VARIATIONS OF THE TAILOR-MADE

Although tlio t-ailor-mado has reigned supprcmo this season, stiff, stem lines aro by no means obligatory (says n writer in tho "Sydney Morning Herald"). In fact, there is a decided tendency to "ilufliness, which is likely to. increase as the spring arrives. Tho littlo ruffles, which edge tlio wrists of tho long sleeves also appear at our throats, and very soft and becoming they aro to most faces. They are made of lace, tulle, or chiffon, and have even appeared in tho guiso of the "ruffling" of our childhood's days. According to all forecasts, our necks are to bo very much dressed this year. Everyono will have a ncck swathed in tulle,'ribbon,, or lace, and a bow tied beneath tbe left oar is tho most distinctive note in neck garnituro at present. For tho days which come between tlio real hot weather and tho laying by of furs this new fashion will bo welcome, and let. us hope that'by tho time tho heat is really upon us somo cooler mode will have arrived. In tho meantime the woman whoso wardrobe is limited may produce much variety into her gowns by the different methods in which sho can adorn her tliroat. Thero are so manv different mediums, too, that overyono must find something becoming to her cspcci.il style, which, after all, is the true note in elegant dressing.
