The Waist Line.

An Indication of present fashions is that the waist line will In many cases be Indicated by a narrow belt of the old-fashioned sort which one has ceased to associate in one’s mind with smart dressing. In very many of the newest gowns the waist is emphasized and in its normal place. As a rule,the belt corresponds with the other trimmings of the gown, but this Is not Insisted upon, and sometimes it has no connection with It at ail, but belongs wholly to the must abused region of the fancy belt Thus a striped gown has its narrow belt of folded brocade tissue, and an afternoon frock which was carried out in pompadour silk emphasised Its possession ot a waist by circling it with a band of stiff, straight ribbon.
