style or your pocketbook. Choose a
| model from the following, or if you do
not like the following, please yourself
with a modification.
FOR USE AND BEAUTY.
Make a gown of dark brown velvet
| barred off with light brown: Cut the
skirt, if you would have it of the latest
| form. in fourteen breadths, a little long
round the back, so that it spreads out
in a big circle on the floor, a la Marie
de Medicis. Border it with very mar
row edge of sable, or leave it plain if
you prefer. Have figure Jacket of the
velvet cut with a low neck and sew on
to it a round collar six or eight inches
with sable. Wear it over a high-necked
blouse or pale green plated chiffon,
! with a green velvet neck-band. Or
make the blouse of yellow, if this color
suits you better. Cut the gigot sleeves
to run down on the hand in q long,
narrow tongue. If you do not care for
the jacket make a bodice, with the
front full, and plated into the belt Put
strap of fur over the armholes and
-,
from the front of each armhole diagon-
ally down on each side towards the
middle of the belt, so as to frame in
the fullness of the bodice, and by keep
ing the sides plain make the waist look
small. Or make a plain bodice with a
low-necked jet corselet and trim every
seam of the skirt down with Jet passe-
menterie.

box plat down the. front, into which
