A feature of these costumes is the original cut of the skirt. Some of them are quite straight; others show a circular dip'on the

The simple little afternoon frocks which have been hidden away under fur coats and heavy cloth ones up till quite ro cently, are now to be seen peeping out from under wilk coats or

Frocks such as these, destined only for wear at informal functions, are plain, straight and plentifully pleated, the finest of pleata only being used. Fancy silks aro employed more than any other materials, with a plain silk in a dominating shade form- ing a border, and, perhaps, a sash as a meant of trimming Sleeves are quite short in the more original types of frocks, but long and clinging clely to the rm in the mor
