GETTING “PEG-TOP” EFFECT

New Model of Taffeta Shows How the Desired Result Is Possible of Achievement.

When the flounced gown first came back, a few months since, it managed to keep quite flat by permitting no fulness in the flounces. It is very different now, for there is plenty of fulness in all of them, but chief!# in the one immediately below the waist. A new model of, this kind is in green taffeta with seven flounces on the skirt and an eighth formed by the basque of the body, very full and fluffy. The bodice opens in a deep square, outlined by narrow black velvet, which is tied in a bow at the waist with long, flying ends. The throat is bare, a Medici collar rising at the back. . A flounced gown for evening wear is made of silk crepon in a delicate tone of mauve, with a deep belt of mauve, pale blue and silver broche. The skirt is of the peg-top order, and is wide enough at the hem to admit of dancing comfortably. The peg-top effect is produced by three flounces between hips and knees.
