In this department, not being an

possible under the circumstances. The

the skirt of brocaded satin, with paniers

Int draperies at the back falling from a
arge bow of the combined materials. The

Ind sleeves with rich Spanish lace.
She wore long white gloves and the
of French satin slippers. A.
veil of white illusion completed the CO.'S

inery art, we are unable to enter into
letails.
