ONow this girl has n chum: and the
two are almost inycparable. That is
the reason 1 havo slctchcd them TO-
gcthcr. | must describe to YOU the
chums appearance. She is very spirit
uellc, has u sort OF dreamy, far-awav
look III her eyes, so that you always
feel II little dread in speaking to her.
tor fear you may be intcrruptiny her
converse with spiritland | have never
been able to decide why the laughing
Gil In the silver gown chose the holy
maiden for her friend, but she did, and
hes never regretted it either
The gown suited the pure expression
OF It's wearcr, for it was spotlcss. made
all Of Elc white cambria. 1t was Il very
simple empire, with low, squarc-cut
bodice frillcd on tight-fitting lining
and fastened together ut the back A
broad Powered sash tied in u big bow
far up the slender back and fell to the
girls feet.
Another pretty gown was made all in
pale yellow silk, of IL very soft and fine
texture. The dress had simply three
full rufles of silk at tho bottom, very
far apart, and three chiffon rufllcs ut
the neck. This belt had no strcamcrs;

One girl sat on the edge of a big easy
chair so that the view of her back was
very prominent. l did not blame her n
bit, for she had very pretty one Her
dress had no trimming save a little pink
ribbon and chiffon The dress was
gray blue, shade scarcely deeper than
blue white: all could see of the ribbon
was the strap coming from under each
arm and meeting in Il point at the CEN
ter of the waist, and another straight
band running around the waist itself.
Then the narrow ribbon floated down
and out from the gown in most grace
full lines. A little chiffon edged the
neck, and that was all. 1t was so grace
full that no one could help watching the
girl as she sat with bent head closely
studying her dance order, as if it were
Che most interesting thing in the world
Last, but not least, stepped forth Il
very young girl who had the queercst
dress of all. 1t was plain black satecn
beneath, and falling over was white
gauzc quantity embroidered in Il fantas-
tic ring pattern. The pattern was closer
Mt the bottom, forming border At
the low, square neck was black velvet
ruchc. The girl had japanese air
ABOUT her, acccItuatcd when she
bowed in the dance, for the full gauze
Vatican back fell all about her in
great folds.
A very neat dress for home wear
proper for young girl, can be made of
chcviot-say rich dark green. The
dress must be frightened with scarlet
cloth, and therefore we put three mar
row bands OF it at the edge, separated
by green braid. pointed bodice is
made by alternate bands of scarlet
cloth and fancy green and scarlet braid,
and from the yoke falls berthe of
plain green cloth, full over the shout
ders, but plain in front, falling in two
deep points over the plain green belt
below. Then from the under sleeve
come scarlet cuffs, edged with braid.
It's very neat costume for neat,
hone-lillc girl.
Then some Of the loose blouse effects
arc pretty, with embroidered bands
down the front Of the blouse, which is
confined by Bulgarian sash, knottcd
at one side and falling in long fringed
ends to the edge of the dress
