! The modes and fashions in women
| dress this year tend to accentuate the
feminine more than any time within
| the past ten years. Tailored clothes
are less in vogue than at any time
since they first began to be worn. The
filmy, clinging garments are best
| this sseason. The great cause for
thanks in the styles of the
day is the absence of unnatural
protuberances and humps. Big sleeves,
bustles, hoops, are banished The pan
niers now worn are Of soft material
and follow, instead of distort, the lines
of the figure, which are searchingly
sought out. The tendency women show
to attire themselves in a minimum of
civilized garments and to appear as
nearly possible like the ancient mod
els, is further emphasized by the fact
that the ''dernier cri'' is the corsetless
girl.
This simplicity in appearance is
heightened by the plainness of the
couture. The hair is no longer waved
or dressed with pompadours and puffs
and curls, and there are no more combs
and pins used to dress it than are
necessary. But those who would be of
the ultra fashionable type this year
must be slender, young and blooming,
and even that variety of woman must
be careful not to carry the mode to
extremes, and lay herself liable to the
description Picksmith wrote of one of
that kind, beginning: Little girl, you
are so small-Don't you wear no clothes
at ALL" One of these same little girls
recently appeared at party with the
thinnest of clinging gowns, and when
side of the chandelier. MY word! 1t
