LATEST TOUCH OF FASHION

Tight, Pointed Silk Bodice, With Voluminous Organdie Bkirt, Is One of the Season's Successes. Marie Tempest was among the first women to adopt the tight, pointed silk bodice with the voluminous organdie skirt. This fashion has gained followers ever since ih« exploited it. Women have found in the fashion a reversal from the commonplace that pleases them. Even if one has a large waist, this tight bodice does not disclose it in an unattractive manner, for- the, significant artistic reason that ft dips itself into the outstanding drapery of the gkirt. It is slightly pointed in front.

and often at the back, or the entire lower edge is cut into battlements —a touch of the Elizabethan era that was brought out with the Sir Walter Raleigh ruff, the queen’s farthingale, and the Amy Robsart sleeve.
