It Is Interesting Interest-ing to follow tho trend of fashion each season, to note how surely and completely wo conio to approve of even the most decided chnnga after It has been presented to us In nttras-tlvo nttras-tlvo guise, nt different times nnd on various occnslons. It surely docs seem, too, upon looking back some few years, that each season's changes chang-es are for tho better. For Instance, tho full skirt; how wo nil poo-pooed It when the whisper llrst b,egan to circulate that It was to bo revived, and that our trim, youthful narrow skirt had had Its ilay. Today howev- "' t il HBrMocin Black Taffeta Jumper Dress er, tho fun skirt Is ono of tho approved approv-ed features of tho modes, and Is still growing fuller. Wo smllo upon It approvingly now, and what, at its first appearances was looked upon as bulk and clumsiness, is now considered consider-ed quaint and daintily femlnlno. Ribbon As Trimming Ribbon is being used profusely ns trimming on both hats and frocks. It ranges in width from tho Inch wldo faille or molro banding, girdling tho wnlst of tho sovero Httlo frock of taffeta or serge, or, forming tho 'perky 'per-ky cockade on tho chic chnpenu, to tho wldo satin, molro, or taffeta ribbon rib-bon which forms tho entire skirt or bodlco of tho danco frock or dinner dress.

Jumpers Still In Vogue For lato spring and early fall, thero is nothing qulto as satisfactory as tho Jumper dress of taffeta, sorgo, or a Boft, lightweight wool. Worn with gulmpes, or over tho regulation shirt blouso of cropo do Chlno, cropo Geor gette, or taffeta It makos an attractive attract-ive costumo for street and gonoral daytlmo wear, perfectly sultablo with-out with-out coat or other wrap. Such a dress has all tho appeal of a ono piece frock with the added attraction of being easily freshened and changed by tho addition of a contrasting guimpo or underblouso. Ono of the most attractive of theso Jumper dress-cs dress-cs is illustrated hero, developed In block tnffetn.w 1th accompanying tin-dcrbodlce tin-dcrbodlce of whlto cropo Oeorgotto.

Variety In Sleeves Tho drop shoulder and full sleeve Is a fcaturo of mnny of tho now frocks; In fnct, tho sleovo Is tho point, It would seem, whoro designers design-ers nnd dressmakers aro expending most of their Ingenuity. Many original, orig-inal, nttractlvo notions aro bolng car-rled car-rled out In tho cuff, In tho trimming nnd In tho shoulder lino. Fulness Tho New Ribbon Girdle Is a decided feature, and many effectlvo ef-fectlvo methods of trimming aro bolng bo-lng resorted to; for lnstanco, stiff llttlo ruffles and frills and old tlmo quillings appear, lending nn air of 1S40J which is quite in keeping with tho full skirts nnd other features of this period dally being Introduced.
