Elaborate tea gowns are imported in
greater numbers and made of richer fabrics
than have been sent over at any previous
season. The growing popularity of 5

elegant robes, and ingenuity has well-nigh
exhausted itself in the production of gowns
expressive of peculiar quaintneSS of effect
and of novelty and grace in style and detail.
Many of the rarer gowns made in Paris
are copied from old paintings now hanging
in the Louvre. and are also made in EARLY
English style, these particular models
being formed of the richest satin broches
