Deny it as ancient ladies may, there is a point, de- fined every day by affectionate husbands, Toying. brothers, and ted lovers, with an encircling arm, which forms a natural division of the dress of a woman. ‘The waist is one and the skirt is ‘ano- ther. No ange! should ever deform a waist--no point behind, or point before. ‘The rounded outline above and below «the natural point of cincture should be fully preserved, and no contrivance has ever done ‘ig well as the basque. Besides, 1€ gives an opportunity for any required contrast or harmony in the skirt, stopping stripes at the point where they ought to stop, and breaking up, econom izing. distributing and individu- abzing charms thet were else contained in the folds of a uniform—a broad, long: monotoasus waste of silk, merino, mus- Un, and calico.—Springfield Republican.
