
over which falls a soft. spidery lace,
having a straight edge-instead of u
scallop or ornamental finish-and this
seems to blend in with and give char
acter and quaintness to the entire de-
sign.
Following on through the other cos
tumes-for the street and more prac-
tical matters in general-some inter

way" and though every sensible indi-
hopes for a more sensible and be-
coming hat than has in too many cases
fallen to the lot OF woman, still it is not
possible to refrain from pleading for a
good, generous large hat, one with
swing n lines. Never in the history
of feminine headgear has the large hat
of the right kind been unappreefated.
1t Is always becoming and modifying
to the harsher lines of any face. The

Al the same time, a s%plashing and

when Maitland, having left his hosts
