that up with being extrayagant
Ii Is Il good thing for women that fashion
has OF late years turned our attention TO
house gowns. Nowhere should "a woman
look more charming than in her own home.
Nowhere is she in an atmosphere more
calculated to suggest about her all the
charm OF femininity in its best and sweet
est way. The "tea-gown- Is or may be a
triumph for all OF us. 1t combines the sim

going without stays, and yet wearing the
ordinary gown. Twill acknowledge at once
