ABOUT LACINo

Do not leave too wide an opening be.
tween the lacers-this means too small
corset, which will ruin the backs Of
your gown. Never draw the lacers close
together across the shoulders. but leave
the corset-back just comfortably loose
SO that the flesh is not pushed up and
left to droop over. Never draw in the
back Of your corset below the waist
line too tightly or that inevitable roll
Of flesh will appear below the corset.
Your back and the back of your corset
now seem TO be on perfectly good terms,
but you have not yet sat down; there
must be perfect comfort sitting as well
as standing. In the event of the lower
bones interfering in tie least with q
sitting posture, d necessary portion Of
them should be cut off. If the bones
at the top Of the back are In the least
pointed SO that they appear at all
through the. gown. they too should be
shipped off
All Of this rests with your filter, and
II any part of the corset could prove
the necessity for a fitting instead of
trusting TO luck, the back of the corset
is that part.
The subtle modelling TO which I re-
ferred will be of little avail If the back
itself has not been fitted to the wearer.

complement And to make the delightful

are of suede, and trimmed with buttons
OF crystal or mother-of pearl. Just at
present they are made like golf vests, so
that they extend all the way round the

will only be fastened to the front OF the
coat.
Velvet In Paris Is quite the favorite
material of the season for semi tailored
suits. and rib velvets are also very much
used
In some of the newest gowns designed
by the great artists fringe forms a very
large part. and sometimes 1t is fastened
on the edge of lace.
