dinner gowns and is thus fashioned: The
corsage has triangular opening with a
point at the throat and above this the
broad collar meets, which is made of

its entire width all around the neck.
The jeweled pin or delicate spray of
flowers rests on the left side Of the col

Young ladies fancy the pretty shirt
waists and blouses and wear them even
for dinner and theat dress evenings.
These are thorn stitched, silk embroid-
cred, galloon- trimmed, or they are shir-
red around the neck or else shirred only

are made for day wear of
some fine dark wool. and worn
over a pleated skirt Of the same fab

vest.
