For some time we have noticed the
inclination to arrange all fullness and
drapcry ut the back of the skirt, leav-
ing the front more or less plain; this
began no doubt, with the revival OF the
hustle. 1t is pleasing and becoming
especially To slender figures.
This ide;. is illustrated effectively in
s404; it il u plain black taffeta gown
with yoked bodice and draped over
skirt. The drapery is arranged in pulls
ut the back. An inset vest OF crisp,
white organdy affords the proper relief
and the broad satin girt''e lends On
effective contrast to the dull finish OF
the taffetn. This frock may be copied
