T!ie loose chemise frock worn on the corsetlcss figure has encouraged a freedom of gait, which must be modified to show off to advantage tho efose-fitting sheath which the new fashion demands. Shorter steps, hips well under control, am] more dignity will be required, and these will prepare women for a return to the hobble skirt, which may come in reality instead of now only in effect.
