is quite likely that this one is made in
two pieces, with the skirt and chiffon
bodice attached to short under
waist. The skirt overlaps at the front
The tunic is apparently fastened al
the left side and attached to the bod
ice. The girdle is boned and IL of soft
satin, lined in irregular pleats. Cir
dies are, almost without exception
made in colors contrasting with thai
used in the body of the gown. Some
times girdle is in several colors
those in plaid of bright tones being
favored for plain cloth gowns. An.
| other development of the always pres.
ent girdle shows silk in three colors
laid in pleats, making a three-toned
girdle. Certain it is that, in the man.
agement of the waist line, our present
modes are the most artistic, the most
easy and graceful of any that lie with,
in the memory of the women of our
country.
The study of a gown of as great ar.
sistic value as this one should involve
that of the dressing of the feet and
the arrangement of the coiffure, be-
cause both these matters should enter
into the consideration of dressy cos.
tune at any time. Satin slippers In
black with rhinestone buckles, and
silk hosiery of the color of the gown
take care of the clothing of the feet
appropriately.
The coiffure is one OF those designs
classified as the "casque' style, in
which all the hair is waved 1t is ar.
ranged over the head like a turban.
There is no .chignon at the back. The
ends of the hair are turned under the
waves and spread about in such way
as to dispense with coil.
In cutting a gown of this character
wide goods are more easily managed
than narrow. Skirts, overlapping at
the front, while narrow, give room for
easy walking because the front seam
Is not joined down to the bottom. The
under petticoat must be soft; the most
clinging of fabrics, as chiffon or crepe
de chine, or lace. An inserted flounce
will take the place OF a petticoat.
Anything heavy enough to interfere
with the falling of the skirt in close
and clinging lines would destroy an
important item in the beauty 'of the
design. 1t is the hang and, not fit OF
garments which is of paramount Inn
portance now. The figure, without dis.
tortion of any sort, without restraint,
but In the lovely, natural silhouette,
is glorified in present day styles,
which really amount to cleve-ly ar.
ranged drapery. Garments must not
shape the figure today; they must be
shaped by it, or appear to be. anyway.
Hence SO many gowns seem to be do
signed for the corsetless figure.
