dye, between deep crimson rose ana
rich dahiia color. 1t is alike becoming

The graduated velvet ribbons, the
EARLIEST trimming employed, are in
favor still. and deservedly, as there is
no more graceful trimming, unless the
mistake is made of inverting the rows

trimming and. gown, confuseS the eye
md is altogether inartistic.
