A gray mohair recently finished for q
European tourist was prettiIy made with
plain full skirt falling over a silk fold.
The bodice ended at the waist line on
the sides, with tiny point in front.
The yoke was made into deep point in
front; from this the mohair was laid in
tiny plaits, held in place by being well
tackled. From the sides of the basque

and the yoke were finished with ribbon,
as were the cuffs of the loose sleeves.

the watering places with lace skirts,
and are lovely. They are made entirely
of ribbons narrowed together at the
waist line and widening toward the
shoulders. Below the waist they widen
out again, and falling nearly the full
length of the skirt cover it with lines.
