it without aid. All investments are made

elaborated. 1t may be In pink, pale

the ties are becoming to most faces, and
that they give a look Of daintiness to

Its fabric is metallic green satin liber-

front and back, and is bordered with
deep cream guipure. Reaching q few
inches below the waist the bodice ia
covered with loose blouse OF spsngled
black tulle shaped to fit the dress and
caught only ct the shoulder and arm
hole seams. The short sleeves are
draped with the same.
Less striking, perhaps, Is the third
pictured gown than the two last de-
scribed, yet it is sufficiently novel in cut
to prove attractive. Made from black
broche silk. it is prettily trimmed with
jet spangles. The bodice ia lined with
faille and fsstens in the center. 1t has
a square yoke banded with spangles
and ia alike in back and front. The full
ness is laid in pleats in front and back
and the silk is draped where it joins the
yoke. The sleeves are ornamented by
epaulettes that are attached to long
loose bretelles. and the circular basque,
which is also lined with faille, ia gar
nished with two rows of jet spangles.
The moderately wide gored skirt ia sim

OF gray suiting trimmed with white.
The skirt opens at the right front to

the shoulder, leaving the pretty arms

see congregated and crowded together

over the chintzes and curtains, and the
carpets are either mOsaics, of imitation

with a sprawling arrangement of leaves
and spotty flowers. The tiles and
