NOVELTIES IN OVERALLS

/''OVERALLS arc being developed to a great extent this season, especially for country wear. In their newest guise they are almost frocklike in appearance. The newest of all are made on pinafore lines, fashioned with pretty belts, on to which are eased rather full skirts and long plain bodices. Unike the modes of yesterdaythe new overalls fasten down the back instead of in front, while some arc so ingeniously made that they require no fastenings at all, the skirts being cut so that they cross over behind and are kept in place by sash-like ends. Instead of cretonne, printed organdie muslin, plain linen and tussore silks are being used for the newest modes. Many of these show fanciful side panels, embroidered in gay tones of wool work, or floral and fruit appliques, cut from printed silks or cretonnes and appliqued on to the plain background with a rather coarse buttonhole stitch worked in black silk.
