Coming Fashions.

It is pretty certain that fashions
are ending toward more grace. Coats
are more voluminous and skirt draper
les simple and graceful. The hustle
is shrinking into nothingness. Nate
rails, however, are to be more gor-
geous than ever and more expensive
Short sleeves are not often seen. The
longer the sleeves are the smarter
they are, and they must fit tightly
around the wrist and come down to
the knuckles.
Scshes are more prominent than,
ever, and are swathed around the hips
and knotted very low down, and often
at the back. Waistcoats are no long
er stiff garments topped by, a collar
and tie. They have become limp and
charming simplicities of white pique
or satin, and even fine lawn, ending
in two long points set far apart and
well below the waist.
