Much .peculation ha. been rife in Pari
ft to the Una to be adopted In the coming
se.ion for the new dresses. Rumor said a
return to the frills of 1870 was Imminent,
but" no one could speak with certainty,
elnco the leading dressmaker declined to
give the slightest hint as to the sty-la In
preparation. Now, at last, the Pnrls cor-,
respondent of the New York Tribune ha
been by special favor allowed a glance at
the models whluh are to be displayed to
customers from all parts of the world. And
letr.U be said at once that the majority of
gowns will be constructed on empire line.
Entail boleros, clasping the bust closely and
bound to the flgur by folded satin suuhes
or pieces of wondrous embroidery will play
a leading role on both day and evening
dresses. From under this folded sash,
which runs up high at the back, the skirt
wllr' fall In graceful line. Across the
frit of the bodice a good deal of padding
Is jisod to give the straight, square look
t the bust which Is essential for success.
In cloth gowns, of coat and skirt type,
there Is a quaint adaptation of the empire
Idea. The very short bolero of last au
tumn has a loose basque added to It,
Which falls away from the figure beneath
t:e arms and descends to the waist line,
lieiieath this coal the skirt rises high
over the bust, ending sometime with
straps over the shoulder.

Ot blouses there are none. Their place
Is taken by the elegant lace gulmpea which

In women's underwear. Yard upon yard
of the sheerest, softest, most exquisitely
trimmed ruffles and flounces will form the
foundation over which the dainty frocks
will be hung thl year. Nainsook, batiste

terials used, and with them such lace and

been counted extravagant, even for an In

never been seen before thl year, and that

are to be replaced by these filmy cotton
things. ' Among these Is the little French
chemise, which ia now taking the place ot
the vest. It top 1 of lace in form of a
yoke, with shoulder strap that may "show

beyond description. The body Is of the
sheerest mull and the garment about thirty-

The "tailored" pieces, combining two

avoiding surplus material and are marvel
ously trimmed. Th "Ideal" three-piece

woman. The corset cover and short skirt

the necessity of the tight-fitting under

In Omaha Is of sheer India lawn. The cir

Harmony In Color.

are having them replaced by white tape or

the buttoned gown Is still to be had, also
