at the back of the skirt narrow and close

The waist was made with circular
piece put over the hips. which fared out
much as did the underskirt.
The sleeves were full leg-of-mutton. I'm
ished at the wrists with tiny Jet em-
broidery.
The front OF the waist opened in revers
over an amethyst satin vest. and the revers
were finished with jabots of white lace,
which quite took away the straight, severe
look they otherwise would have had.
With this gown was worn curious little
French bonnet, which was perfectly fiat
on the head, and consisted of an immense
DOW of moire amethyst, the loops of which
sat straight up in the air at the back.
Around this bow was double row of pur-
