ST CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER Having had C ate ih b and contractin to render building, will mation, All Phone 169 ONE-PIECE dress, with a skirt having a long Russian tunic, is | shown here as an unusually good model for the slender and immature figure of the nearly grown girl. This dress {s designed for the corsetiess figure and leaves nothing to be de- sired as a model for the miss who is finishing her school days. The skirt is set on to the bodice and has a high walist line. The bodice is supported by a light underwaist and thus the weight of the garmert is hung from the shoulders as well as the hips. Firmly woven light-weight serges and other close weaves are appropriate for this dress. Supple materials that fall gracefully are the best choice for the costume. There is an under petticoat, of lin- ing, with a wide border of the material at the bottom. This straight-hanging skirt is cut to instep length and of ample width to insure perfect freedom in walking. The tunic is laid in box- plaits at the sides and back, with a straight panel at the front. The plaits are stitched down to the swell of the hips and fall free from there to the bottom. The panel is finished with a row of small covered buttons at each Costumes for NE can find enough of the things every week to write a f sized volume on late fashions. times the makers of fashions take just one idea and develop it to such an ex- tent that it takes column after col- umn of newspaper space to describe the variations that have been rung in upon that idea Take the ruffled skirt, f When the minaret tunic w duced it was a shock becat new air or instance. first intrc B women d oF fashion had of fashion had g the straight line from hip to ankle that the cutting in half of the figure did not suit at all.

Even when it is no longer necessary that not a crease or fold in underwear shall show through a clinging, scant frock, the value of carefully fitted un- derwear may still bo appreciated. Women have legrned how to do away with clumsy and unnecessary fullness around waist and hips. Charming combination garments have been ‘evolved which are in no way extreme. For the moment the underskirt adapted to the narrow skirt still holds sway. Only in the shops of the fash- fonable corsetieres does one hear much talk of coming innovations in undergarments. For wear over the corsets there are combinations of many types.
