The Pannier Frock and the New
Tie-On Blouse
As if in opposition to the “falling-off" gown told of on this
page, fashion sends us the “tie-on" blouse.
There’s a lot of dash about it—a lot of comfort and a great
deal of convenience. It has no kooks, no eyes, no buttons. no
fains, no belt.
The picture shows how it looks when it is tied on. Posi
tively the cleverest thing on fashion's market today,

I wonder what will be the next article
of masculine attire to receive the flattery
of imitation from Dame Fashion and her
feminine followers? We are already wear
ing—and looking particularly weli in—a
fairly realistic copy of the men’s bowler
hat. and now you must know that the very
latest skirt is upheld— to all appearance,
at any rate —over a white shirt by tneana
of a pair of braces!
Every little detail of these hitherto es
sentially and exclusively masculine prop
erties has been copied, though, to be sure,
the materials are somewhat more decora
tive than those ordinarily used for the
purpose. As to the effect—well, you shall
have to judge for yourself, for I will g|v«

for the making of the masculine nether
garments, though after all this, and with
the entire inconsequence which is a de
lightful characteristic of so many feminine
creatures and fashionable creations, the
coat which completes the toilette owes
nothing whatever to the Inspiration of the
attire of the stronger, or, at any
sterner sex. For this is just a bewitching
and short-basqued affair of soft mauve
charmeuse, with borderings and pipings
of the ordinary and brighter make of
satin. Well, how do you-like the idea?
It is certainly original, and also it has
this in Its favor that it makes the break
between skirt and blouse of a different
color and material less sudden, and,
therefore, more becoming to the figure
than when each is complete in Itself and
Independent of the other. Os course, the
idea of shoulder-straps continued from the
skirt is not in itself a novelty, but this
is the very first time that they have been
attached and made in exactly the same
way as men’s braces- But it will not, I
fancy, be the last I
Another new "note” Is the abbreviated
coat, which is really an elongated bolero,
and is of the rather drooping, almost
dowdy, shapelessness, which, if rightly
cut and worn, can be the essence of chio,
and will, indeed, be thus accounted, when
neext season's productions have made this
chaneg of contour more familiar. I am
sending you a picture of the new coatee
as worn with a draped dress of equal nov
elty, so that you may learn to know (t,
and I hope to love it also. These shorter
garments are generally—as in the case of
P l9tured model—made with sleeves
which Just cover the elbow, but the shap

them hesitate between submitting to the

Another typical example of these ad
