Worh with these skirts are bodices
which cut off straight around the
waist-iine in the old-time basque
style. Sometimes they are corded on
the edge. The sleeves were some Of
them very long, and others short and
puffy. The line of the low necks OF
these b0dices are long over the
shoulders exposing the tips of them in
the fashion one sees in daguerreo-
types. Others, where they are not
wanted so law are finished with a
fichu of the same material which is
draped around the shoulders giving
the long line of the shoulders but
showing only thew of the neck.
Another crinoline type is the dress
with many flounced or ruffled skirt.
This last with wreaths of tiny roses
woven among the ruffles and possibly
carelessly catching one up is most
| fascinating style for an evening frock,
Especially for the girl of 1.-the and
slender lines.
The trim short basque buttoning
straight up the front, and ending at
the waistline, except for two short
points below, is very smart when worn
with the full skirt. The illustration
is model which shows an idea of an
American designer. The yoke and
front panel of the skirt are in one,
while the fullness is placed at the
side in wide side pleats. thus giving
the smart outline of the winter, a
flatness front and back and flaring
at the sides.
Fur is used extensively as trimming
on the winter frocks. 1t is put around
the bottom of tunics and skirts, at the
lower edge of the cuffs and around the
necks of suits, dresses and separate
coats. Fur is soft, but scarcely be-

Quires something to give bit of coll
or, so the artificial flower was placed,
usually at the neck, and 10! 1t made
the fur vastly becoming.
The flower, whether artificial or
natural, is most important accessory
of woman's toilette this season. The
corsage bouquets of violets are always
good, but the very smartest and new
est thing in the way of natural flow
ers is to have them made into tiny
stiff bouquet. like those pictured in
the days of our grandmothers. Stiffly
packed together, rising in the center
and surrounded by a stiff frill of pa
per lace.
In the artificial flowers this same
