Landscape Costumes.

A landscape costume is a novelty made of soft silk with a pattern upon It It looks as if copied from an ancient Japanese print, and, though the design is vague, anyone possessed of imagination can see a tree and bukh, a. fringed pond bank, a house and horizon. Such silks are made up into what Is called the wrapper or “uncut” skirt, which consists of two straight lengths of very soft fine material, gathered Into the waistband, looking rather full, but not bulky, about the hips, and falling in at the ankles* where It must be Invisibly weighted.
