TT is surprising how completely the
 faring tunic holds its place. Un-
 doubtedly the full skirts are making their way, but the tunics are enlinently graceful and becoming, really ad- mirable in line and in effect and con- tinuc to be worn by the most fashion able women. These two costumes have been designed for young girls and they are excellent for the late season and for between-season wear. Goats are short and designed after the most approved fashion, and the tunics over the narrow skirts are so becoming that we will see them for a long time to come. Incidentally, these costumes are real boons to the home dressmaker for neither one of them requires any special skill The blouse coat shown on the left is one that is no more trouble to make than a blouse for it is really just that garment finished with revers and joined to wide belt The tunic is quite simple laid in flat plsits at the side and the skirt Is just in two pieces. The materials shown here are silk wool novelty with velvet and the colcr is the soft chestnut brown with tan that always is hand so,ne, but broadcioth would be beauti- iui made in this way or poplin could be used or silk and wool eponge or indeed any suit;ng material. Most girls will have the skirt made of lining material and faced only with the velvet, both for reasons of economy and to reduce the weight, consequently not much velvet will be required. The second costume is made from one of the fashionable rough cloths with just little velvet on the collar. The belt can be arranged over the fronts or under them, but it is utilized at the back to regulate the fuIlness which is laid in one plait at each side. The skirt is in two pieces and. the tunic is circular and the circular coat always gives pretty folds and pretty ripples. If a combination of materials is wanted the skirt could be made of velvet to match the collar or the suit would be pretty for immediate wear made of broadcloth with one of the fur plushes facing the skirt and making the collar and cuffs. Whatever the material. the lines will always remain good and smart, and after all. it is the cut and the lines that mean the distinction of any garment.
 The tunic is SO long that there is really no need for an entire under skirt of material and all of the best dressmakers use lining silk or one of the mercerized fabrics as may be. facing the lower edge to the required deDth.

IN THE REALM OF FASHION
 By MAY MANTON =.

This season we shall wear dinner gowns that combine long sleeves with open necks. The little sleeveless over- bodice makes a most attractive gar niture and shows the very newest and prettiest lines. The full trnic s straight at its lower edge; conse- quently it could be made of ACuncing and if it is draped little and held by bunch of artificial flowers pretty effect is obtained and one SO essentially different from the straight banded t,inic as hardly to suggest the same model. When the tunic hangs straight and free, it is desirable that it should be weighted in some way to accentuate the flare but, when it is draped, it may fall in soft folds
 A FTERNOON costumes never "A were prettier than they are
 this winter. Skirts have de- veloped into very graceful and attract i've creations just wide enough for combined comfort and smartness and the new materials are wonderfully beautiful. The basque idea has de- veloped in many ways and the blouse or bodice that is finished over in place of under the skirt has become the ac- cepted one. Also there is a general tendency toward a higher neck finish. The basque can be made of charmellse satin with velvet, but Eroadcloth has come into its own this season and IS always beautiful in contrast either with silk or with velvet. Poplin also is pretty in contrast with velvet. and crepes retain all their favor.
 Whether the sleeves shall match 1t or the vest is entirely matter for the individual to decide.

From Within Fortress of PrZemysl
 Miss Bly Writes For Americans

(The following correspondence was the last Miss Nellie Ely, special cor respondent of the International News Service in Austria, wrote berore leav- ingthe fortress of 'przemysl, which s now ringed by an iron wall of Rus sians)

The coffee house would not be called warm any where but in Galacia. l don't know whether it is warmed by the porcv- lain stove in the corner or by the crowd.

 Everybody, as well as the melodies must come here for his breakfast. Nothing can be had in the hotels. One after the other, officers hang up their coats and mantles and swords. Each must be his own hatboy. They sit on a lounge by a table and the passive. uninterested miniature parsonage who condecends to take the order gazes with dull an duninterested eyes at his victim, and says:

Fordyce that Robert Lea had passed away, many of the white citizens called up the home by phone, and expressed their sympathy to the wid- ow, and offered to do anything that she might want to comfort her.
