DRESS HINTS FOR

A SUGGESTION of 1890 styles is seen
"A in the dancing frocks for debutantes.
A succession of soft fiounces sometimes
extends from the waist to the skirt edge.
Some of the dresses adhering more close
ly to the straight line have fiounces made
of wide lace or chiffon. Small princess

still allow the edge of the ruffies to give
a suggestion OF fuliness.
Draped fichus. short ruff1ed sleeves and
soft ribbon girdles. or sashes with long
ends having a small crushed bow at the
waist, are some of the finishing touches
used.
The frocks of charmeuse or crepe de
chine often show six or eight small ruff
f1es finished off at the edge In scaliop
fashion, sometimes a narrow lace edgfng
being used under the ruffies. The more
simple styles have this effect simulated.

dainty and so tiny in these new boots,
however, that women will be sure to
cling to the style tenaciously. once it
is established in popular favor.
White boots in the street seem a bit
striking to the unsophisticated eye,
but the fashion is really rather a
charming one. and, provided the boots
are kept daintily white and spotless,
there seems no good reason why
women should not affect them with
street costumes, as well as the staid
and soberer black footgear. These
pretty white boots for winter wear
are not of canvas, like the summer
sort, but of white buckskin, with soles
and heels of russell leather, and the
buttons are usually Of white pearl.

flowers or figures it is wise to first set
the color by soaking it in a solution
of strong, cold salt water, allowing it to
soak for two hours. Drop the dress into
the soapsuds and let it soak for a time,

rubbed it will be pulled out of shape
