HER OWN TASTE IN DRESS.
Mrs. Cleveland has been criticised for

earned the reputation Of being the most
elaborate dresser since the days OF
Queen Elizabeth and when she ap-
pears in public the photographers are
bound by very right and admiration 10
rave over her dress creations. They are
wonderful, beautiful, bewildering, and
so dainty that she might well have
stepped from a picture canvas in the
Louvre. or borrowed herself from an old
