The Way of the Girdle.

A very important feature of this sea-

from mere girdlelike handbag. finished
off with long tasseled strands Of supple
folds wrapped round the figure from bust
to. hips, though, even in this altered and
more important form, the fashion-favored
finish of one huge or two or three small
tassels will probably be added.
1t sometimes happens. indeed, that in
the case of evening gowns the sash prac-
tically forms the corsage, and that above
its encircling folds only a filmy transpar-
ency of chiffon and lace is carried over
the shoulders and continued into the
slight drapery which now serves as
sleeves.
In fact. the chief aim of the fashionable
corsage would seem to be TO make itself
invisible. But while evening gowns are
thus frequently sleeveless. the long glove
fitting sleeve is almost invariably chosen
for day dresses, while. as regards the fin
ishing of the neck, you will practically al
ways find outstanding and lightly wired
frillings Of tulle or lace, or both. franz
