straw. Metal additions in the way of
trimming are largely used, as for exam

jackets Of light mcsaic cloth, either black,
grey or brown, and in more sober atyle

mautillas. The Selka mantilla is @
graceful design, and in dolmans the
regina is q distinguished model, Gar.
ments made in silk are trimmed with
rainbow jet, and additional Hniah is Civ
