some question of the new styles. Of
course everyone was prepared for the
fuller skirts; but the collars, which al
most covered the mouth, coats with no

are still subjects OF nine days wonder
ment.
A very old fashioned idea which is
forcing its way to the front is the tight
fitting basques, with darts in the front
and three seams in the back. It is
also seen with the semi-ftting front
and a very loose fitting back. One
