And. indeed, those panels are quite tlie
most graceful feature .sanctioned by
fashion. They tend. to give long, slender
lines. to those who have not that tend
ency in their lingers; in short they are
an ideal camouflage. The dress illus
trated is developed in navy blue serge
with black satin ; a combination of high
esteem in the prevailing dilates of In
mode.
History repeats itself, and I'm sure
fashion does the same. For lo ! the draped
skirt is with us again. The smartest
women in Paris feel increasingly at
home in this graceful adaption of the
long, nurrow, tapering silhoutte. Lu
cile is showing an exceptionally good
looking afternoon dress in gray "and red
brown marquisette, with a collar and
vest of white organdie, and the skirt is

draped up tight on the left. side. The
peg-top is another phase of the draped
skirt which is being shown exteuidvely
just now. This partlculrf style seems
to Imve a saucy individuality about it
which sort of solicits "then defies your
attention. Somehow, one must he piq
