light catches it. The edge of the blouse
and the neck are profusely adorned with
gold and silver passementeries. The girl
might look queenly if she were only tall.
but alas Ia afraid she only looks tritle
ridiculous.
What do you think of this woman just
behind? Surely she is regal enough in
her black velvet bodice, with that yoke
all set in rhinestones. Let me see; how
many are there? Twelve rows across both
back and front, ten in each line. That
makes 240. Then there are few more on
and sort OF daZzles one. Does she look
pretty? Well, not exactly; only start
ling.
Here's girl that really does look well.
Her dress is of some very soft material
we're too far away to see what-of a pale
gray shade. 1t clings, and very closely.
There's dainty puff of pure white velvet
at the skirts edge; the bodice of gray
turns back in immense revers Of white
velvet, and has a narrow white chiffon
front. Her big hat of white beaver is all
plumes and aigrettes and velyet-every-
thing the one spotiess color, not even q
touch of gray or of gold.
Her companion is robed all in green-no,
not quite all, there are few touches of
black about her. The green skirt is We
lours, and opens in front over a green
satin of the same dark shade, trimmed
with black passementerie bands. Her
bodice also turns back from vest Of green
satin, in revers of the same. Her Empire
belt is of black velvet, and the very short
and full cape, with deep turned-down col
lar, is almost covered by black passemen-
teries
But, oh just look at this next gay figure
Isn't she bright. though? Her gown-or
all there IS to be seen OF it's quiet enough,
with its MORE and satin stripe in black,
and its three tiny ruffles at the edge. But
just look at her long cape, in the brightest
of scarlets one ever saw. It's most pretty
at the neck, too. quite unique, with its
high black lace collar that meets the lace
rutfie laid around the neck and falling over
the shoulders. In the front, you see, this
lace is brought all the way down to the
edge of the cape in fancy gathers, but in
the back, now that she has passed, we see
that 1t is only laid around once, and that
the collar and the ruffie are united by a
fine jet ornamentation. The back of the
wrap has also two wide bands of jet which
stand out well on the bright scarlet.
Here comes pretty blonde in turquoise
blue and dark green. Have you seen the
new green and blue combinations? There
are great many of them, ana they strike
you first as being rather queer; but after
you've looked at them a while you begin
to feel reconciled and to think that per-
haps after all they may be pretty. But
this girl hasn't any of these new shades
her gown is pale turquoise, and is richly
trimmed with broad band of dark green
ostrich feathers. There Is good deal of
the ribbon arrangement on the waist, very
much after the summer style, and a wat
teau back of blue trailing only slightly,
and almost covered up by the broad edges
of dark green ribbon bow. Her hat is
very tiny, all made up of forget-me-nots
Her costume isn't quite the thing for
Broadway in the afternoon, but she seems
obllviOus of this. and saunters carelessly
