SURE TO FIND FAVOR

PARISIAN FROCK OF REALLY EXQUISITE DESIGN. Model May Be Made Up Into Dresses for All Oeeaelone —Plain Taffetas Probably the Beet Material to U »V Of aU the fetching frocks that Paris has sent over to America for our use during the coming months, none wUI be used so much as the one in this pattern. It appears with the Jacket below the waist line, and also attached in a peplum, as illustrated. - , —■■ >: > These patterns are shown with as little trimming as possible in order that the student of styles may get the full effect of the lines of a dress. Trimming may be applied according to the flgun3; but let me warn you that the way in which it is appUed makes or mars your appearance. Frocks of this sort are made up into dresses for all occasions, but the model is a favorite for afternoon, calling, and for the theater. It is the thing for morning wear about town. The material par excellence for the model is silk, although satin, poplin and bengaline are all Used for afternoon dresses of this sort. The new plain soft taffetas, which are of pure silk and durable as well as supple in fold and graceful in line, are admirable, built in this sort of gown, and trimmed around the skirt with bias folds and with groups of little ruffles or corded shirred bauds. Often the fullness of the skirt is slightly shirred over a cord ’at. the bottom, and this gives a very quaint look to the -dress. Where the skirt is corded and shirred, or ruffled, the same idea must be carried out in the jacket. A little ruffle at the waist line and on the edge of the illustrated

Jacket; the fronts, and above the sleeve cuffs would accompany ruffles on the skirt. Any other skirt trimming would be repeated in the same way. This full gathered skirt is often adapted to plump figures by means of a shirred top from wkjst to hips, and it is also plaited on such figures. * It is a mistake for a plump worn-

an to wear gathers directly from the waist line. This makes her stoutness all the more apparent, while, on the contrary, fullness lower down relieves the impression.—Lillian Young in Washington Star.
