LATEST PARISIAN FASHIONS
According to a French paper to hand, th© skirt and bodice of the latest gown are still in on© piece; but the waist-line is normal and well defined by a belt or trimming, Th© same long close-fitting corsets are "ip"; for the skirts, though draped in style, munt lie closely round tho hips. The draplngs resemble old-fashioned Sanniersi only instead of curbing round re hips they fall right down the sides. Slenderness is still the only figure. Queer little tied-in trains are on all the afternoon and evening frocks. Cloaks are long, but tho outdoor dresses worn under them are short to th© verge of showing tho ankles. They are tied in from th© heels, as it were, and tho new fashion has created a new walk. The French woman now walks like a Japanese girl. A very short time ago the panther-lik© glide was the elegant woman's aim. To-day, according to this journal, she reminds one of a doll on rollers. Rice paper, upon which the Chinese do such charming drawings, is a thin sheet of the prepared pith of a tree.
