PARIS. June IS.
TnAT the feminine silhouette is
changing. and that rapidly, can
not he denied. Yesterday every
one seemed exaggeratedly tall
md slender: to-day the same people
.eem TO have put on flesh; tomorrow
uomen will be enveloped in fiounces and
full skirts.
AT the present moment the feminine
sllhouette Is a thing of rare beauty. 1t
IA graceful and natural: in the major
nv OF cases IL is not eccentric or ex-
ssserated. But we shall not be allowed
N pa,ise at this desirable moment. FASH
i'm marches on and on and the wor-
shlppers OF fashion are obliged to fol-
! low
Some Of the new founced skirts, in
black or white lace, are exceedingly
quaint They are short and the flounces
as a rule reach from waist to hem.
Then in the more exclusive models the
corage Is tight. with very short ell
blow sleeves, and a folded sash circles
| the waist.
need hardly point out that this Is
peculiar style Of dress for grown up
women. 1t Is practically the party dress
Of a girl OF IL or IA. Very much the
sane thing may be said OF the taffeta
gowns which have exceedingly short
tight. skirts and voluminous tunes
which reach to within q few inches of
the skirt hem.
These costumes also have, more often
than not. tight corsages in tho 1880
style and the waist Is circled by an i'm
portant looking sash. Sashes of all
kinds continue to be the rage OF the
hour and they are arranged in a variety
Aof ways. twisted around the waist, In
Achoolgirl fashion: wound round the
hips la Fatima: passed round waist
and hips and then drawn very tight
after the manner of mummy draperies.
Elaborate sashes are to be found on all
sorts Of dresses; those for day and eve
ming wear alike. All the genuine 1880
models are accompanied by handsome
sashes and these are generally passed
round the waist, drawn forward and
then tied loosely at one side.
In the two new millinery models
sketched this week you have a strong
contrast. One represents the delightful.
wide brimmed picture hat which is so
generally becoming; the other IL an ex-
aggerated 1880 model. This latter style
Is in great favor in Paris this summer.
II Is high and narrow, and to be quite
correct 1t ought to be worn far down
ION the head.
The pictureS(At, a earlier model. IA
covered with black satin and the
effective horsehair mount IL black and
white. Horsehair mounts In all colors
are now very popular. The metallic
models, which show tints OF purple or
green, are specially pretty, but the
Parislennes remain faithful to their love
OF maybe tints.
The 1880 hat is OF the sugar loaf
order. The model was made in black
and white rice straw and the high
lows. standing erect in front. were in
black and white velvet. These bows
were very cleverly arranged; they
looked like gigantic pansies.
One OF the most popular 1880 models
Of the present season Is the hat
trimmed with a high cluster OF flowers
placed right in front OF the high crown
These hats are as a rule made OF two
kinds OF straw. one being used as a
lining. In black and white they are
charming, as they are in navy blue with
! lining OF dark crimson chip, &c.
At the moment there are two styles OF
hats in the front rank of popular favor
the wide brimmed picture hat, which
seems like a glorified sailor shape, and
the high crowned 1880 model. OF course
there are a hundred and one other
