ej Details of To-Days Styles Gulled from a Century of Fashions

In the mad rush to bs strictly up to
date and the desire of some women to
keep a little ahead of the styles. If pos
sible, few stop to think what a solid and
substantial foundation for styles must"
have been established years and years
ago, for they have never been entirely
abandoned,
Take, for instance, the hoop skirts as
shown In "When Johnny Comes March
ing Home." A dozen different designs In
skirts, but all held out like a balloon by
their enormous hP skirts.
How near annroach this stvle onlv
a few seasons back, when skirts were cut j
circular, measuring five and six yards
around the bottom, and stiffened out with
wide facings or haircloth.
While not exactly conforming to hoop
skirts, the "old-time" puff sleeve was ex
aggerated by adding Ave or bIx more
yards of material and then cramming
them full of fiber chaniojs-to be sure they
would "stick out."
It Is not so many years ago since waists
buttoned up tbe back came into almost
instant popularity. This style carries us
back into the forties, and even earlier
than that. 1
While much improved in the fitting of
the waist and hanging of the skirt, yet
the Princess gowns of to-day are founded
on the old-time gowns of this descrip
tion. Even In the matter of shoes, the very
latest design offered this spring, the "Uu
barry Tie, takes us back Into the thir
ties, when the fashionable shoes had a
Beam from point to toe- to top of boot,
with elastlo ribbon In the sides.
True, credit must be given to the
modern designer for greatly Improving
the style, but not for originating It.
In the fashion books of 1S3() can be seen
skirts and waists shirred full and cord
ed. This style is extremely .popular this
summer for the wash China silk gowns
and thin mulls and moussullncs.
In "Pretty Peggy" Miss Grave Oeorge
gives a glimpse of old-time gowns that
are truly delightful.
These costumes caVry one 'back to the

especially is tnts true of her flrnt act
town. The little panlores over, the hips

days whnn a skirt was not considered at
all in style unless It were trimmed In this
lasnion, ana the girl of twenty-five to
day can well remember that period.

Ah! the good old times, where are they ont
Out of the Past, that land of haze,
Comes to my ear a on:-e-kuown song:
I see the cafes with lights ablaze. .
Students drinking, a phantom throng
Answer! y ghosts of a dream now done.
Comrades of mine, where are ye gone?
"Rome are living and some ar dead,
Some still follow the dream of Art,
Some who with you have-broaen bread
Died long since of a broken heart.
What say'st thou thr' on the bridge alojw?
The good, old tlnii-s? Ah! they are gone."
Out of ihe tVnl trie day departs,
Stars on stars o'er the Seine arise.
