thing of costliness as well. Still the
economical woman can make herself a
pretty frock of the new ginghams or
satines that are so artistic in color and
design; one, too, that need not swell the
bills to an alarming total. A

Persian designs, is prettily made
with q skirt having the fulness in two
large box plaits at the back and hanging
almost plain over the hips, the front
panel of three deep, scant hounces
trimmed on the edge with embroidery or
an inexpensive colored or white lace.

around the bottom of the long bodice, a
two-inch ribbon passing twice around the
