tiles is of palest tobacco brown drap
dfete with fine threads of pale blue
woven through it, says the London
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times. The front of the skirt is turned
up, like an Old-fashloned "6sh-wife's''
skirt, over petticoat of plain pale blue
corded silk, the drapery of the turned
back overskirt blending and uniting
with the SOft-tinted brown at the back
in most charming way.
The bodice is formed of two parts, a
small brown Elton jacket coming Just tC
the WaiSt-line over a folded bodice OF
pale blue. Deep cuffs of blue are turned
back over full "blousy" sleeves OF
brown and a big brown nutmeg straw
hat has tall Empress plumes of blue and
a big velvet bow OF the same clasped by
a metallic buckle. Natty brown shoes
united to pale blue stockings clicked
with brown and big brown sunshade,

A Peculiar Gown
in the park the other day, worn by Lady
Ulrica DuncOmbe, the youngest sister
of the Duchess of I.einster. and of Lady
Helen Vincent, who is to be presented
at the first May drawing room, and who
is likely to be one of the reigning bellies
this season. But to return to the cos
tune of the pretty damSel in question,
it was "built" of fine dark blue serge
with broad sage-green velvet hem,
edged with narrow band of gold braid.
The back of the gown had a narrow
Vatican pleat coming from the neck
and hanging quite loose from the waist,
then merging cleyerlY into the demi-
train. The plain, tight-fitting bodice
had broad green velvet belt, close en-
brojdered with gold, while from the
| joining of the pleat at the back of the
bodice came deep fiounce-llke fichu of
the blue serge. edged like the skirt with
velvet and braid.
This fichu fell deeply over the shout
| ders and was drawn into sharp point
at the waist. The hat worn with thi:
rather eccentric get-up was of coarse
! black straw, with flaring brim anC
| tiny tail crown. This was trimmed will
