INDEPENDENT WAISTS
though not especially noticeable at this
stylish resort have vet to some extent
forced their way and deserve mention

work adds its glitter and completes the
unusual picture. Au equally elegant

garnitured by velvet leaves in natural !
color, each leaf coyered separately by !
crepe and in passing it may be remark
ed that the covering of leaves by crepe
