A DRESS REVOLT.

.In January and February the ball season, winch is a thing in a manner distinct from tho dancing season, is in ■ fill! swing, writes iv correspondent, iii tho "Australasian." In tho provinces the huut balls are being'given. A feature of tho dresses is tho shortness of tho skirts. In some eases tl.io hem 13 live inches from tho ground alt round. Jinny of the skirts opeii nearly to tho knee, so that tliero. is full jifcdoin tor tho movements ..of the dance. . Perhaps the most popular colour-combination is I, white and gold, which has been worn by Sfivpfttl* bridfta 'during ih.b' .la.st- .i'GW months, and k now being, used general? ly for evening woar. White and .. gold draperies, with a suggestion of classio ornamentation in tho upper part of the gown, affords a pleasant contract to (lid more barbaric fashions of the hour. Gold shoes arid stockings of a very palo grey are being worn with tho white a»d gold frocks, si A revolt against the eccentricities of inodorn wear is also, to ba detected in tho popularity of Quaker tints, such as palo grey made in soft mutorinls like voiles, zephyrs, and grenadines Ono of tljo .fashion Winers calls attention to a charming grej woollc.il cOstumo niEido ufj Over wfiitq luitiste, with a panuier just suggested oil either SidO- ®wblouse accompanying it .1$ 111 iiinon of tho 6aino shado of grey., and tho coat matches the skirt with long rovers in white pique.. Tho coat does not quite meet over tho cliest, go tlio front of the blouse can just 130 seoM. Even tho Parisian designers uro coming to sec that tho daring designs, of tho last yeas' require defence. 'JUL Poi'rct, tho Parisian dressmaker, who has design'.'il su many of tiio more startling frocks o.f recent years, even admits that tho .present tendency is. ,fo frocks to. becomo 1110ro simple,, and thinks that tho tcndoiicy will be emphasised during tho coming season. ;"jlv collection," says St. Poiret.

In this way the leg is outlined 1 iii walking, w. Poif.et balds the: rathSr daiigerouS doctrine that 110 dress is ini- , iiiodest in itself. It appears so, ho says, only when, tha wearer is- immod- ■ est. This may be so, but- it seems to involve 4 far-reaching indictment against tho .wearers of iiiaiiy .rnod.orn frocks, including not a few designed bv leading Parisian dressmakers, .m.oro intent upon lnoncy-makiiig than keeping weak womanhood from temptation.
