As a natural soquence after the unbelted straight modos of last season, one has looked forward
to, and found, a few Empire and Directoire inodols among the new showings. One has also found, howover, that many models along the linos favoured last season are still popular.

the widons difference between them in the matter of colour. A charming morning gown récently designed was of bright Chineso red alpaca The pipad with whito. lines. of the gown ware narrow, clinging woll to the figure, the sloovos fitt- Ing the arms so that they wrinkled in an attractive way, as long kid gloves have a habit of doing whon worn by a woman with protty arms.
