A most useful article for ladies to
have in their possession Is a girdle, the
like of which friend of mine has Just
brought from Paris. The girdle is made
Of gold lace or filigree, substantial, but
not harsh, and is studded all over with
jewels Of various colors. The ends are
passed around the waist from the front,
crossing behind, and, again coming for
ward, are allowed to fall in front or on
one side, being fastened loosely shortly
below the waist. The ends are finished
off with gold fringe.
The girdle is most adaptable and can
be worn with q morning wrapper, tea
gown, or an evening dress. When l
saw 1t. it was associated with summer
tea gown Of pretty design. The material
was combination of cotton and wool
in pale blue, with white stripes 1t had
q sailor collar, with narrow lace edging
and lace cuffs. The garment was de-
cidedly loose. and of fair length behind.
