B 'X •i(*4.1 A very handsome sleet costume made of blue cloth is shown below. The blouse waist is tucked, with slightly overlapping front and opens ovf r a chemisette of white chiffon. The blouse sleeve is also tucked and between the tucks is a trimming of applique taffeta of graduated size framed with crochet rings worked with dark blue Corticelli crochet silk. A similar garniture appears on the panel front of trie skirt, the latter being completed with a corded flounce, and above the flounce at the sides are more lengthwise tucks. Picturesque ■ ffects are the rule and are in evidence on sides, and flowered si ks, flowered mousselines and gor geously flowered parasols greet the eye everywhere. Jn fancy, at lea«t. the pages of fa-hion have turned backward to the flower designs once so much io vogue. <>o the whole the trend of dress at the moment is toward greater elegance reaching out in all directions. The dainty mousselines in small patterns with wide and nar row borders of large flowers are in great demand. The woman who must wear any dress she has for a lor g time is care ful never to f-elect what is striking, and prefers that her’ tont ensemble” shall be distinguished for elegance or fit and finish and harmony of color rather than richness or expense. In looking over fashion illustrations, somebody sees a good looking dress for the ideal woman, and ninety-nine out of every one hundred dresses are made from it in all sizes. In most cases the design while all right for the large woman or for the small woman is all wrong for the woman who is the other extreme in size. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Mrs. Johnson, of Charlotte, is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Lynch.
