The surplice corsage has a well
fitting blouse back, but the ribbon girdle
is confined to the front, forming a point
as it ties. The skirt, made with no steels
and but a slight hustle, is laid in very

foot. A large Gainsborough hat of
straw is worn with the cos.
tune.
Pissed toilettes are a charming nov
city. And not only charming in them
selves but very simple and easily made
by hand. The skirt consists of a plain
shape laid with fine straight

bodice lining, and are drawn in at the
waist by a broad, firm belt. The sleeves
are likewise made of plisses arranged

tioWcrpots, and it must be acknowledged
that a plant intended as a present really

Even the most elegant toilets intended
to be worn at races, exhibitions and the
like, show the plain light skirt with the
front trimmed either with passementer:e
