The sides were very fun OF dotted moussel-

them round out so prettily, were two bands
of lace insertion, with white satin found

round short puffs that formed sleeves,
but between the puffs and the confirming
bands floated a ruffle of accorieon-pleate ed
gauze. A very small belt Of folded lavender
satin commenced in front, and then wild
ened out and up, to form the entire small
back, except the piece just under the arms.

She showed me another demi-toilette-

It's foundation was blue taffeta, a deli
cate shade, with just suspicion of rob-
ns-egg in the tint-a suspicion that was
softened some by the beautiful lace that
enveloped the whole--a lace in the finest
quality of application. The ribbon was
exquisite also-heavy white satin, with
each edge closely run with small gold
spangles. Bows of this ribbon were most
effective; and a small one was shortly
looped at the neck, in the back. and had
