ADD TO GRACE OF COSTUME

Overskirts, In Moderate Form, Bid Fair to Be a Feature of the Bpring Frocks. While overskirts pure and simple have not yet arrived in such numbers as to be noticeable, the trend in that direction is very evident They are sure to arrive before long. The tunic is becoming more of a drapery every day, and it is very probable that by spring the looped overskirt though called a tunic, will have arrived. This year the tunic is In many instances the most important part of the costume. It Is made all in one piece, cut to swathe the figure, and la a kind of princess made short enough to be fastened up on one side and show the skirt beneath. Skirts may continue to be as tight as they will, but the drapery will cover them and make the ensemble graceful. These tunica for the most part fasten in at one side In the front, one part lapping over the other.
