There was no time yesterday when

Origin Of Garments Worn In the
Island Empire.

Nearly every woman nowadays
cherishes a Japanese gown for house
wear without realizing how interest
ing a garment 1t Is. The sleeves them
selves have a curious history. From
the middle Of. the sixteenth century
they began to increase in length. and.
especially those for young ladies. have
extended till now they are from three
to four feet. This style, known as
furisode, became very fashionable.
The width of the obi, or sash. has
also varied. at first from two and a
half to three and a half inches, and
to six, seven, eight and nine inches.
1t Is interesting to note that our
own new fashions In sleeves and
sashes originated among the common
people of Japan, and from them were
finally adopted by the upper classes.
The young ladies of the Samuri class
we're the first to follow the popular
styles In this respect. and the higher
classes began to follow suit, until now
these fashions prevail everywhere.
It Is only from about the middle OF
the seventh century that the women
of the lower classes began to wear
the long haor1, or overcoat, at present
so common among all classes of both
sexes. This garment was originally a
duster worn by men to protect theiI
clothes when outdoors. and was ther
called dofuku. or travelling coat
Finally they came to be worn In
doors. and the women adopted The
garment The upper classes in time
followed the same custom. and now
the haori is an indispensable part o
| the clothing to be worn on formal oc
| casions, even in summer.

NEWEST IDEAS IN GIRDLES


The newest girdles are made OF
rope. bead. metal, fabric and chenille.
The latter are particularly we'll liked.
as are also those made of pierced
metal pieces run with ribbon and OBJ
tainable in assorted colors. There
are also those made of colored pyroxy-
lin, ribbon laced. These pyroxylin
girdles. while extremely light in
weight, have an effect similar to the
heavier metal ones Another of this
class of girdle is the heavy linked
chain or metal rope. made in either
gilt, silver or oxidized.
Due TO the great popularity OF cord
girdles. there have been manufactured
special ornamental pins in plain and
chased effects. also set with colored
stones, intended for use as fastening
for the girdles in place of a knot, be
ing both practical and ornamental
and at the same time eliminating the
knot tying wear on the girdle.
