BLOOMERS RETURN.
Bloomers which acquired their name from a Mrs. Bloomer, an American pioneer of rational dress, have reappeared in a dress salon abroad, as essential to the latest skating en-, semblos. Scarlet bloomers, for example, just tip the knees beneath the short hemline of a frock in sage green, which also has its belt and other accessories in scarlet. Bolero jackets go with skirts and blouses as well as frocks, and for evening gowns they are often of the squared box type, with long sleeves, and crocheted in silks of vivid colours. Maincocher is bringing in again the rustling taffetas petticoat, though its "frou, frou" is said in a softer tone than it was in Edwardian days.
