length of the skirt you may include
in your wardrobe short trotteur
lengths and skirts with serpent trains.
Although much liberty Of taste is al
lowed in the present styles, there are
certain points upon which Nine. la
Mode insists. Bouffancy is cut off from
the list of things as they ought to
be-" And even where there is skirt
fullness it must be of the limpest
kind that in no way detracts from the
fashionable straight line. The shoulder
and arm lines. too. must be sharply
defined. and sleeves for the moment are
long, although the summer may bring
in the three-quarter manche. So you
easily see that in the new models there
are no radical dfvergences from the
rules modistes have been following
during the past season. There are,
however, plenty of new fashion ideas,
but they concern themselves with mat.
tiers of color, material, and detail rather
than line.

The sleeveless coat Is a warm-weath-

nothing practical about this model, for

this gown are most elegant so. though it

handsome braids and rich buttons. In
