THE FUTURISTS.

For the whole , idea of the new silhouette wo h'avo to thank in tho first place Mother Nature who gave to every woman two legs, and, in the second placo, tho futurists, who are doing their level best to malco that fact apparent to all beholders, writes a London correspondent. Theso new artists who wish to get back to Nature would liko to seo women's dress more like the attire usually favoured by men. Iho two soxes may in tho future dress alike, for all wo can tell' to the contrary. There is nothing of a startling nature in this. Tho most conservative nation on earth, tlie Chinese, pursue this plan, and we have lately had a chance of seeing how very pretty and modest withal a Chinoso woman's dress may be, in that amusing Chineso dance done by tho three Russians in Mile. Genee'-s company. Correctly cut and accurate were all the costumes, and tho lady proved to tho satisfaction of us all that the ■ Chineso trousers are no impediment to graceful movement in a woman. That the now silhouette must continue to follow closely tlie natural lines of tho figuro is beyond a doubt. When all tho extravagances aro reduced, as they probably will bo in course of time, for there never was a now fashion that did not call forth ridicule and contumely, it will perhaps bo a causo for wonder that women ever wore anything else but a bifurcated skirt. It is announced that'the futurist, M. Leon Bahst, Paquin's designer, is altogether in favour of it, and he it is who is breaking in tho world gradually to the now siiiioutte. Then all that remains to bo said is that the cost ought to bo bifurcated, too.
