OUR PARIS LETTER,
Of a truth, the straight full gowns
have ceased to exist, and there is to be
seen at present only the clinging skirts
but in an infinite variety of styles,
Some modistes have brought out the
old fashioned skirt with points, a style
especially successful. All the breadths
are cut on the bias; those of the front
out bias on each side, with a width of
294 inches, then come two points of
about £0 inches in width which make
in all five breadths, inclnding the two
back breadths which are joined mn the
centre by a biss seam. These skirts
are extremely desirable not being too
clinging. Those made like an umbrella
have the breadihs bias on each side,
and joined by » very namrrrow open-
work inscrtion-lhike points, This effect
is very desirable, especially when the
insertion 18 used in the centre of the
front. Gowns of gauze, muslin, in
fact all light cowns made in this
style. Speaking of robesof giuze we
will deseribe a gown that we have geen
in the rooms of a leading modiste, It
is of black ANZ embroidered Ww th
litle dots of all colors, The umbrella
shaped skirt was finished by very small
open-worked points with insertion to
match, The bodice was completed by

has never seen so many light gowns as
are worn this season, a fact due, large-

weather that we have had.
