that is a climax in art, surely the
designer of the modern costume de-
serves the laurel wreath. for the up

statuesque Grecian vase. These mar

waistlines are still high, and are

or little fringed sashes if the figure
is very slender; or the skirt and

simple piping if the figure is inclin-
ed to stoutness, or again one sees
some June-like creature encircling
her tunic at the waist with a classic
cord and dangling tassels. So skill

insure this perfect fit that they give
the impression that milady wears

ing such a costume over bunchy OF
ill-fitting undergarments. As a mat

modelled after the human form, and
exactly on the same lines. Such wo-
men will not even use their jacket
pockets for fear of presenting un-
slightly 'bulges" on those classoc
curves However, they will dangle a
reticule by long ribbons just as the
olden-time Greenaway girls do in the
pictures.

is quite noticeable in the newer skirt
designs.
In the first illustration the design
presented is a costume of unusually
smart style. suitable for morning or
afternoon wear.
The waist, which was cut in one
with the sleeves, had a box-pleat
prettily arranged across each shulder.
The yoke effect in front was a novel
and attractive feature Of design. The
skirt had a yoke effect heightened by
a straight box-pleated fionnce, and
was made Of bordered material. This
costume, while of excellent style, was
still of such simple construction that
i. might be safely attempted by the
amateur sewer. The material used
was black and white challie, piped
with that popular and up-to-date
color, coral" making the combina-
ton a simple but striking costume.
In the line Of accessories, hand en-
broidery still marks the exclusive
model, but there are many clever
quick ways to get such an effect. For
instance, Persian touches" though
used universally. are used with great
restraint, applied mostly in waist
fronts, in every original and fanciful
