ODD CUIR4SS DRESS.
An Extremely Ne7r Idea,
Which Nay or Mag Not LiUe.

The dress here shown seems 20 be
compromise between the cuirass dress and
the present costume. The tight. long
basque and the full plain skirt suggest
the former, while the bodice also looks ike
a PEASANTS girdle. and the skirt certainly
resembles a srnock- It is extremely
new conception, about which no one would
care to prophesy.
Gowns for morning wear are becoming
more and more simple. even reverting at
times 10 the older shirtwaist suit with
collars and cuffs of fine lawn The guimpes
and yokes on these costumes are becoming
smaller, but are still essential. An attrac-
tive way Of making up dark dresses is to
