the beck widths to form the back draper

gated to ball and fell dress. Spring bacE
widths form the back draperies. Pointed
oodices and il the2e is 3 basque, 1t Is only
the gathered prolougation of the beltec
waist. Sashes which lie wide around tht
waist and then fall st the side, with TWO
ends as loCg IS the dress, will be favor

AS "a adjunct 10 spring dresses the
scaris will be le-gelV adopted. These
are generally made OF the same material
as the dress snd trimmed al around
with lace or fringe ard are thrown loosely
around The back, long ends dslliDg in

want Of pockets end recommend them
selves by their usefulness. Russian
styles are manifested in the display OF

with outre ornaments are paresols with
beetles scattered over the handles. Others
have yellow monkeys on the stick. The
bamboo handles carved in Ja-
panese style are decidedly srtis-

the fancy sunshsdes. A revival Of q by
gone fashion brings carved. ivory sticks
