The first Is blue-not a heavy shade,

delicate Valenciennes lace; that the bod

over it, starting from beneath the arm,

material, that tie in a great bow over

of the bow have deep lace hounces

almost prettier. A deep V is formed by
rows of the material and the lace inser-

lace stripe. The sleeve is big puff that
