These are joined ab bhe hips as shown. In bhis model the revers and pockets are of thick corded silk, the same shade of grey as the fine cloth of which the jackeb is made, edged with silver passementerie and fastened by small silver or steel bubbons.
Girls over twelve are wearing fche fashion able basques with open fronts and long added basques. These are worn with ornamental chemisette or waistcoat with long basques and with plain or pleated skirts.
A new colour is pinetfci, a yellowish green. Though somewhat daring, ib has been adopted by those who dress well. This makes up beautifully for evening wear. I saw bwo lovely dresses in this shade ab a court dressmaker's the obher day. One was of fche new broch- inter laced ribbons on a ground of shot silk. The ribbons are exquisitely shaded where bhey pleat and fold around each other.
The third illustration is the other of the two dresses mentioned. This was also an evening gown, the skirt and bodice composed of pale pimrose silk, edged round with falling chiffon to match. The bodice was rather long, and had a double frill of chiffon, interspersed every here and there wibh pale green grasses. The same grass mixed with the chiffon round the skirt. The tout ensemble had a very charming effect.
