OUR PARIS LETTER.
Every woman should desire to dress
fm a manner suitable to the style of her
face, her figure and her temperament,
bat in order to do this there are many
her close attention,
ways strive to be an expre:sion of char-
acter, and the time will come when
through a correct understanding of its
subtle laws it will be so considered.
Colors, materials, personal likes and
dislikes. intuitions, ete., all enter into
this study which, however, must be
undertaken by each individual on her
own behalf, as few modistes are will |
ing to devote the time and patience |
necessary to make an art study of each
of their patrons, There is nothing
which gives a woman greater satisfac.
tion than a neat, well fitting gown, a
becoming hat or faultless gloves. The
knowledge of having understood and
followed the fashion, and at the same
time having succeeded in creating 8 |
costume ‘‘not common,” is the pride
of every well dressed woman.
At present not many checked or
striped woolen goods are seen, but
rather plain colors. The jacket or
bodice of wool gowns is ornamented
with a long sash, but variations are
formed in the shape of blouses, chemi-
rettes and short fronts, Belts form a
very important part and are seen
sound and pointed, of yellow, brown,
and black leather, trimmed with small
flowers or stars of steel. Very elegant
